Some of the best make up looks showcased on this season’s runways come in the shape of geometric eyes.  The top name designer Paul Smith and Sinha Stanic eyes certainly showed us how to get a little creative when it comes to futuristic look make up.

Paul Smith’s models wore geometric looks with an edge of cyber chic style, a fifties edge was also thrown into the mix in order to create a look that demands attention!  Finish with a little feline liner for that seductive cat like edge.

Yohji Yamamoto went for a new take on the smoky eye of the past and exaggerated the look to the maximum by adding a little heavy liner to the eyes, this ran along the inside of the eye in order to define and style the look.  The liner was continued all the way along to the brow and finished by using the finger to smudge the edges in order to soften the whole ensemble.

Luella as always went for a little more of a statement and opted for a show stopping style by curving the eyeliner under the eyes in order to create a somewhat different and striking look.

You can try anyone of the above looks in standard black shades or alternatively work a little bold colour into the mix if you are feeling adventurous!

The Dukan diet first came to our attention back in April, it has now however reached a global status and in turn has converted over five million woman!

The diet is by no means a fad and has been described instead as a way of life.  It follows a similar routine to that of the Atkins diet and when embarking on the Dukan diet, the first stage requires the dieter to eat protein only.  However unlike the Atkins diet all the protein has to be lean, this means that under means are you to indulge in streaky bacon or fatty foods such as beef burgers.

The first phase has been titled the Attack phase and requires the dieter to eat nothing but protein and non-fat dairy produce.  This may sound a little boring but the results are fantastic, you can in fact expect to lose up to 2 lbs a day.  Depending on how much you want to lose depends on how long you should stick to this part of the diet.  Introduce chicken, eggs, fish and cottage cheese as the main essentials to this part of the diet, on top of this you must also indulge in a portion of oat bran everyday.

The next step is the Cruise Phase and this involves a little stamina, as you must introduce a series of vegetable to the diet.  For example one day should be protein and the next day should be a mixture of both protein and vegetables.

Once you have reached your goal weight this is when the Consolidation Phase takes action and allows the dieter to add a little fruit to their diet, however this must be added gradually and in a slow manner.

Once your exact goal weight has been reached you can eat anything you desire, just make sure you have one protein only day every week!
