At the Marni show Pat McGrath painted on peaked blocks of eye colour, switching between sapphire, turquoise and emerald shadow. The clatter could be heard in Milan, as beauty bloggers sped to their laptops to experiment with oceanic shades. To get started with green, go for a darker emerald on paler skin, and bright, bold, leafy colours on darker lids.

Pen pals

Tooty fruity

We urge you to seek out Jo Loves’ glorious new body sprays. Choose from fig, vetiver, tuberose or, our favourite, grapefruit – a citric scent that lingers all day. £40, joloves.com

Soft as silk

Olaplex was the biggest development in hair technology for years and it has inspired a number of successors, from L’Oréal Professionnel’s Smartbond to Superdrug’s PurePlex. The one that leaves your hair silkiest is INNOluxe. London’s Not Another Salon offers the treatment for £30.
