Makeup trend: Downtown cool

The smoky eye heats up the night with a sweep of seductive metallic shadows.

Eyes: Start with a sheer sweep of black eyeshadow on your lids — this will create depth when you layer a colour overtop. Use a brush to cover your entire lid and lower lash line with a deep pigmented shadow (we went for peacock green) . Blend the colour out to create a smoky effect. Apply a small amount of mascara.

Lips: Dab a touch of concealer on your lips to neutralize any natural colour, or go for a nude gloss or lipstick.

Clockwise: Pixi endless silky eye pen in emerald gold, $15, Sonia Kashuk sine luxe sheer lip colour in sheer seashell, $11, Maybelline New York color tattoo pure pigments eyeshadow in never fade jade, $7, Pixi Fairy light solo eyeshadow in gilded olive, $15, Target.

New take on the ballet bun: Pull all but the front section of your hair back into a messy bun. Twist the loose pieces and bobby pin them back to create volume at the crown and cover the hair elastic. Let some pieces fall out — go sleek or tousled!
