Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect eyeshadow - Beauty Buy of the Day, Marie Claire

£7.99

If you've often wondered how to create that sultry smoky lid effect but worry that you'll end up looking as though you've been given a black eye, then never fear: Max Factor is here...

Their new dual-ended eyeshadow contains two crayon-like tips in complimenting velvet textured, metallic shades - designed to make recreating one of the catwalk's trickiest beauty looks easier than ever before.

Launching in six different colour combos, there's a duo to suit any taste or colouring - featuring everything from the darkest charcoals, to deep plums and soft beiges.

Simply apply the lighter-hued round-end tip first, sweeping across your eyelid, and then blend with the second, darker shade - which has a pointed tip to help define the eye.

No brushes required!
