Bobbi Brown’s cream-eyeshadow sticks really couldn’t be easier to apply and they come with serious staying power. I love this subtle burnished-gold colour, which gives warmth and just a hint of metallic sheen. Gently draw across your eyelids then smudge with your finger. I also run it along my lower lash line to frame my eye. 

You can rely on Pat McGrath to create a palette where every single shade is highly wearable and can be used on its own or blended with the others. This range of rosy hues is flattering and a little unexpected, which gives a contemporary beauty look. Go subtle with a sweep of gold then turn it up with deep jewel tones.
