ANN/THE DAILY STAR – I’ve always been drawn to bright colours – whether it’s daydreaming about spring meadows brimming with vibrant blooms or choosing the most colourful drinks at parties. The brighter they were, the more appealing they seemed to me.
To explain my love for colour further, you’d have to peek into my wardrobe. A bold, blood-red outfit is a staple, and carnation yellow appears more than once – whether as a light jacket or a sultry blouse to pair with a magenta dress. Simply put, colour rules my style.
That’s not to say I avoid whites, beiges, or greys; they’re in there too. But I always add a splash of boldness – whether it’s red lipstick or electric blue eyeshadow. The end result? A look that’s always glamourous, fun, and effortlessly bold.
Another new trend that has caught the eyes of the fashionistas are graphic cat eyes, but is this where it ends? Of course not! This is just the beginning; the larger-than-life depiction of cat eyes are accentuated with pastel hues of marigold and turquoise to make it seems more playful and eye-catching.
Lips get similar attention at most ramp shows, with the scarlet red taking centre stage. If the dresses have a tad touch of floral paintings, then there’s no looking back to the amount of experiment with colours on the lips. Everything from the bright yellow to thistle, periwinkle, and even cornflower blue is fair game. And while blush never seems to get enough attention as much as the eyes or the lips, they are equally important in helping to intensify a look.
Swept all over the cheeks are brighter shades of pink and orange. Lighter and deeper versions of the same hues work at contouring the entire face. The ultimate result, a youthful and creative look that compliments the wardrobe, and the accessories of the season.
So, to sum up then, a splash in colours is always colour therapy at its finest. – Adnan Rahman
