With the Fifty Shades Darker cinema release just around the corner, we started to think about how we'd like to wear our shades of grey. This season, it's all about gunmetal grey eyes.
We love a good smoky eye, so are already on board with the gorgeous grey eyeshadow looks we've been spotting left, right and centre. But how do you wear these chic new shades?
"Gunmetal grey shades work well brushed over the whole eyelid area," says makeup artist Morag Ross.
She suggests pairing your shadow of choice "with black liquid eyeliner and gel pencil on the tight line and water line to create a wonderful smokey eye with a pop of reflective light." This is an especially stunning look for those of us with blue eyes.
We're not the only ones who've been loving gunmetal grey lately. Check out our celebrity inspiration:
Fifty Shades star Dakota Johnson loves a grey wash over the eyes, along with A-listers like Olivia Palermo, Jennifer Lawrence and SJP.
Our favourite grey shadows have a silvery metallic twinge, and are either deeper in shade or super buildable.
