While some girls out there are using special contacts to make their eyes look huge, there are a few makeup tricks that'll get the job done, too. Let's use this picture of The City's Roxy Olin as an example. She's got three eye-opening things going on here.

1) Her liner on her bottom lids is just below her eyelashes (as opposed to on the inner rim), which makes the whites of eyes look like they dip down lower. I'd actually make the gap a little smaller myself--I think Roxy is moving past doe and bordering on deer-in-headlights here. But it's really easy to see the technique on her at least. And she might have a little peach liner going on there as well, but it's hard to say.

2) Her eyebrows have been brushed up and out slightly (like they were at the Yigal Azrouel runway show). This makes your eyes look more awake. Don't believe me? Whip out a mirror and try it now.

3) She's got a light shadow dotted in her inner corners (you can see it better on her right eye than you can on the left). As we've mentioned before, this is a must for making your eyes look bright and wide-open.

Yay! After the perfect fashion synergy we experienced on hearing the news that Jean Paul Gaultier is to design a range of lingerie for La Perla, we nodded our heads very approvingly when this popped through on the wire. The very dashing and debonair Mr John Galliano is to launch a range on scarves and hats. Brilliant! His Charlie Chaplinesque menswear offering a week ago had us swooning, and he accepted applause for his bloomingly beautiful couture show yesterday wearing a boater style hat and tulle veil, by his long term collaborator, rad hatter Stephen Jones.

Galliano is a crucial figure in the resurgence of modern millinery – without actually being a hat maker himself, both his eponymous label - and to an even greater degree his collections for Christian Dior - have been making hats more fashionable for years. Just think of the flights of fancy like the tulip headgear in his couture show yesterday, as well as the head-confections of his Dior collections gone by, all created for him by Londoner Stephen Jones (trivia fans will know that John was still a fashion student at Central Saint Martins when he originally approached Stephen while he was out clubbing in Soho, and asked if he would make him some hats).
