Box believes the experimental vibe that is transforming our attitudes to make-up can be wholly attributed to one person: "There was a tipping point and it was Amy Winehouse," she says emphatically. "A while ago she was absolutely the zeitgeist with her east London rockabilly look and I noticed the influence immediately. Chanel did a take on it at one of its shows, Italian Vogue did a take on it. Everybody took something from her look.

"Suddenly girls everywhere were going bigger with their eyes, their hair, their lips. But not in a Jordan way – it wasn't just sexy glamour, it had an edge and people were putting their own personality into it. In a short space of time, that has become so normal. For me, it was a massive turning point in people's personal make-up."

Err... not sure I'd call it 'normal'. There's not exactly an influx of rockabilly chicks in the UK now

I think it is more a case that we have always existed, but are just being noticed more now.

idk bout all that, but I do know that nowadays people immediately associate that style of eye make up with Amy Winehouse...despite the style having been around much longer than she. ha

True.. I think that younger girls are likley to be influenced as they aren't around long enough to have seen where Amy may have got her influence in hair/makeup ect from.
