Beauty How-To: Smoky Eyes Made Simple

What You'll Need:
An eye shadow base
An eye shadow compact containing silver, gray and charcoal
Black eyeliner
Black mascara

Get the Look in 5 Simple Steps:

1) Apply shadow base to your entire lid. This will prevent anything you put on top from creasing.

2) Define your upper lashlines with eye pencil. To make straight, even lines, work from the outer edges in. Then blend with a cotton swab.

3) Sweep on shadow. Use a medium brush to apply gray, the medium color to your entire lid. Then dust chocolate, the darker shade, onto your creases as an accent. Lastly, highlight the area just under your brows with the lightest shade. "Palettes are handy because they take the guesswork out of choosing colors; they've been designed to contain only complementary hues," says Poon.

4) Apply your pencil. Redefine your upper lashlines with pencil, but don't blend this time, for an extra dose of deep, dark color.

5) Layer on mascara. "Apply two coats in rapid succession, wiggling the wand from the base of lashes to the tips to avoid clumping," says Poon. "For extra impact, curl your lashes first."

Autumn Winter Trends

"My newest MAC collection"

Artsy


The endorsement of Make up as a medium that mimics Art. The references; calligraphic brush strokes of colour, street art doodlings, the golden gilding of Gustav Klimt, the underage naïfs of artist Egon Shiele. Despite their differences, all are art.



Influenced by the flora and fauna-inspired art of the Lalannes Catherine Malandrino's palette becomes nature based with the key eye shaded as colourfully as a turning leaf. The palette: Eye Shadow, Gorgeous Gold, Coquette and Flourishing with Fibre Rich Lash, All Black.

Eye Shadow
Flourishing: Rich moss green (Matte²)





Eye Shadow
Coquette: Muted greyish-taupe (Satin)





Eye Shadow
Gorgeous Gold: Low-light yellow gold (Veluxe





Seventease


The fragile know-it-all-innocence, and its counterpoint, the sexy dramatic glamour of the 70s come back as modern as anything. Take as your cue over-done Disco eyes or do a Stevie Nicks, mashing in pigments, till an ethereal softness emerges.



At Luca Luca, designer Luca Orlandi's beautifully spare and precise designs were timeless, the right setting for a richly goldmined eyes that pitted precious metals against velvet against satin to evoke the expensive glamour mood of the 70's. Features: Pigment, Golden Lemon, Eye Shadows, Carbon and Brun, and 7 Lash.

Pigment
Golden Lemon: Bright Lemon gold with shimmer (Frost)





Eye Shadow
Brun: Muted blackish-brown (Satin)
