Dark & smoky eyes
What: It's fair to say that dark eye makeup rarely goes out of favour. In 2008, subtle and natural makeup looks are a favourite for daytime wear while super-dramatic dark eyes can be brought out at night for after-hours glamour.
Seen on: The Autumn / Winter 2008 runways were littered with dark eyemakup in varying degrees of dramaticism; from smoky gray lids at Lagerfeld through to Yamamoto's Batman-inspired black shadow. Gucci teamed theirs with bedhair and subtle pink lips, while Viktor & Rolf went for classic glamour - eyes rimmed with dark shadow, and lips immaculately painted red.
How to wear it: Make your eyes the focal point if you go for this look; either pale pink or neutral lips help to do this. If you do go for strong colour on the lips, follow the classic glamour of Viktor & Rolf (top left) with immaculately painted red lips and dramatic dark eyeshadow. Colour is big in 2008 so experiment by adding colour into the mix - a touch of bronze (like at Versace, top right) or a hint of blue or purple can lighten up the dark.
