So, the subject of this week’s theme over on Pinterest? Coloured make-up for the eye – liners, shadows, lashes… If it’s bright, it’s there.
How stunning are these bejewelled peepers at Dior SS13? For a big event with a sleek pony (a la Dior) and a vintage floor-length black gown, this would look IN-CREDIBLE. It has a feeling of Black Swan about it. Well, Black Swan’s happier sister perhaps.
Less ‘out there’ is the full-lid wash of metallics, as seen at Chanel SS13:
I love it twinned with the graphic black liner – Estee Lauder have just launched their Pure Colour Stay-On Shadow Paint which are perfect for getting this look. The mousse eyeshadow gives crease-less coverage in molten metallic shades. I love the midnight blue, too.
And the one that I didn’t expect to love: orange:
This is a MAC SS13 colour (here for TCN at Barcelona Fashion Week), doesn’t it make her eyes pop? I would use this MAC pigment wet, applied with a liner brush, to get the intensity of colour.
This season I’m really loving paring neon brights with my mainly monochromatic wardrobe, and this could be a great addition. Worn with dewy pared-down skin and a slick of mascara I think it could be a great easy-to-wear trend. What do you think?
There is a whole board of inspiration over on Pinterest, I’d love to hear what colours you’re trying this season…
LOVE! Do the Estee Lauder paints really last? I want a dark brown shot with navy… Too much?
Xxx
I don’t know – I haven’t roadtested them yet – I have tried another mousse-formula eyeshadow from EL and yes, it did really last. Dark brown shot with navy sounds fab. Have you seen the fuschia? Sooooo beautiful. x
