This look is definitely a focus on the eyes and not for the faint hearted.

Keep the base light and fresh with a tinted moisturiser or light liquid base colour which will give the appearance of youthful dew.

Wear nude lipstick or clear gloss to keep the emphasis on the eye palette.

For a light rouge look use a rose colour on the cheeks followed by a lightening powder or cream.

For the eyes choose three tones of metallic colours which compliment each other. Using the darkest of the three colours trace the eye line along the lashes.

At the outer corner of the eye angle the powder out to the edge of the brow in a sleek sweeping motion.

Take the powder slightly out of the semi-socket of the eye gradually increasing in thickness to meet the brow again.

Place the mid-tone in the upper section of the semi-socket again sweeping up to the brow parallel to the first colour leaving a small space between each colour stripe.

Place the lightest tone in the upper corner of the socket in line with the corner of the nose/eye and brow.

Lightly blend the edges of colour and sleek with a luxurious black volume mascara to finish.

This is definitely for nightwear only although you could try using muted pastels for a day look.

Volume

When you're feeling lacklustre after the summer a great way to stop you getting the winter blues is to give your hair a bit of bounce.

Volume is big and back, swinging its way from the 1960s.

To get the look try tipping your head upside down and blowing from the root, dabbing volume mouse on the root will set it and create mega volume. When dry, run serum through the lengths and ends to smooth the hair shaft.

Medium to thick hair types suit this look as you have to have the hair there to start with. You don't want to use too much product, this will make your hair look greasy.

A big tip is to never blow dry your hair when it's wet so wait until it's 60 per cent dry first.

Frangible Lace

Kathryn Message, Manager of Topshop, Market Place

"The coming months are going to see a revival of the victorian lace. Except this time, it will be feature within the medievil-esque garments in our more formal collection.

"Lace should definitely be worn skin-tight or sheer - no draping!"

Amber Taylor, Manager of New Look, Crompton Place

"Lace deatailing is not a big hit in New Look at the moment. We are steering more towards the bright colours.

"Whether skin tight, draped, layered or sheer, for me a little bit of lace certainly doesn't go a long way.
