Starting the collection with a glamorous and sultry smokey eye which has us swooning! This incredible look starts with a brown shadow lining the bottom lash line, then work black kohl eyeliner from the waterline and along the top lash line. Blend a brown eyeshadow from the outer corner of the eye towards the centre of the eye, and finish with a beautiful gold shadow blended from the inner corner to the centre.

This is a truly classic smokey eye with a blend of gorgeous greys and blacks. To recreate, start with a light brown from the centre of the eye to the outer corner.

Bring the eyeshadow along the lower lash line, adding a subtle flash of gold on the bottom line towards the inner corner. Finish with a silver shade in the inner corner and finish with a flush of eyeliner.

To create this electric blue vision, start by outlining the eyelid with a soft black line in kohl, loosely smudged out throughout the crease and along the lash line. Fill in the lines with a black eyeshadow blended subtly towards the centre, then with your blue eyeshadow, pat the colour down in the centre of the eyelid. Use a kohl eyeliner to run through the waterline and top eyelid to finish the look.

This is the perfect look to take you from day to night, and will most certainly make your eyes pop!

Use eyeliner to line along your lash line along the top and the bottom eyelid and frame the style. Finish with a touch of gold in the inner corner.
