They say the eyes are the window to the soul?
And we would have to agree. If you?re anything like us and stalk runway makeup looks for months after they debut, you would have noticed that for the last year or so, eyes were a hot commodity. Gone are the days of a bold lip ? eye makeup is where it?s at.
Between glossy lids, colour blocking and smokey (coloured) eyes, a statement eye look is not only versatile but also wearable. But there?s a right and a wrong way to do it (wrong way = any matching eye makeup to your clothes à la 1990s Britney). Here, we speak to the makeup artist behind the incredible looks you’ll see below, Ashleigh Carpenter, and discover the different ways to pull off a statement eye.  
A classic, a favourite, a trusted source of eye drama, a glittery lid is no new look. But that doesn?t mean it isn?t a great way to add a little lift to an everyday face. For daytime we suggest opting for a subtle wash of sparkle across the lid, with the potential to build to a dramatic glitter look by the evening. Found inspo via the runways" Carpenter suggests to make it wearable, ?take an element that you love from the look and simplify the rest. If it?s a really strong eye, keep the skin fresh and natural.?
