"Washed-denim" eyes [2] are a hot new winter makeup trend [3], and Dua Lipa is already a fan. On 30 Nov., the "Sweetest Pie" singer attended the 36th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City wearing her own version of the eye-makeup look that deserves to be on your inspiration board.
For the unfamiliar, washed-denim eye makeup came from the "denim revolution" we're seeing in fashion, as Cat Quinn [4], executive director of trends for MAC Cosmetics [5], previously told POPSUGAR. The makeup trend sees varying shades of blue shadow swept across the eyes for a look that's impactful yet, in a way, still neutral. Lipa opted to match her washed-denim eyes to her long blue patent-leather coat by using a smoky, silvery shade of blue. Heavy mascara and a touch of glitter finished off her eye look, while her lips were coated in a pinkish coral shade of lipstick and her skin had a luminous matte finish. To allow her eye makeup to really shine, her hair was pulled back into a sleek triple-braided ponytail [6].
If Lipa's past fashion choices are any indication — like that tiny denim miniskirt she wore [7] earlier this month or the Blumarine denim dress [8] from her "Future Nostalgia" Tour — it's clear the star is a big fan of the material. This makeup trend just makes sense for her. Take a closer look at Lipa's washed-denim eyes ahead.
