This autumn/winter it’s all about the eyes. Go for strong, smoky and versatile looks that can work for both day or evening, depending on the intensity you choose to create.
Here are three great trends we bring to you straight from the catwalk:
1. Abstract Black (as seen at Balenciaga, Lanvin and Gucci). This strong eye builds from the black winged-eye we saw in spring/summer 2008, and is thick and smoky with touches of colour and white inside the lower lid for reflective depth -think Amy Winehouse meets smoky eye.
2. Structured color (as seen at Christian Dior, Miu Miu (pic. otdff)and John Galliano). Block colours are used in a bold way, painting around the entire eye. Combining purples, greens, orange and turquoise shades it touches on a psychedelic look. Just ensure you tone it down for the office!
3. Metallic finish (as seen at Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Pringle). This look is modern, futuristic and a little sci-fi. It combines contrasting warm and cold tones to create texture and contrast. Gold is big this season and perfect for day or night.
