This year's look for eyes

You're in luck: turquoise and greens on the eyes are a key look this spring. At Stella McCartney deep emerald green was applied as a slick of liner across the lids, to achieve an effortlessly pretty flash of colour. At Cacharel the look was taken a step further, with a deeper, stronger shade of green applied as a more opaque 'liquid liner' that was kicked out at the sides, 1950's style. Indeed, winged eyeliner was a strong trend elsewhere, with Bardot as the obvious influence behind the look at Marc Jacobs, where the black liquid liner looked fresh and modern when set on an otherwise clean face.

Other key colours to experiment with are warm tones of orange and melon, especially if your skin is olive-toned or tanned. You might not want to sport anything so strong as the beautiful sunset effect washes of gold with luminous pink on the runway at Celine, but a citrus-y yellow-gold cream or a mat apricot on the lids will bring out the golden tones of the complexion.
