„Navy blue is the only color which can ever compete with black” – Christian Dior

Dior is celebrating shades of blue with its F/W 2011 makeup collection „Blue Tie“. The look works so well with the ongoing fashion trend of blue and black colours. The products are available now and definitely among my favourites.

Smoky eyes and nude lips can be achieved with the season’s star product: The palette which contains 4 shimmering and matte colours (to reflect the fabrics used for tuxedos), in shades of grey (Smoking White) or shades of blue (Smoking blue). Each contains a nude gloss, the best finishing touch for smoky eyes, CHF 110.

Dior also introduces a new range of eyeshadow trios for the perfect smoky eyes look. Each palette contains a base plus  a toning matte and iridescent shade.
The rich colour pigments stay on very well. 
Smoky Black, Smoky Blue, Smoky Nude, Smoky Pink, Smoky Brown, each CHF 68.

For all nail polish aficionados, Dior  has two limited edition shades in a deep blue (908 Tuxedo) and a more vibrant cobalt blue (607 Blue Denim), each CHF 37.

Remember last year’s hype about Chanel’s three limited edition nail polishes Les Khaki de Chanel that the French house released for Fashion’s Night Out.

This year for FNO 2011, it is going to be Les Jeans de Chanel, a collection of three über-cool blue shades: Blue Rebel, Coco Blue and Blue Boy.

NY’s Fashion’s Night Out is September 8th and luckily it looks like I will be there. If you are not around, check out if retailers in your city or country are participating here, and look up the list of online retailers here.
