The long-prevailing no-make-up make-up trend has given us serious withdrawal symptoms from the strong, jewel-toned themes that reigned over the past few autumn/winter seasons. As much as we’re craving them from autumn/winter 2013-14 or the tourmaline stained lips at Carolina Herrera last season don’t really feel appropriate here and now. But instead of stowing away all jewel-toned make-up, as you and I do with our woollens, make-up artists behind the spring/summer 2016 shows introduced us to a whole new world of gemstones. If you’re ready to look beyond traditional sapphires, rubies and emeralds, here are the new jewel tones for the season. Did we hear an ‘open sesame’?

Blue period

Blue didn’t quit drifting this season at the blue-green end of the range, it went ahead to incorporate darker, more exceptional shades enlivened by lapis lazuli. At Jonathan Saunders, Lucia Pieroni made blue-ringed eyes, tight-covering upper and lower lash lines with an electric blue pencil. In New York, Marc Jacobs gave night feathered creatures another smoky eye style to play with—sapphire mixed out beginning from the internal corners of the eyes. Also, on the off chance that you have more than Rihanna’s offer of make-up moxie, put Agrima Batra’s blue lined temples on your must-attempt list.

Blur to dark

Taking motivation from onyx, make-up craftsmen made looks that would get a goth young lady to smile. Pat McGrath’s broody magnificence at Miu saw obscured eyebrows and ombre frowns with dark at the inside. While, at Julien Macdonald and Wendell Rodricks, we had a sudden ’90s flashback when the models ventured out with exceptional, obscure smoky eyes.

Agreeable flame

Rather than the de rigeur metallic and matte cocoa tones, investigate the searing angles of topaz to add warmth to your skin. Tom Pecheux included a pinch of the unusual to Derek Lam’s otherwise clean collection by mixing a peach and yellow shadow where your dark circles would be, while at Altuzarra he picked a diffused orange wash for the eyes. At Euro and P.E.L.L.A., models’ eyes were gotten land in metallic golden and copper shades. In any case, the most sweltering looks on the runway utilized gold; we saw aureate covers at Tanvi Kedia and plated frowns at Prada.

In the red

In case you’re joined at the lip to your most loved striking red shade, you might not need to go separate ways even in warm climate. Attempt a profound garnet-propelled red like at Sneha Arora and Huemn, which combines shockingly well with spring’s blossoms. For those who’d incline toward a more lively shade, take a signal from Topshop Unique, Oscar de la Renta and Jason Wu. Layer your most loved red with cool connotations to impeccable that sharp, modern mouth

Across the narrow sea

Channel your inner mermaid with shades derived from the oceanic spectrum of aquamarine. Val Garland at Roksanda and Pat McGrath at Diane von Furstenberg created eyes rimmed with shades of sea green and pearlescent blue, almost resembling the Maldivian seascape. Jenny Packham and Dries Van Noten took a subtler but no less impactful approach with the colour, using cyan as eyeliner and cerulean glitter respectively.
