Get the Look - Glam Grunge

Glam Grunge

Spring or summer, autumn or winter smoky eyes and red lips work all year round. On the S/S catwalks for 2011 there was a new twist on this classic look with eye colour worn in graphic blocks and lips smudged. Rimmel London make-up artist Sonia Deveney shows us how to get the look.


Step 1

EYE SHADOW: Pat on a gun-metal grey over the eye lid with flat brush from the lash line up to the crease. “Patting on the colour repeatedly creates a strong depth of colour,” says Sonia. We used Rimmel London Glam’ Eyes Mono Eye Shadow in Night Jewel.

Step 2

EYE DEFINITION: To contour the eye sweep a black eye shadow in a 'C' shape from the outer corner of the eye across the crease. “This really makes the eyes smoulder,” says Sonia. We used Rimmel London Glam’Eyes Mono Eye Shadow in Jet Black.

Step 3

LINER AND LASHES: “A strong look like this needs lashing of mascara to make the eyes pop,” says Sonia. We used Rimmel London Lash Accelerator. Line the whole eye with black eye liner - Rimmel London Kohl Eye Liner Pencil in Black is perfect. “Smudge the liner into the roots of the lashes and blend for a smoky effect.”

Step 4

LIPS: “I love this look with a nude lip but if you’re feeling daring, add a dark blackcurrant stain. Pat on the colour with your fingers or with a brush and work it into the lips,” says Sonia. You can’t go wrong with Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Amethyst Shimmer.
