BACK IN BLACK:
Cool looks as the pros show you how to take your eye make-up to the dark side
EVERY season, one colour or another is declared ‘the new black’. Orange is the obvious choice (because who doesn’t love a pun on the Netflix prison drama?) but for once, the darkest hue isn’t being dismissed in favour of brighter shades, because it took centre stage at the AW18 shows.
Black is back, people, and it’s more beautiful than ever, thanks to a trio of make-up artists at London Fashion Week.
From graphic liner to a smudgy, smoky-eye, we’ve got the inside scoop on how to recreate these stunning looks with minimal fuss.
Eyeliner at the ready, here are three easy jet-black updates for autumn...
SIXTIES CHIC AT DAVID KOMA
NAOKO Scintu, lead make-up artist for Suqqu, called this: “A subtle nod to the Sixties – a clean, graphic eye paired with dewy, fresh skin.”
That means a flawless foundation base, brushed up brows and a light wash of pinky nude to begin with on the eyelids. Method: “Apply Suqqu Creamy Eyeliner [it comes with a brush] from halfway along the lower lash extending to a feline flick, and on the upper lash from the inner corner to the middle of the eye.
“Set with powder to ensure it doesn’t smudge, then apply Black Natural Curl Mascara to the top lashes only.” Use: Suqqu Black Creamy Eyeliner, £25, Selfridges Suqqu Volume Curl Mascara, £29, Selfridges
