Backstage at Versace for H&M

I loved the make-up look at the Versace for H&M Fashion show which took place in New York a couple of weeks ago.

Channeling the young Donatella, models Lindsey Wixson, Abbey Lee and my new girl crush Daphne Groeneveld were made up with smokey winged eyes and glowing skin. Nails were painted a deep aubergine colour for a glam rock and roll look.

The final look keyed by make-up artist Tom Pecheux


Want to recreate the look at home for this year's party season?

1.Firstly, don't freak everyone out and bleach your eyebrows. As the main focus is on the eyes simply brush through the brows to keep them neat.

2.Taking a black eyeshadow, try 'Carbon' by Mac sweep across the eyelids starting from the inner corner and take this out just above the socket line. Blend as far out as you feel comfortable with, I would suggest stopping just where your eyebrows end.

3.Apply a highly pigmented silver over the top - apply above the lash line to just below the crease and blend out.
Smudge a small amount of Vaseline or gloss on top of the silver to increase the contrast between the matte black shadow and the silver.

4.Take the black eyeshadow just under the lower lashline and line your waterline with a black eyeliner, try 'Smoulder' by Mac. Finish with lashings of black mascara to define the eye or pop on your favourite eyelashes for extra glamour.

5.I would suggest keeping the rest of your make-up quite low key, a slick of clear gloss or a matte nude lipstick like 'Velvet Teddy' by Mac should do the trick.

Et voila!
