Give your eyes a whoosh

Eye gloss is a thing this season. Rather than the powdery elegant “done” look we’ve become used to, this is a far wilder take on eye colour, with a number of brands bringing out special products that allow you to whoosh it on with a handy little applicator. Failing that, there’s always your tub of lip salve, which allows you to go as subtle (a gentle wash of beige, as seen here at Esteban Cortazar) or as bold as you like.
