FASHION UPDATE

Take a plunge

 
 
It's time to dive straight into the blues because blue certainly is the colour of the season. Designers have endorsed this 'aqualicious' palette world over and nothing should stop you from taking the plunge either. Begin with clothing and don't restrict the blue in your wardrobe to blue jeans. Go for loose, lightweight and flowing fabrics – especially muslin and chiffons – and look for a style that allows you a breezy movement. Movement is extremely movement when wearing a fluid colour like blue. Think clouds and a clear blue sky; think waters of a white sandy beach and set yourself against that back drop. Pair the blue (or shades of blue) with white, cream, grey or khaki and it'll be impossible to go wrong.
 
When doing your making, paint your eyelids blue with confidence. Just make sure they look bright and luminous and not opaque and pasty. L'Oreal has come up with brilliant HiP: high intensity pigments for the eyes and the bright shadow duos are perfect to achieve the look you want. If you're traveling abroad this summer, following the fad will be easy, but even in Pakistan, blue is easily available at the L'Oreal, Cover Girl and Rimmel counters at all leading departmental stores, as well as foreign franchises like Body Shop.

Accessorizing with blue is the tricky part and it's advisable to stay away from blue jewelry unless a) you've picked up a high end, branded luxury product or b) you

have the confidence and personality to carry it off with oomph. Other than that, blue jewelry can tend to get and look tacky. Instead, go for contemporary silver or gold. It'll make a winning combination.
