Are you ready to experiment with the mean and moody look? 'Many of us wear less make-up in the summer due to the hot weather, so autumn is the perfect time to try out bolder, darker colours in preparation for the "smoky eye" look for Christmas,' says beauty expert France Baudet (www.cannellebeaute.com). 'As the days grow darker, get confident with navy, greys and charcoals - and practise achieving the new season's glamour.' Want another tip? Try sweeping burgundy across your lids to add a fiery touch to smoky eyes.
