Green and blue eye shadow
If you think you left your blue eye shadow back in the \'70s then think again as it was a staple colour when it came to eye shadow on this season\'s runways. Designers loved everything from shimmery blues to bright greens. Try this intense Urban Decay green eye shadow that is designed to last and last. For a shot of matte blue shadow, we love this highly pigmented colour from Rimmel. The future\'s bright...

RMK spring summer collection
If you are simply not a blue person and your pale skin just isn\'t as forgiving then add a warmer colour to your eyes. Do as Aggy does here for Rodarte by keeping it simple with colour just on the edge of your lids rather than all over. This RMK palette is perfect for a subtle orange shadow that you can blend with the accompanying shadows for a more daring look right on trend. Or if you think light orange lips (yes this colour is light and airy, not dark and scary) are for you, then go for the RMK Irresistible lips in 24 translucent coral orange. You won\'t be disappointment with its shimmery tan-like finish.

Beauty trends futuristic Clinque
Lashes aren\'t as big or false as we saw last season so instead keep them black, thick and with a curl. Just because they don\'t have brow touching length doesn\'t mean they can\'t mean business. We love the new Clinique high impact curling mascara with its curved wand and short defined bristles. It will create perfect lashes with 24-hour staying power, they really do last and last...
