A/W 2012/13 Trends - Brown Smokey Eye

The black smokey eye is pretty much a staple for Autumn and Winter, but this year black kohl takes a backseat and brown becomes the center of a attention. Seen at Burberry, Blumarine, and Givenchy.




As per usual, Pat McGrath (love her) was ubiquitous during the A/W 2012 collections. At Givenchy, her take on the brown smokey eye was delicious and rich.  To achieve this eye look I recommend using bronze and chocolate colours such as:

• Bobbie Brown  Cream Shadow - Beach Bronze
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow- Smog
• MAC Eye Pencil - Coffee
• Bourjois Metallic Eyeliner - 52 Brun Inoxydable
• MAC Eyeshadow - Handwritten
• MAC Eyeshadow - Brun

At Burberry, head Makeup Artist, Wendy Rowe created a beautiful country-meets-city chic. It is an an elegant wearable look for day or night. It definitely aligns with the Burberry aesthetic.  To re-create this smokey look, use colours that are taupe and more cooler medium browns, such as:

• Maybelline Color Tattoo - Tough as Taupe
• MAC Eyeshadow - Concrete
• MAC Eyeshadow - Copperplate
• MAC Eyeliner - Coffee

I will be posting pictures and filming videos regarding how to make these runway trends work for real life.
