gucci model glam rock makeup tips
There was something very dark on this season\'s catwalks and we\'re not talking about the clothes. From Gucci\'s runway to Lanvin\'s catwalk queens, one thing was certain: where eyes are concerned, black is back.
\r\n\r\n
In a continuation from spring\'s Winehouse-esque winged eye, autumn/winter\'s eye is heavily rimmed with black kohl, liner or cream and in a rockier version of the romantic goth beauty trend, this look is seriously sexy.
\r\n\r\n
Here\'s how to get the look...
Cream Eyeshadow
Rimmel,Eye shadow
rimmel colour mousse eyeshadow
While at Balenciaga, eye\'s were lined in a precise, abstract shape that was a bit Robo-Cleopatra, the look at Gucci was softer and sexier. Get the look with a cream eyeshadow. We love this eyeshadow from Rimmel. Don\'t muck around using your fingers - you\'ll just make a mess, A colour this dark needs precision and that means brushes. Use a small, flat brush to apply the colour over your lids, stopping just above the crease, then use a cotton bud to smudge the line. Smudging = softly sexy. Apply a thin line beneath your lower lashes and smudge that too.

Lip balm,Vaseline

On the eyes. You heard us. Yes, it will crease and look a bit like you\'ve slept in your make-up, but that\'s the beauty of the look. Do you think real die-hard rock chicks stop to take off their make-up? Of course not.
\r\n\r\n
Once the cream eyeshadow has set, use your finger to dab a little clear gloss onto the centre of the lid and out to the edges.

Flawless Face
Mineral foundation,Max Factor

If your eyes are going to look messy, beauty law dictates that the rest of your face be flawless. Backstage at Gucci, every make-up artist in sight was busy dusting faces with Max Factor\'s new mineral foundation. Mineral foundations have the benefit of giving you as little or as much coverage as you want by simply building the colour. Use a Kabuki brush over your face, then a smaller brush to build up coverage and conceal and dark circles and blemishes.

Bourjois,Mascara

For this look, more is more when is comes to your eyes. Use a volumising mascara like this one from Bourjois and wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes to create volume. And don\'t stop at one coat. Three should just about do it. A coat on your lower lashes finishes the look.

Blusher,Nars

Like we said, this look is not goth, so do put a little colour on your cheeks. You don\'t want to look like a corpse. Opt for the softest petal pink and sweep it across your cheek bones up into your hairline.
