Warmer days will make way for lighter foundation, subtle spring shades and waterproof mascara. And if Kate Nash's recent make-up look in the video for new single 'Doo Wah Do' is anything to go by, coral is back!

Fed up of this cold, wet weather? Cheer yourself up by experimenting with the new 'smoky eye' with a touch of purple - set to become the look for Spring / Summer 2010.

As seen on the Versace, Christian Dior and Nicole Farhi Spring / Summer 2010 catwalks, purple is back with a vengeance in a more traditional manner that will suit every face and age.

Think of the purple haze as a traditional smoky eye with a hint of soft purple shadow such as our  Studio Single Eyeshadow in Amethyst swept over smoky lids creating pure glamour.

One celebrity who’s ahead of the game is home grown talent Leona Lewis who rocked purple haze eyes during the Golden Globes Awards matching her amazing Roberto Cavalli gown.

But remember, if you’re putting the focus on one feature on the face then keep the opposite neutral so not to look ‘overdone’. In this case keep lips bare ensuring a graceful appearance while focusing all attention on the purple haze eyes.

What e.l.f. products do you use to create the perfect perfect smoky eye?

The leaves are starting to fall; it’s getting darker when we go to and from work, college or school. Autumn is upon us and after having nearly no summer whatsoever we’re ready to jump into autumn and see what we’ll be wearing on our faces for the next six months.
