Disco eyes

model's face next to rainbow eye shadows
Making eyes: go for the bird of paradise look with the latest rainbow colours.

Think leopard print and birds of paradise, and tinted photos of discos in the 70s. Then, open your eyes. This is the look MAC’s Polly Osmond chose for Christian Siriano’s A/W show – they wanted the girls to look like they were in the jungle, so they gave their skin a wet-look finish. Sweat. Do you see? A little goes a long way when recreating this look down the Edgware Road, though. Instead of red shadow as a base, go for a rusty brown, and suggest those birds of paradise with the tiniest dab of turquoise or mustard.
