Blue Is The New Black

Inspired by Jade’s dress ( jadepaloma.wordpress.com ), I am in my blue phase at the moment; loving ultramarines, turquoise, navy, teal……

A subtle way to wear blue on your face is to use blue mascara , teal kohl pencil.

For the show stoppers, you should venture into the blue eyeshadows zone ( caution ; not for civilians, ie beginners ). Use a graduation of blue hues on your lids; dress your lashes in violet, finish your look with beige or coral for a neo 60′s  retro chic.

I loves Lunasol’s blue eye palette. Don’t forget your nails, paint them in this season IT  shade – Tiffany blue / Robin egg blue.

Guerlain, Kanebo, Kate & M.A.C. have palettes of lovely blue eyeshadow to suit every budget.

LPB officially declares blue is the new black this summer.

Couple these ultra cool shades with a stunning deep tan for a marvellous style ( again, check out Jade’s photo and you will appreciate what I am talking about )

What’s your favourite blue eyeshadows / nail varnish ?

Chanel 2009 Collection – Bird of Paradise

A collection so fine that I demand Santa to put this under my Christmas tree!

Chanel Makeup Studio takes a flight of fantasy this holiday season, inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s fascination with the brilliant plumage of exotic birds. Their lush beauty is captured in an enchanting holiday collection with shades of flamingo pink and peacock blue — accented with shimmering tones of green-gold, copper, and teal.

I am mesmerised by this wonderful collection, while the rest of the industry are delivering deeper /darker/ mysterious shades, Chanel comes out with such playful shades!

I like the idea of wearing bright colours during these gloomy months, this could be the orthodox solution for seasonal affective disorder.

Bird of Paradise Eyeshadow Quad - Aqua, yellow, green-gold, copper ( Limited Edition ), enough said!

This highlighter is impeccably chic!

Shimmering Tweed Highlighter – 3 delicately ‘woven’ shades of shimmering colour for cheeks and décolleté. Gold, bronze and copper tones cast a natural luminous glow on skin. Remarkably CHANEL: imprinted surface inspired by the iconic tweed.

Professional Eyeliner Duo in Celadon-Lame; irresistible green-black pigments.

I will be in beauty paradise if I could get my hands on these limited edition pieces.
