I love the smokey eyes look, and I think blondes look especially good with it. You don’t need to stick to smokey grey colours, a wide range of colours would look great as long as you stick to the key elements.

Firstly, sweep a neutral shade over the entire eye up to the brow bone. Then with whatever colour you decide to use get a lighter and a deeper shade of the same colour. Apply the lighter colour just over the eyelid, then add the deeper colour to the socket and the outer corner of the eyelid, and blend it in towards the inner corner.

Then using a small eyeliner brush apply the darker shade under the eye as well. Next apply a dark eyeliner - black’s good or a coloured eyeliners fine (it needs to be a deep shade though). Apply it over the eye, and also inside the eye. Then finish with a lashing of dark mascara.

These deep colours should really make your natural eye colour stand out. Jennifer Lopez loves this look and does it all the time with Browns, then nude lips. You can achieve this look using the following products.

1. Miss Barbados eyeshadow duo by Pout £13.00.

2. Really Black Quickliner for eyes from Clinique £11.00.

3. Bad Gal Lash by Benefit £14.50.
