As soon as I laid eyes on the new Peony & Python palette from Bobbi Brown, I knew I'd found my perfect eyeshadow compact for the new season.

A gorgeous mix of purples, lilacs and greys that were inspired by Bobbi Brown's favourite flower, peonies. It comes with six beautiful eyeshadows, two brushes and is packaged in a Peony & Python case designed exclusively by fashion favorite Tibi.

It's the perfect mix between girly and edgy. I'll be able to wear it in the day appplying the feminine Opal, Lavender Metallic and Cool Ivory while come evening I can simply apply the Cobra Shimmer, Plum Orchid or Eclipse for a gorgeous smoky eye.

Price: £38.00

I’m not usually one for sugary pastel colours, but when I saw the delicious sorbet shades splashed across the models eyes of Erdem, Mulberry and Prada for summer, I simply can’t resist.

Lilac, pistachio, pale blue and lemon are the perfect way to make a modern statement and it is gorgeous look for a summer party or wedding.

Simpy sweep the shadow across your eye from the inner corner across the lid. Keep the rest of your make-up simple and forgo mascara for a soft look.

Be inspired by the seventies and give your eyes a disco makeover as seen on the SS 11 catwalks.

One of the most glamourous looks to emerge was the use of glitter seen at Giles Deacon and Louis Vuitton.

This fun and decadent look is actually far more wearable than one might think, with glitter in copper and gold featuring on eyes, lips and nails.

Try glittered eye make-up for a night out like these ones from Barry M, glitter pots which are affordable and come in a range of pigments. Or, for a more subtle take on the trend, try Urban Decay's glitter liners. 

Barry M Glitter Dust - £4.59 available from www.asos.com or www.superdrug.com

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with your make-up look and try a bit of bright colour as showcased on the S/S catwalks.

For a wearable take on the trend, sweep the colour across the eye socket or as close to the lash line as possible, as seen at Dior and Derek Lam. Max Factor’s Max Effect Dip In Eye Shadows are perfect for recreating this look as it gives your eyes a shot of intense, vibrant colour.

They come in eight bold, modern colours ranging from green and purple to blue and pink. This is a look I’ll definitely be trying this summer.

Price: £5.99 each
