RAMP up the glamour this party season with sultry smoky eyes.

This is a striking and timeless look that will make a statement this Christmas and New Year.

And Bella Vita, on Scotch Street, in Whitehaven, can create this look with the HD Brow range of make-up.

Worn by X Factor judges Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora, this collection brings glitz and glamour to the fore.

Smoky eyes have been described as the little black dress of make-up – it’s a classic look that never goes out of fashion.

And so I was delighted to be given a makeover which took me from my au naturel look to full-on party eyes.

Billie Fitzsimons, of Bella Vita, used a range of HD Brow products from concealer to fluid foundation, sculpt and glow contour palette.

To make my eyes pop Billie used different products including eye primer, and eye brow palette and eye shadow palette.

A Kajal eye liner was used to define my eyes and the look was finished off with false lashes from the Bombshell range.

This Bombshell range is most suited to those with a fair complexion, while the Foxy collection works well on those with medium skin and dark hair. The Vamp range is the darkest of the three collections for that extra dramatic look.

Billie says the Kajal eyeliner is particularly popular as “it’s easy for people to do themselves”.

The false eyelashes are a particular dramatic look. I’ve never attempted to use them as I’ve been afraid I may accidentally glue my eye lids together!

However, they seemed easy to apply and I’d definitely wear them again.

Compared to my usual, fairly minimal make-up look this is perfect for the party season. Add some sparkling jewellery and a killer outfit and you’re ready to hit the dance floor.

To do smoky eyes in your own home, Billie recommends using primer and then your eye shadow palette. You can use eye liner to define your eyes before finishing off with a lick of mascara either on your own lashes or false ones.

Billie’s top tip for any make-up look is to use primer. It helps make up “to stay on and look flawless”.

She is inviting people to pop in to Bella Vita to get free colour matching and free foundation samples.

Why not try out the HD Brows. They can be as subtle or dramatic as you want them to be.
