London, Dec 29 (IANS) American designer Tom Ford says make-up is a key accessory as it helps in transforming outfits.

‘Having worked with the best make-up artists and photographers, I know how make-up can transform,’ femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 50-year-old as saying. ‘If you take Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and change the hair and make-up, you can make it look like the 20s or the 90s. Make-up is a key accessory.’

Right now Ford prefers smoky eye.

‘I like a dramatic, smoky eye. Rim it with a darker shade, then apply lighter shades on the lid and blend as you move up. The key is to mix smoky tones in, so it doesn’t look too 60s,’ he said.
