Powder?Topshop Eyes EyeDuo in Time Off, $12.
2012 Bravo Media LLC
How-to:Nicole’s unexpected take on the smoky eye is best for night.
Smudge at outer corners (imperfect is better).
Dump out your makeup, fill with essentials, then hit the town.
On Your Lashes
The blues:Cobalt mascara it exists!
And it has magical eye-brightening abilities, as Cara Delevingne demonstrates.
Great for bleary-eyed days (or any day, really).
For a subtler look, apply your regular mascara, then glide cobalt along tips of lashes only.
(But luckily, it sprays on clear).
Which is worth the slightly premium cost, judging by the effusive compliments garnered every time its worn.
This is probably how the French do it.
If you’re keener on easier-to-maneuver pencil, go forLancome Paris Le Stylo Waterproofin Marine Chic, $27.
On Your Nails
The blues:So many stunning cobalt polishes to choose from!
How-to:Cobalt looks equally cool-girl&mdash and livens skin tone&mdash on fingers and toes.
