IN the latest of our easy-to-follow beauty videos, Sophie Bannister shows you how to perfectly blend two shades of eyeshadow to create a dramatic effect.

Sophie, owner of Robinson’s Hair and Beauty, in Norwich Road, Ipswich, previously showed readers how to master the on-trend scalp plait.

Here she shows you how to define the area under your brow using a lighter shade then add a bold colour to the upper lid to really make a statement.

Next week, Sophie will be showing readers another simple but effective hairstyle they can do for themselves or a friend, helping to give you a new look for 2013.
