As a trained make-up artist with years of online tutorials under her belt and a multi-million dollar beauty empire to her name, Huda Kattan is an expert when it comes to eye make-up – to put it mildly.

The founder of the phenomenally successful Huda Beauty is particularly excited to talk about eyeshadow following the recent launch of what she says is her favourite ever eye palette, called Mercury Retrograde.

“I know a lot of people have been commenting on the versatility of the palette – it really is very versatile,” Kattan says.

Whether you’re a long-time glasses-wearer who just got some new frames, or you recently got your first prescription lenses, it can be tricky to work out how to tailor your make-up to your specs.
