SS15’s take on ‘smoky’ is mauve-toned and muted – a sheer wash of all-over lilac, that brightens with minimal effort. At Derek Lam, the girls were big-of-brow and dewy-skinned, with just a hint of aubergine-y pigment on their upper lids. And at London’s Matthew Williamson show, models looked like divas on their way home from the disco – with slightly sweat-look dancefloor skin and ombre lilac shadow swept from inner corners to their temples.
Jouer Cosmetics {Crème Eyeshadow Crayon} in Renaissance is the perfect red-toned purple, or choose Sunday Riley’s {Prismasilk Eye Colour} in Solstice – a buttery pressed powder, shot through with a hint of shimmer. Kevyn Aucoin’s {The Eyeshadow Duo} in Silvered Lilac/Bloodroses will take you seamlessly from desk to dinner, and for those who like a subtle nod to trends, then line your eyes with Jouer’s {Liquid Shimmer Eyeliner} in Sable – a glimmering sheer plum.
