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:

I have used a dark platinum gray eyeliner often in the past. It's a great alternative to the stronger tones of black or brown, especially on light-eyed, fair-skinned complexions like mine because it gives you the same definition without the harshness.

I don't know if I would try grey eyeliner but I really love grey nailpolish and eyeshadow. The Orly Nail polish looks perfect. I am not a big fan of Nicole Richie's makeup there, but I love the others. Especially Kate Hudson's, it looks like something I would try.
