Nicky Hilton's new makeup inspired by Elizabeth Taylor

Hotel heiress Nicky Hilton has created a range of cat eye kits that are themed around her three favourite cities -- New York, Los Angeles and London, and inspired by late actress Elizabeth Taylor. The 31-year-old fashion designer has teamed up with Smashbox cosmetics, which is owned by Estée Lauder, to create these products, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Nicky, the sister of Paris Hilton, admits she turned to the makeup worn by late acting legend Taylor and other iconic actresses for ideas as she aims for a classic Hollywood look. Asked who inspires her when it comes to beauty, she said: "Elizabeth Taylor, Bridget Bardot, Audrey Hepburn. They were classic beauties who all had signature makeup looks."

Nicky, who is getting married to Todd Meister in a few weeks, was personally approached by Davis Factor, who co-founded Smashbox with his brother Dean, to create a cosmetic range and she instantly came up with the idea to make products for the eyes because they are the "most striking feature".
