Love a smoky eye?

The modern way to wear sooty shadow is in sheer, creamy formulas that swipe on easily with a finger. Just in from Japan, Decorté Eye Glow Gems, £25, feel beautifully mousse-like, blend like a dream – and didn’t smudge or dissolve, even on oily lids. There’s hardly a duff shade out of 30, but BR383, a flattering, bronzy-mauve is my pick. Also new and excellent, Smashbox Photo Edit Eye Shadow Trios, £20, contain three complimentary shadows. Showmance, with pearl, khaki and toasty mink, would be lovely on deeper skin tones. >>
