SMOKY EYES
The key thing to remember, says Dominic, is that, ‘You don’t need to be heavy-handed. A smoky eye can simply be a line of eye pencil smudged with your finger for soft, quick, but effective make-up.’ For more smoke, start slowly with a wash of colour two or three shades darker than your natural skin tone before building – it’s easier to add than to take away. He loves Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pots (€22 each) – Groundwork (1) is great for fairer skins; for deeper tones, try It’s Fabstract (2). To work up more colour Dominic recommends Mac Extra Dimension Eyeshadows
Evening Grey, soft pearlessence gives the eye both highlight and shade. I also like the new
Colour palettes, which come in flattering shades such as

Gel eyeliners are the way to go as pencils can give a bumpy finish
Powder Kiss Lipstick
Glossier Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick in Zip (4, €17, glossier.com). But generally, for wiser mouths, opt for a creamier texture – you can always press on lipstick with your finger for a softer swish of colour. @edwinaingschambers
