Oh, hello September, thank goodness you’re here, for the atmosphere of ‘fresh starts’a new season brings. I like you September, still surprising us with warmth, but giving us a stillness, too, enhancing our gratitude. It may be the last month we can sit on the ground outside for a whole afternoon.

I want to experiment with green eyes to express my excitement at a new harvest. I’m going to take note from fellow comrade Caitlin Moran, who once told me she enjoys thinking how beautiful a puffin looks when doing her make-up. I thought this approach had such a lovely sentiment.

I’ve scoured high and low for a shade that, I think, matches the impending autumn and found this delightful mossy green from H&M called ‘Mesmerise Me’. There are lots of different tones out there, though, so find the one that speaks to you, be bold and give yourself nature-inspired green eyes.
