Rouge Hydrabase in Fantastic Plum, £17.50 by Chanel. For stockists call 020 7493 3836.
Dark, vampy, almost blood stained lips will be a signature look for winter. Avoid hard outlines and apply colour to the middle of lips, smudging outwards. Blot the colour on with your finger for the subtlest version of the look.
Bronze, copper and gold are the look du jour for eyes this season. This is a good way to update your smoky eye look.

Masterpiece Glide and Define Liquid Eyeliner, £6.99 by Max Factor
Black Magic is one of our favourite new looks this winter. It's a softer, prettier version of goth and just a little bit witch inspired (as seen on Luella's catwalk). Have fun with liquid liner, experimenting with different shapes under and above the eye.

Hydro Finish, £15.95 by Sassoon
From the hi-shine, bowl cut seen on YSL's catwalk, to sleek updos at Zac Posen, hair styles are high maintenance this season and a great hair serum is your new best friend.
Creme de la Mer's luxe Hydrating Infusion is lighter (and far less sticky) than other serums and when applied before moisturising, gives winter skin an extra boost.

Eyeshadow Quad, £27.50 by Givenchy
Just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't play with colour. This eye quad from Givenchy has charcoal, navy and a deep purple so you can work in different shades to your look.
Pack away those bright nail polishes, this season you have three choices dark berry, granite or coffee. We love this YSL polish, which will take you from day-to-night, autumn-to-spring.
