Both fashion lines and cosmetic companies have come out with their new spring looks already, and I have seen a big trend: BLUE.
Sounds like scary stuff right? Well, it can be, especially in its most ghastly incarnations. What if you want to try it for real life?
Somehow these runway trends seem lost in translation...
Louis Vuitton S/S 08 - so charming at a garden party, don't you think?

Louis Vuitton S/S 08 - this is a real keeper, I know every woman wants to look like a frozen corpse! What? Don't you!?

John Galliano S/S 08 - nothing like being bright eyed and bushy tailed, but to look blue eyeshadowed and bushy eyelashed?

Giambattista Valli S/S 08 - now this is just the pits, ruined such a perfectly wearable spring mouth....

If you want to experiment (or re-experiment, as the case may be) with blue for everyday wear, it goes without saying that you should keep it to the eyes. But not just the eyes, keep it to the lashline. A subtle change to a bit of blue eyeliner (sapphire or blue suede cream eyeliner from gloMinerals) placed right along the upper lashline, with a soft light neutral shadow all over the lid (gloMinerals banana) and a healthy dose of mascara would be pretty AND wearable. You could even play up the blue if you wished with an extra swipe of a brighter blue shadow over the eyeliner, just along the lashline (gloMinerals shadow in Ocean is a beautiful light turquoise blue).
Our rendition of a great simple blue eye look for spring.
Thanks Laura for being my lovely model!
BLUE is not just a colour best left in the 80s, nor should it be doomed to be only a club-kid look or the name of an annoying dance song. It can look fresh and pretty, and it looks especially great on blue-eyed blondes wanting to perk up their eyes.

I agree. This is a great spring look on Laura. I think the blue liner makes the whites of her eyes brighter.
