Eye spy

I have always been partial to a dramatic black eye. Sexy, timeless and classically stylish nothing adds more to a face than a dark, smouldering eye lined in a wet slick of black ink.
Next season, it’s a mandatory makeup addition with makeup maestros flicking, slicking and painting eyes in deep, dark stormy hues for the AW 2010 collections. Whilst some are a little risky to attempt at home (see Chanel!) I’ll be seeking inspiration from Louis Vuitton’s La Dolce Vita cats eye and Julianne Moore’s 60’s macquillage in A Single Man.
My tools of choice? Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner (its super-fine felt tip gives great eye, dries instantly and doesn’t budge), Nars eyeshadow in Eurydice (electric aubergine and graphite) and Enormous Mascara by Beauty Society. Blinking fabulous and utterly smoking.

Dusty Springfield was known for that really black eye makeup look. It was so over the top but her eyes looked amazing, the darker they were the better it was.
