Perhaps more than any other type of makeup, blue eyeshadow has a seriously bad reputation. It immediately brings to mind some less-than-ideal things: ’80s makeup, frost and glitter up to your brow bone, and well, this. Overall, not good. But over the last couple of years, we’ve seen blue eyeshadow pop up on the runways […]

Like most people, the mere mention of blue eye makeup conjures up images of frosty, powdered shades of cerulean done up in a tacky ‘80s manner.

All eyes are on Milan now, but let’s not forget some of London Fashion Week Spring 2013’s best in beauty. Most refreshing was the influx of bright lips, an area of the face that didn’t get a lot of play at New York Fashion Week, where the general trend was minimal makeup and manicures—nude polish dominated as did completely bare, buffed-to-shine nails. In fact, backstage in the Big Apple makeup artists often skipped putting pigment on the mouth entirely opting for clear gloss. (One of a few notable exceptions, the matte raspberry lip at Jason Wu was awesome.) When they did pull out the colour, they applied it to the top half of the face: take Dick Page’s green and blue over-the-eye arches at Michael Kors, and Tom Pecheux’s abstract smears on lids at Peter Som.
