Frankfurt - The so-called smoky eye make-up style is popular again this season as a contrast to fine fashion designs.

But women should be aware that emphasizing the eyes with dark shades doesn't work well for everyone, said make-up artist Serdar Vural of Frankfurt.

Dark shades of make-up make dark eyes look smaller. Thus women with small eyes should avoid it. It's also important to take age into consideration. Older women look better when their eyes are freshened up with lighter shades, said Vural.

He also discourages young women from putting on smoky eye make-up because it can make them look like they are in a hurry to grow up. (dpa)
