Just when it seems make-up artists had exhausted every incarnation of the smoky eye, along comes Clint Fernandes. "Rather than applying dark shadow in the outer corners, crease and lower lid," he said, "I apply gold dust over the eyes, highlight it with kohl and finish the look with mascara. It creates the illusion of a smoky eye, but it's softer." However, this look does not work for everyone; if your eyes are bulgy or deep set, it is unadvisable to do smoky eyes.

In keeping with the show's Italian spirit, Fernandes pared down his make-up arsenal. "Keep the cheeks rosy pink and wear a shade of pink on the lips depending on your skin tone; dark vibrant pinks work wonders for deep skin tones while the light complexioned can opt for soft baby pink," is his advice.
