Let’s start with the polished face. Here are some ideas to help achieve the look:

1) Try Nouveau Eyelash extensions (from £80) or an Eyelash Tint and Perm (£17 and £40) from Elegance Beauty clinic for long, dark, battable lashes.

2) For voluptuous scarlet lips, treat yourself to L’Absolu Rouge lipstick by Lancome (£17) at Beauty Base. For an even matt skinbase, try gorgeous shimmery Dior face powder 002 (£28) or Givenchy Matissime powder (£27) in one of six shades to suit your complexion.

3) The Body Shop’s Divide and Multiply mascara (£11) is a brilliant new product for accentuating starlet eyes, especially teamed with their black pencil Eye Definer (£7.50).

4) Hair must be ultra-glossy and neat. An Express Nourishing Ritual treatment (£15) and Blow Dry (from £37) courtesy of Sassoon Salon is the best way to attain enviable locks.

5) Finally, a Manicure (£18) and Full Spa Pedicure (£28.50) from Enzo Trevi completes the prinked-from-top-to-toe glow of satisfaction.

For the Gothic vamp pose, we have the crucial elements!:
1) The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes – Palette 17, (£10),  a dark romantic mix of inky blues, black and silver, is the perfect way to add mystery to eyes.

2) For a slightly less Siouxsie and the Banshees effect, try Dior 5 Colour Shimmer Eyeshadow 790 (£34) or 2 Colour Matt 065 (£23) on the lids and socket area, and then brush on layers of Diorshow Iconic Mascara (£18) which creates a thick, smoky covering courtesy of a full dimension brush. The look is intense but elegant.

3) Zara cosmetics offer six Lip Crayons (£2) and 8 Lip Colorglosses (£4) in colours that range from neutral to deep plum via pillar box red to help you play up or tone down your new mysterious look!
