Make-up Trend: Navy Blue Eye Shadow [Vogue India]

Fall’s sexiest eye make-up trend could easily be navy. Teal, sapphire or indigo, this season celebrated the colour blue in all it various hues. All-out and high-brow drama at Derek Lam, shiny metallic blues at Diane von Furstenberg and Dsquared and bold glitter-navy wings at Yohji Yamamoto, marked the comeback of this Eighties OTT color. The color blue is universally flattering: whether you opt for a dramatic sapphire sweep like Sonam Kapoor, or a line of cerulean glitter eye liner, it's guaranteed to make your eyes pop, making it perfect for the party season.If you’re beauty forward, high-impact blue lids are a great way to make heads turn. Take a cue from Derek Lam’s beauty backstage and sweep the color from your inner eye corners to way up high till your eye brows. Skip the eye liner and keep the lips light in shades of brown or copper to re-create Tom Pecheux’s, Blue Dahlia look to perfection. If full blown indigo eyes are not your thing, opt for eyeliner in electric blues. Draw bold lines, ending in wings aka Yamamoto or create a smudged cat-eye effect like Dsquared. You can even reinvent the classic smokey eye by blending in shades of blue with the usual grey-black palette.Subtle, sophisticated or sexy, whichever way you incorporate navy into your eye make-up this fall, we hope a little blue goes a long way.
