Getting those smouldering, smoky look doesn’t have to involve a marathon make-up session if you can master a few surefire shortcuts.

First off, judiciously deploy Clarins’ Instant Poreless Pore-Blurring Matifying Primer to create a smooth canvas, then add Tom Ford’s Glow Tone Up Foundation SPF 40/PA++++ Hydrating Cushion Compact, a genuinely one-stop solution for sun-blocking and moisturising your skin. For a pink glow on your cheeks, reach for Charlotte Tilbury’s The Pillow Talk Blusher Swish & Glow, before moving on to the eyes, the obvious centrepieces of this particular smoky look.

Here, you can choose from a range of eyeliners – YSL’s Couture Eyeliner N ̊11 or RMK’s Soft Fine Eye Pencil EX-01 Black or Chanel’s Stylo Ombre et Contour Blue Nuit. Whichever you opt for, enhance the smoky look by adding eye-shadow from the darker shades of Chanel’s Les 9 Ombres – Edition N ̊2 Quintessence. Next, apply a generous veneer of Dolce & Gabbana’s Passioneyes Mascara before shaping the eyebrows with The Brow Liner. Sign off with a pretty pout, ideally courtesy of Giorgio Armani’s Lip Freeze N ̊407 Ruby.
