Smoky-grey smudgy raccoon eyes are so out this season, and the sexiest alternative is to go molten on eyes like they did at Gucci, with lip and cheek shades following suit Just to warn you that a little of this intensely pigmented powder goes a long way. When mixed with the LipGlass Lip Gloss it resembles molten copper and, importantly, doesn't budge once it's on. Apply it to lips, cheeks and especially on the eyes, where you can really crank up the drama.
