Thanks to makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath, striking blue lids are currently having a moment. The beauty-verse loved how Pat used glittery, dark blue eye shadow from her makeup collection, Divine Decadence, for the Anna Sui Fall 2017 fashion show. Lending a smoldering yet refined look, the models’ eyes were given further emphasis with mascara, while eyebrows were left untouched to give full attention to the peepers. In the same runway show, A-list models and sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid were seen sporting porcelain skin with the bold look on their eyes paired with rich burgundy lips.
Now, if you want to get this look right, it’s important to create a flawless base so that the hint of blue on lids will surely pop. So remember that it’s a must to use an eye shadow primer. We like how URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW PRIMER ANTI-AGING, P1,580, keeps eyeshadow in place for the whole day, makes colors pop out more, and acts like an eye cream, too!
After applying the blue eye shadow, use mascara to define lashes as there’s a tendency for lashes to disappear against dramatic and dark colors. If you’re extra playful, try a contrasting color! POP BEAUTY FLASHY LASHY MASCARA, P790, comes in shades of blue, purple and teal. Teal will definitely pop against that blue!
Lastly, you can go bold with a burgundy lip or opt for the less-is-more approach with a nude lip to offset the dressed-up eye. Either way, you can be sure people will be drawn to the drama on your lids.
