| NARS Fall 2011 Campaign |
It seems a little strange to start thinking about fall trends already, but if turquoise was a hot color for summer, this fall's color is a deeper blue. More primary than midnight, this sapphire shade is popping up everywhere! Only fitting, as sapphire is September's birthstone and the primary blue evokes back-to-school art supplies. Perhaps it also has a bit to do with Kate's iconic engagement ring?
Wearing blue has benefits: it makes your eyes look brighter and your teeth looker whiter! Throw on Elvis Presley's "Blue Suede Shoes" and check out these true blue picks to stay on-trend this fall!
NARS released the fabulous bright blue shade Outremer for fall 2011; models for the campaign show you how to keep it modern and artistic (see first picture, above). Other great blue shadows include Sugarpill's Afterparty, a metallic blue, and MAC's frosty Corn Flower pigment. If blue eyeshadow is a bit much, try Urban Decay's 24/7 Eyeliner pencil in Deviant, a bright electric blue for a hint of color on your eyelids. For the most subtle eye brightening trick, try a blue mascara like this one called Blue Noir from Buxom Lash!
Another simple way to wear the blue trend? Nail polish, naturally! Essie Mesmerize is a gorgeous primary blue and Sephora by OPI Midnight Mambo amps it up with chunky bits of glitter.
The easiest trick of all is Benefit's California Kissin' lip gloss; it has the slightest aqua sheen to make your teeth look extra white!
Finally, pretty up your vanity with one of these beautifully blue packaged products. Van Cleef & Arpels's Midnight in Paris perfume is decorated like the night sky and is one of the most gorgeous bottles I've ever seen. And don;t forget your complexion! This enzyme mask from Ole Henriksen is loaded with antioxidant rich blue-and-blackberries to keep skin young and glowing.
So what do you think? Will you participate in fall's blue makeup trend? Which product would you most likely wear? Let me know!
do you think "midnight in paris" is at all related to the film? I love blue makeup, I guess b/c I have brown eyes/hair so it is flattering to me. I love that NARS chose MariaCarla Boscono as the fall model, although that shade of blue is really the only part of that collection I can get into-- their s/s 11 collection was so great, it's sorta hard to top. maybe ever.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the Cindy Sherman for MAC collection this fall.
Ooh, I don't know! And I'm with you on the rest of the NARS fall collection.
ReplyDeleteI've read about Cindy Sherman's collection! I want to be more familiar with her work, I think that would give the collection a better context for me.
