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.

While we already rounded up 10 fabulously sexy 'little grey dresses' we thought we needed to talk a little bit about beauty. True to the book title, there are a ton of grey shades out there and when it comes to beauty, there is bound to be one to suit your skin tone.

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:

2. Nars Single Eyeshadow in Night Breed (C$28.00)
3. Spa Ritual Nail Polish in Pebble (C$12.75)
