The tester: Lucy Partington, beauty editor
The eye colour: Brown
The palette and pencil: Super Blue

Lucy says: “My brown eyes aren’t something that ever really get compliments — I feel like they’re an alright-kind-of-colour but they don’t especially stand out as much as blue or green eyes so I was excited about the prospect of amping them up.

“I followed the video on Charlotte Tilbury’s website and started by lining my upper lid with the bright metallic blue crayon, and then I used all four shades in the palette. I blended both gold shades all over my lids and then smoked the matte blue shade — which was much darker than I thought it would be — up and out. I finished with a pop of metallic blue in the middle.

“I won’t lie, I don’t think my eyes looked any brighter or more intense than before, but my make-up-obsessed friend did notice a slight difference, which I’ll take as a win. If nothing else this is the perfect excuse to play with colour and for that alone, I’m into it.”
