A New Twist on an Old Classic: Smoky Eyes

Sultry, smoky eyes are always a big beauty hit and this season the look is going nowhere!

Morning-after eyes featured heavily on all A/W 12 catwalks with Marc Jacobs showing New York how it’s done by going full-on grunge with kohl-defined lowered lashes and a heavy smudging of black eyeshadow on models eyelids.

London was treated to a wearable version of the trend when Roksanda Illincic came to town- models eyes were defined with kohl and the look was finished off with a touch of light grey eyeshadow, creating an everyday option for us non rock-chicks.

This winter, put your own stamp on this classic look with UK beauty brand MeMeMe Cosmetics. The all-female team know everything there is about beauty and pride themselves on creating innovative and affordable products like their new Ebony (£4.99) and Twilight £4.99) eyeshadows. Team with their Kohl Eye Line (£4.99) and practice creating your own smoky eyes.

The way to wear the look this season is with a nude face and lips, the focus is definitely on the eyes! Keep your hair and your outfit simple too- I suggest a wet-look ponytail and sleek, minimalist outfit to create a statement. MeMeMe Cosmetics are available in all Superdrug stores nationwide and online at mememecosmetics.co.uk now!
