ONE SHADE

AW12 Burberry, brown, smokey eyes on Cara Delevigne.

Eyeshadow doesn’t always have to be an elaborate job with two or three shades, – using one color is sometimes and quite often enough to make an impact. For a natural, everyday look, I like to use a matte brown shade close to the lashes and blending it for a smokey, day look. Just a little bit of definition. You can use both cream or powder shadow or a soft pencil/kohl if you like but the key is to blend, blend, blend. I like to use a fluffy brush like no 217 from Mac.

For more drama, use a black or gray shade and blend it both on the upper and lower lid, making sure you get close to the lashes and really in between.

Fluffy blending brushes such as the MAC ‘217’ brush is a must have when doing eye makeup.
