Makeup guide: discover your inner Dita Von Teese

Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies primer

Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies eye liner
With a good-quality black liquid liner (I use Lancôme's Laque Liner), brush on in one swoop; if you're less confident, start in the middle and draw out with a slight flick, then go from the inner corner to the middle. Add a couple of coats of mascara Photograph: Hong Gyoung Tae
Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies eyebrow powder
This look requires strong eyebrows. Take a small, angled eyeliner brush, coat in brow wax - mine's by Paula Dorf Cosmetics - then brush on dark eyebrow powder (Dorf again) for definition. The look also demands pale skin, but blusher will make cheekbones stand out. Take a big blush brush and apply powder (mine is Mac's Breath of Plum) to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards. The beauty spot is optional Photograph: Hong Gyoung Tae
Lauren Luke: Lauren Luke applies lip colour
Red lips are vital. Start with a red lip liner to trace the natural outline and define the Cupid's bow, then fill with a creamy red lipstick - Estée Lauder's All Day Lipstick in rich red Photograph: Hong Gyoung Tae
