Milan Fall 2008 Beauty Preview

If the beauty at the Fall 2008 London shows focused on the lips, Milan was all about the eyes. The models frequently sported some serious eye makeup. Smokey black eyes was a staple, of course, but some interesting variations were shown as well.

Pat McGrath created gorgeous golden eyes at Versace. Her secret was layering on bronze and gold shadows and finishing the look with extra long false lashes.

Pat McGrath was also the artist behind the smokey eyes at Gucci. She used Max Factor's Star-studded Black shadow with Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream on top for smudgy, glossy black eyes.

Smokey gray-brown eyes and nude lips added an air of sophistication to the Giorgio Armani. The eyes were done up but didn't take away from the rest of the fresh, clean face of models.

Bottega Veneta offered up a pretty twist on the classic cat eye by using lavender instead of black liner.

Beauty at Alberta Ferretti went back to the Sixties with smokey charcoal eyes, peachy lips and sideswept hair that was heavily teased at the crown.
