Charismatic, striking women are sometimes accused of being witches or supernatural, such is the power of their hynotic gaze and mesmerising smile. Those who wear make-up have a few tricks up their sleeves to maintain the illusion. We know that rather than magic it's the careful application of cosmetics and a practiced technique of wielding a hairdryer and lipgloss rather than a malevolent spell which produces the magic. The only wand you need to wave is that within a tube of mascara.

In this video, the enchanting Tallulah Harlech and make-up magician Kay Montano put their heads together to create the look of an evil icy enchantress fit for a fairy tale. Skipping blusher, (whoever heard of a rosy-cheeked villain?) Kay highlighted cheeks and temples to create a glow around the eyes. The Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder is Kay's highlighter of choice, giving a fine glow to the skin rather than glitter.

The eyes have it, in shades of blue creating a haze of colour. Your best frend will be a soft make-up brush to blend as you apply so the blue fades out towards the edges. Navy liquid liner and blue mascara finish off the eyes to keep the look monochromatic. The lipstick is a vibrant violet pink: lips don't need to be dark to be dramatic.

Our hair stylist Ayo created a big style with height for Tallulah's hair and added a braid to add a regal touch. Supplement with hair pieces if your hair's lacking in the necessary volume. The nail artist Carly then added nails with embellishments and a sinister point for talons to cause mayhem with. Witches don't sport a demure french manicure.

Corinne Bailey Rae went totally disco for this glamorous seductive night time look celebrating colour, shine and wild unrestrained hedonism. Starting from the vibe and attitude of Studio 54, Kay Montano pictured Corinne on the cover of American Vogue in the '70s ending up with a smouldering after hours look which could stop you in your tracks across a flashing dance floor. Corinne takes us into the mind of her disco diva.

Why disco?

"The images we see from Studio 54 fascinate me. Bianca Jagger on a white horse or Diana Ross dancing with movie stars, the gorgeous trannies, the outfits, the hairstyles, the mix of people - all fabulous and glamorous. I love getting dressed up for stage and this look is all about that.  Everyone dressing for the spectacle, they were the show! I love that!"

The look

"I loved the shiny, sticky lips and having big hair! It was fascinating to see how Kay applies lipstick, right to the edge of the cupid's bow. I have obviously been doing it wrong forever!"

Behind the look

This is a look which has a lot of everything. Kay started with a vibrant coral blusher and contrasting shimmer highlighter, both from Kevyn Aucoin, to shape the cheekbones. Working from inside out, soft black pencil was applied all around the eye and smudged out to create intensity and definition. Next an ultra violet eyeshadow was applied on the lids. The colour is concentrated on the outer third of the lid and nearer the lashline and blended up and out. A candy pink shadow was dabbed on the inner third of the lids and under the brow bones to create highlights and dimension. This kind of technique takes a bit of practice and time but the reward is a subtle dimensional eye makeup rather than a flat block of colour on the lids.

For maximum colour and impact rather than a lipstick Kay used a Sleek Pout Paint, a full saturated opaque cream lip colour, painted on with a brush. The lips were lined with a pencil liner first to create the outline and then painted in: definitely a high maintenance diva lip.

Hairstylist Philippe worked with Corinne's wonderful natural hair texture to tease out a wild untamed style which is full of movement. The finishing touch was a chrome finish foiled silver nail reminiscent of the disco ball the diva would dance under.

Red lips are Peony's signature beauty look and a classic style that has become the little black dress of make-up looks. "Red lips are what people know me for beauty wise, so it was fun to play with the idea. It's classic and chic but also fun and kitsch. I think a red lip always makes you feel brave."

Kay shows us two different ways to try a red lip playing with different shapes and textures. The first is an exagerated cupid's bow, a look associated with 20s style. For a perfect finish, start by covering your natural lip shape with foundation or a dab of concealer and then painting in the lip colour with a brush. The next look is a more natural shape, following the natural line of Peony's lips, finishing with a high shine lip gloss. With red lipstick, the challenge is to find a shade you like but a classic cream finish scarlet is a good place to start.
