ONE-COLOUR SMOKEY EYES

A GLAM evening eye has never been easier, thanks to the huge number of eye shadow crayons now on the market.

But the latest look is to stick to one colour and blend it over the lid and lash line — and you don’t have to be neat.

I love the new Nars Velvet Shadow Sticks (below, far left, £ 21, narscosmetics. co. uk) which are soft to blend. For a longer-lasting colour, use Trish McEvoy 24-Hour Eye Shadow and Liner, (centre, £24, selfridges.com). For a cheaper option, Beauty Pie’s Wondercolour Cream Eyeshadow Sticks are a real bargain at £2.30 for members of Beauty Pie (left, beauty pie.com).
