Eyes

Smoky, natural or graphic: enhance your eyes with our expert tips, step-by-step tutorials and favourite mascara and palette picks.

Eye makeup depends less on products than on eye shape. A technique that flatters a mobile lid does nothing on hooded or crease-free eyes — which is why we dedicate guides to hooded eyes and to monolids.

To start, two steps are enough: a simple palette, chosen with our guide to beginner eyeshadow palettes, then a first smoky eye once the basics feel easy. You'll also find our mascara comparisons, brow advice and the season's color trends here.
