Sky Blue: The It Colour of the Season
The spring/summer 2024 runways have spoken, and the “It” colour of the season has landed: sky blue. Fendi, Gucci, Aigner… they’re all in love with this sublime shade, which by now is not just a colour, but a statement, a vibe, and the reigning hue of the season.
Why the sky blue obsession, you ask? Well, let's talk psychology for a minute. Blue is the world’s most favourite colour, with many viewing it as as a non-threatening, traditional. However, the shade sky blue turns this on its head: evoking a sense of freedom and lightness. No wonder the catwalks, and the streets, have taken inspiration from this shade!
In the realm of cosmetics, sky blue is having its moment too. From dramatic eyeliners to mesmerising nail polishes, and even lash-defining mascaras, this tranquil shade is making waves everywhere, and boy, does it deserve the spotlight! It's versatile, it's refreshing, and it's the perfect way to inject a burst of colour into any look.
For your eyes, we recommend Zoeva’s Marine Blue Eyeliner, perfect for creating both subtle flicks and bold wings that command attention. For a lid glazed with the season’s must-have shade, MAC’s Shimmer Eyeshadow in Tilt has you covered. And to truly make those peepers pop, seal the deal with Shiseido’s Controlled Chaos Mascara in a dazzling blue shade that promises to captivate.
When it comes to nails, embrace the essence of a cloudless summer sky with OPI’s Nail Lacquer in *Verified* or dabble in mermaidcore with Salon System's Gellux in Tease Me Teal. Whichever you choose, your nails are sure to make a splash wherever you go.
But sky blue isn't just about aesthetics; it's a hue with a deeper resonance. Beyond its visual appeal, it serves as a conduit to a state of mind. It also holds profound wellness connotations. Psychologists say that this serene shade has been shown to promote a sense of calmness and relaxation, making it a great antidote to the stresses of modern life and a perfect accessory for a carefree summer season.
Why not give a touch of sky blue a go this season - be it on your eyes, nails, or even eyelashes - and let its enchanting hue guide you towards a summer filled with carefree, chill vibes.
