Few icons in history have channelled pure siren appeal like Brigitte Bardot. With her bold sexy eye make-up, unkept bed hair and smoldering pout – men adore her while women around the world aspire to emulate her beauty.

At Versace the look was toned down while at Blumarine the eyes took a turn on the dramatic side.

You too can capture some of the essence of Bardot with minimal fuss. Use black eyeliner that is blended out at the corner of the eye. Add mascara; make it heavier around the outer eye.
