Maddison Brown is a woman of many talents; actor, model, business owner. Ever the chameleon, Brown is unafraid of the unknown – never compromising on her vision, always ready to try her hand at something new.
For the pages of our March Life issue, she sizzles in a glowing, sunset palette of cherry reds, plums and pinks for Dior Beauty, while makeup artist Claire Thomson takes us through each look to give us her tips, tricks and advice for achieving Brown's perfectly undone glamour.

Beauty notes – Line lips in DIOR BEAUTY Contour Lip Liner Pencil in 777 ‘Fahrenheit’, and apply DIOR BEAUTY Rouge Dior Lipstick shade 777 ‘Fahrenheit’ in Velvet Finish. Prime the eyes with DIOR BEAUTY Forever Cushion Powder, then apply the lipstick to the eyelids, concentrating in the crease of the eye and blending to achieve the desired effect. Use DIOR BEAUTY Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in 012 ‘Rosewood’ as contour for a modern 70s glam.
Beauty notes — Use the darkest matte shade of DIOR BEAUTY Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eye Palette in 689 ‘Mitzah’ over the lid, then apply the same shade as lips: DIOR BEAUTY Rouge Dior Lipstick shade 818 ‘Be Loved’ in Satin Finish. Try to avoid hard lines and play with the shape, blending out beyond the corners and up to the brow bone.
Beauty notes — The flush of pink all over the eye was created by applying DIOR BEAUTY Forever Cushion Powder, then adding a wash of DIOR BEAUTY Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in 001 ‘Pink’ over the entire lid. This was then layered to add depth. Keep the centre and lower lid sheer to open the eye. Lips were lined in DIOR BEAUTY Contour Lip Liner Pencil in 777 ‘Fahrenheit’, and filled in with DIOR BEAUTY Rouge Dior Lipstick shade 777 ‘Fahrenheit’ in Velvet Finish.
Beauty notes — Continue the drama by blending the colour around the cheek for a gothic beauty. This shape is rounded to soften the contour. Use velvet or matte-finish lipstick, to your preference. Apply DIOR BEAUTY Rouge Dior Lipstick shade 818 ‘Be Loved’ in Satin Finish to the lips in a few layers for extra drama.

Beauty notes — Change up your dramatic eye with DIOR BEAUTY Diorshow 5 Colouleurs Eye Palette in 689 ‘Mitzah’.Trace the entire upper and lower lash line with the darkest shade to add drama, then use the lightest colour in the inner corners and on the centre of the lid. Apply as many coats of DIOR BEAUTY Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara in 090 Noir/Black as you are up for (each layer will edge you closer to 60s/70s goddess.) Keep lips pale, lining with DIOR BEAUTY Contour Lip Liner Pencil in 000 ‘Diornatural’, then fill in with DIOR BEAUTY Rouge Dior Lipstick in 100 ‘Nude Look’ in Velvet Finish.
