Trend to Try: Cobalt Eye Color

Runway: Blue liner went high-voltage on the Anna Sui runway. The designer swept cream shadow into feline-fierce cat eyes and punctuated the look with pupil-mirroring dots below models’ lower lashes.

Real life: Showing up for work wearing Sui’s take on electric blue might earn you a pink slip -- yet done in moderation the color complements almost every eye color and complexion. Try a subtler take on the trend with blue mascara. Sweep your regular black or brown shade on your top lashes and blue on the bottom. You’ll instantly brighten whites and widen eyes.
