This season’s smoky, sultry eye make-up will be easily recreated with Laura Mercier’s new Black Tie make-up collection. Inspired by Hollywood glamour of old, eye colours are crease-resistant, nail colours come in two-tone black pearl and teal and lip glosses are perfect for adding that all-important deluxe finishing touch. Best of all, the range also features faux eyelashes for that classic Hollywood look. From £18, at Lauramercier.com and Spacenk.co.uk from November.

I don’t know about you but we girls at StyleJunkee would LOVE longer eyelashes. Fiddling about with eyelash curlers every day to try and achieve the illusion of length and curl is just plain irritating… But the answer, it seems, may be just around the corner. A drug developed to treat glaucoma, which was found to have a lash-lengthening side effect, has been granted the license for cosmetic use and could be on sale in the UK next year. Apparently Latisse (which is made by Allergan - the same company that makes Botox) makes lashes thicker and darker in a matter of days. Watch this space for more info as we get it.

This season’s jewellery is all about making a statement and the larger the better. Oversized necklaces should be paired with chunky chunky bracelets.
