Beauty News – Luscious Plum Eyeliner and Shadows and the Best Brush for Turning Eye Shadows and Pencils into Eyeliner.

There’s a moment when the beauty news is all about blue – usually at the start at summer, and then suddenly the mood (and the weather) changes and the only colour that works is luscious, deep, smokey plum for eyeliners and shadows.  Not purple, you understand, although some palettes can include a colour that veers that way, but delicious black/red plum.



I’m not one of those who favours loads of eye shadow, in fact I’m deeply against it as it always looks unnatural and I think it’s best left to those of a certain age, ie much younger than me and probably around my daughter’s age, however I can be tempted by a hint of colour to add depth, and a wonderfully deep eyeliner and a dash of mascara usually does the trick.



In any case, whatever you do, unless you’re about to walk the red carpet, down the catwalk or appear on stage it’s important to wear what works for you and keep it natural.  It’s all too easy to peruse the glossies and then fall into fashion victim mode where clothes, accessories or cosmetics are concerned.  As an avid collector of all three I still try to stick to my own rules, no matter how much I’m tempted to make a break for it and try something totally new.



Anyway, enough of that, there are plums just waiting to be plucked out there – take your pick.
