Raven Beauty:

A touch of theatre. A flight of fantasy. This party season, black is going from strength to strength as the most imaginative and versatile shade. Be bold. Be daring. Never be without it. Just as the LBD is indispensable in your wardrobe, so is the colour black in your make up bag. Never more so than now. Coming out of the shadows at many Autumn/Winter shows, there was simply no escaping its haunting, sometimes haughty presence. Graphic and smudgy shapes in ebony took centre stage at Missoni and Saint Laurent while, at Roberto Cavalli and Tom Ford, smoky eyes were less grunge, more glam, with a distinct wing shape. The evolution of eyeliner of eyeliner continued at Rag & Bone, with a flick that flew higher than the norm, while Emilio Pucci and Erdem embraced the complete of the upper and lower water line, finely traced in kohl. Even brows took a heavy stroke of charcoal that gave the face a whole new balance. For those in full theatrical flow, try a touch on lips, too.
