**Revlon Colorstay 16 Hour Eyeshadow in Precocious $31.95
Why it’s good: It offers either a neutral or coloured look.

Why it’s good: All you need to create a classic smoky eye in one palette.
How to wear it: Use the lighter shade as a base, the mid grey on the lid and the darker shimmery grey in the crease. Then wet a brush and apply the dark, matte grey as an eyeliner
**SHIMMER
**Maybelline NY Eyeshadow Quad in Taupe Temptress $15.99
Why it’s good: Fun, shimmery shades at a fantastic price.
How to wear it: Apply one of the berry shades over the lid and a little of the dark lilac in the crease of the eye. Then use a sheer wash of the white above it as a highlighter.
**EYE BRIGHTENER
**Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Eyeshadow Duo in Classic Khaki $69
Why it’s good: Lasting, vitamin-enriched colour in a formula that’s been designed to brighten and lift the look of eyes.
How to wear it: Sweep the golden shade over the entire lid and into the crease of the eye to create a base. Then, using a short, slanted brush, use the khaki shade to line the upper lashes, blending the line slightly, and also brush the khaki over the lower lashes.
**EYE TIPS
If you wear glasses:** Keep eyeshadow minimal. Dust a light neutral shade on the lids, line the top lash line and use mascara on the top lashes only.
If your lids are crepey: Steer clear of shimmery colour and go for soft mattes and satins instead.
If your lids are droopy: Line right round the eye with a dark powder shadow. The upper line should be thicker and both should meet at the outer corner of the eye
