The illuminating update your eye makeup needs

If you want brighter-looking eyes, these gilded shades are for you. Their creamy texture glides onto lids for a smudge-proof, illuminating finish you’ll quickly become addicted to.

This stunning burgundy crème shadow will bring a sophisticated finish to your makeup look. It’s highly pigmented and has a lovely satin finish that looks and feels high-end.

This collection of crème eyeshadows comes in 12 shades to suit every eye makeup look. It’s a great budget-friendly buy that doesn’t skimp on the colour or metallic sheen.

This luxe Dior formula feels weightless on your lids. The gel-foam texture can be built to the ideal finish – use your fingers for a subtle wash of colour or the included smudging applicator for a richer pigment.

These high-impact eyeshadows are crease-proof, waterproof and will stay in place all day long. They also have the added benefit of anti-ageing silk extract in the formula for younger-looking eyes.

This cream-to-powder formula is the perfect way to ease yourself into the metallic eye trend. The shimmer is ever so subtle and the greige colour is ideal for everyday wear.

This beautiful metallic hue is a mix of taupe and silver that casts a hint of mauve whenever the sun catches your eye. The formula is creamy and hydrating, and is a breeze to blend.

As mesmerising on your eyes as it looks in the pot, this cream shadow will give your lids a rich pop of colour. Top tip: Sweep it all over your lids or simply wear it along the upper lash line as eyeliner for an elegant evening look.

Your smoky eye look has never looked so good. Smudge this pot of glistening black eyeshadow along your lash line (both top and bottom)…and all over your lid if you dare!
