Whilst the on trend look for day this spring is innocent, soft and feminine, the evening takes on a whole new persona.

The rock chick spans broad connotations of metallic, leather, and loudness. Use this to inspire your evening makeup. It should be reflective and bold. This was seen at shows including Giorgio Armani and Roberto Cavalli.

The look can be achieved to varied extents depending on your application, choice of colour and intensity of shine.

A great option is to choose a cream eye shadow that will act as a base, helping to set your eye shadow and prevent creasing. Many brands sell cream eye shadows, such as Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Cream Shadow, or MAC's Paint Pots. If you want to stay on trend and not splash out too much Topshop's makeup line have fashionable colours that won't break the bank.

Cream eye shadow can be worn alone or enhanced using some powder eye shadow with glitter. This will really catch the light and add glamour to your look. If you really want to feel luxurious some of the most dazzling eye shadows out there right now can be found in Tom Ford's new makeup line.

Many people like to use black liner in the waterline, however this can sometimes close up the eye entirely. To avoid this choose a brown eyeliner instead as this won't appear as harsh.

Your hair can simply follow on from your daytime relaxed and pretty look. It should be natural, unkempt yet pretty at the same time. If you want to notch it up a level you could backcomb a few strands and spray.
