The Sixties was all about heavy feline-inspired eyeliner, the Seventies saw us douse ourselves in bronzer, the Eighties brought colour to our make-up bags and the Nineties was all about a fresh, paired-back face.

Max Factor has been charting the key make-up looks through the centuries as part of its 100 Years Of Glamour campaign.

And celebrity make-up artist Pat McGrath has created what she believes to be the 'look of the century' on Victoria's Secret stunner Candice Swanepoel.

Using Candice as her muse, Pat has created a powerful ‘Party’ look – a refreshing and new approach to glamorous party looks, using bold colours and the very best in make-up artistry know-how.

Candice's eyes have been adorned in different shades of blue eyeshadow while her lips pop with a pillarbox red colour.

Her cheekbones have been accentuated with bright pink blush while her eyebrows have been made dark and bold.

Speaking about the look Pat says: "This is a very bold, brave, decadent and hedonistic look, bold shimmers, lots of colour, full blush, glossy lips.

"This is a really strong couture look that women can take inspiration from.

"You can take the blush, a bold lip, even use the eyeshadow and just work it as an eyeliner - you can literally break it apart to make the perfect party look for you and if you’re brave, do the whole thing.”

If it gets us looking like Candice, who will be in the UK in December for the Victoria's Secret show, we're happy to give it a go.
