Forget the idea that bold colours are only for runway models or beauty influencers. This August, Kryolan Professional Make-up is inviting Durbanites to step outside their comfort zones and discover just how wearable a splash of colour can be.

Taking place at The Pavilion Shopping Centre on Saturday, 22 August, the Colour Confidence Make-up Masterclass will give you practical tips and seasonal inspiration to really freshen up your look.

If you’ve always lived in neutral tones with a secret longing for a dash of colourful eyeshadow or a statement lip, these interactive sessions will show you that colour isn't as intimidating as it seems.

Professional make-up artists will share easy techniques to:

  • Wear colour confidently in everyday make-up.
  • Use colour placement to enhance your natural features.
  • Add fresh pops of colour to eye and lip looks.
  • Learn professional application tricks.
  • Discover products and shades perfect for spring.

According to The Pavilion Shopping Centre's General Manager, Vicky Deppe, the sessions are all about helping shoppers feel inspired as the new season approaches.

"Following the popularity of our Durban July style activations, we wanted to continue offering experiences that help shoppers stay up to date with seasonal trends. Whether you're just beginning your make-up journey or simply looking to refresh your skills, these masterclasses are designed to inspire confidence and creativity."

It's less about completely reinventing your look and more about finding simple ways to inject a little personality into your daily routine.
