Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday June 26, 2012

With all the buzz around the hot new book series Fifty Shades Of Grey, we're predicating right now that grey becomes the 'it colour' of the season. It's elegant, flattering on almost everyone and can easily be done both for a night out and day at the office.

Whether you're looking for an intense shadow to create a smoky eye or a liner to give some definition, why not try it out in a grey! Not convinced? Check out how these celebs pull off tones of grey:
