SMUDGY EYE

The classic smoky eye is great, but who has the time and energy for all that blending and precision application? This season, meet the smudgy eye, the smoky eye’s undone, less complicated sister. On the catwalk: Tom Pecheux, the make-up genius behind the looks at Balmain (left) and Altuzarra, adopted a similar approach for each show by applying a clear eye gloss over some quickly applied liner and blending them together for maximum smudge appeal. In your life: Do as Tom did and stock up on Mac Studio Eye Gloss, Dh138, and a creamy eyeliner that will move easily – we love Diorshow Black Kohl, Dh112. Sweep the eyeliner across your top and bottom lid. Do not worry about being neat – this look is the antithesis of that. Then apply some of the gloss on top and, using your finger, blend the products together to fill your eyelid with a transparent black effect. Do the same along your bottom lash line. Team with mascara if you can be bothered.
