Beauty: Relive the 20s era with a bold flapper look

Cue the 1920s and go Gatsby this season with Maybelline New York. The look is luminous porcelain skin, defined brows, bold eyelashes and colour-popping lips.

To achieve this on-trend look, follow Maybelline New York's makeup artist Julia O'Neil's steps below to recreate true flapper style.

Step 1 Knowledge is powder: Blend Fit Me Foundation (RRP$22.99) into the skin, skip the bronzer and set the foundation with Fit Me Pressed Powder (RRP$19.99) to achieve a perfect velvet, matte finish. Keep blush to a minimum by lightly sweeping a hint of Fit Me Blush in Medium Pink (RRP$19.99) over the apples of the cheeks.

Hint: Try using a powder puff to gently roll and press the powder into small sections of the skin at a time.

Step 2 Groom your eyebrows with Master Shape Brow Pencil (RRP$18.99) and work a thin layer of Eye Studio Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe (RRP$13.99) from the eyelid up to the crease of the eye, then blend the edges.

Hint: This will create the perfect base for long-lasting eyeshadow and will also stop creases.

Step 3 Use Expert Wear Quads Eyeshadow in Charcoal Smokes (RRP$15.99) for a modern, smoky look. For added intensity, apply the darkest shade along the lash-line and blend upwards.

Hint: Blending is key to any smoky eye look - blend well and when you think you've finished, blend some more.

Step 4Line the top lash-line with Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner (RRP$19.99) in black and apply two coats of Volum' Express The Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara (RRP$23.99) on the upper and lower lashes for long, dark, full lashes.

Step 5 Define your lip using SuperStay Lip Liner in Red (RRP$18.99) and really focus on defining the Cupid's bow. Fill in the entire lip with the lip pencil to create a long-lasting base. Top this off with Color Sensational Vivids in Neon Red ($20.99) for a pop of beautiful, intense colour.
