TREND: DONKEY EYESHADOW
I have always wanted to describe that super-wearable slubby brown eyeshadow colour (see below right) as donkey, and here's my chance. The eye make-up from the Vicktor & Rolf ready-to-wear show in Paris 2014 is the perfect execution of this eminently wearable colour. This hue is universally flattering and is great worn on its own, or as a primer/base for building other colours.

A final, quick-dry spritz of SolaSpeed Spray provides the perfect finish to a manicure. I've become addicted to the marzipan scent of this miracle spray, which speeds drying time and moisturises with a blend of jojoba, almond oils and vitamin E. CND SolarSpeed Spray, $42, cndshop.com.au.

What is the easiest way to apply eyeliner?
