Topshop's LFW A/W 13 blue eyes




Sometimes the trends we're most intrigued by are the ones we're least likely to ever wear. Well, this is how I felt about Topshop's make-up recently at London Fashion Week.

Showcasing trends for A/W 13, all of Topshop's models had a dewy, light coverage, heavy sculpting, a light coat of mascara and 'cornflower' blue eyeshadow dusted over and under their eyes.

For some reason, blue eyeshadow has always made me a bit nauseous. But when I saw coverage of Topshop's show - I was inexplicably intrigued.

Earlier today I found myself hanging out of my bedroom window (don't worry, I live on the ground floor) due to a flatmate's indoor smoking habit and the tendency of my throat narrowing at even the word 'smoke'. My make-up collection also happens to be on my windowsill, and it wasn't long before I got distracted.

So here's my take on the trend. I say my take because, as an unemployed person a job-seeker I have a limited make-up collection. I'd never wear this exact look in public, but toned down I think it could look lovely. Also, because of my inherent disgust of blue eye make-up, I'd never before noticed the wonders it does for brown eyes. Let me know your thoughts!

  3. It does work lovely with such chocolatey eyes! I don't tend to wear makeup very often, but it's more of a confidence thing; if you think it looks good and went out feeling good, then you're working the colour and not the other way around :3
