The eyes have it, says elite make-up artist Shehla Shaikh

The eyes have it, says elite make-up artist Shehla Shaikh

Once upon a time the brow was an afterthought when you did your make up.

But finally we’ve recognised the ability they have to enhance your eyes and define your face. Think full, luscious, and thick – the ‘undone eye’.

Over plucked? No problem. The beauty industry has caught up with the trend — and there are high-performing products on the market.

Forget your dash of eye pencil. The new brow gels, in particular, are top notch for filling in. They create a natural effect, and you can build the coverage with a brush.

The colour range is meeting demands too, with variations to match most complexions. As for the lashes, Lancome’s latest mascara, Hynose Volume-a-porter, is a big talking point with beauty editors, including

our own.

Shehla Shaikh’s top tips? Good make up is all about skincare.

For that hydrated look she cleanses with the Clarisonic, and insists on a serum for a base glow.

The good news? You can still have fun with this low-key look, brights still apply.
