ACROSS THE NARROW SEA

Channel your inner mermaid with shades derived from

the oceanic spectrum ofaquamarine. Val Garland at

Roksanda and Pat McGrath at Diane von Furstenberg

created eyes rimmed with shades of sea green and

pearlescent blue, almost resembling the Maldivian

seascape. Jenny Packham and Dries Van Noten took a

subtler but no less impactful approach with the colour,

using cyan as eyeliner and cerulean glitter respectively.

BLUE PERIOD

Blue didn’t stop trending this

season at the blue-green end

of the spectrum, it went on to

include darker, more intense

shades inspired bylapis lazuli. At

Jonathan Saunders, Lucia Pieroni

created blue-ringed eyes, tight-

lining upper and lower lash lines

with an electric blue pencil. In New

York, Marc Jacobs gave night birds

a new smoky eye style to play with—

sapphire blended out starting from

the inner corners of the eyes. And if

you’ve got more than Rihanna’s share

of make-up moxie, put Agrima Batra’s

blue lined brow on your must-try list.

The long-prevailing no-make-up make-

up trend has given us serious with-

drawal symptoms from the strong,

jewel-toned themes that reigned over

the past few autumn/winter seasons.

As much as we’re craving them, Jason

Wu’s amethyst eyes and Cushnie et

Ochs’s emerald smoke from autumn/

winter 2013-14 or the tourmaline

stained lips at Carolina Herrera last

season don’t really feel appropriate

here and now. But instead of stowing

away all their jewel-toned make-up, as

you and I do with our woollens, make-

up artists behind the spring/summer

2016 shows introduced us to a whole

new world of gemstones. If you’re

ready to look beyond traditional sap-

phires, rubies and emeralds, here are

the new jewel tones for the season.

Did we hear an ‘open sesame’?
