While exaggerated glass skin, sharp contouring and holographic lids once reigned supreme, the post-pandemic mood is changing shape, pushing the established trend cycle firmly off track with a new, fierce take on beauty taking centre stage. Leading publications foresee the return of the color blue and set to dominate and boom across the board this month. Ahead, five solid formulas that are bathed in this modern, sophisticated shade - and they’re all priced under Rs.1000.
Best Blue Makeup Formulas Under Rs. 1000
1. Nykaa Nail Enamel Polish - So Teal-Icious
Proudly holding a 4.5/5 rating from customers, we don’t honestly care what season it is because the shade Teal-Icious works for them all. It’s a plush, pigmented formula, with a hint of summer-sky blue. When you're wearing a shade like this, you'll feel like you're on a beach in the bahamas, sipping an icy cold mojito (which is where we should all be right now, honestly)
PRICE: ₹143
2. PAC Pressed Glitter Eyeshadow - 27 Fashion Police
Sure, some formulas are glittery but this pressed eyeshadow is actual glitter. It's a highly pigmented and ultra-blendable product that delivers a strong, blue wash of sparkle. The shade Fashion Police is an editor-favourite specifically because it’s superfine but also incredibly reflective. We like our makeup strong and bold, you know?
PRICE: ₹500
3. Milani Ludicrous Matte Lip Crayon - 240 Front Row
In case you’re weary of blue lipsticks, you really shouldn’t be—especially when you have the universally flattering Front Row designed to look suit everybody. Also, this crayon is made with a lush blend of avocado oil, jojoba oil and shea butter that chimes in to make sure your lips are hydrated and healthy (see, we appreciate that).
PRICE: ₹950
4. SERY Focus Eye Shadow Stick - E6 Marine
Eyeshadow sticks are coming in strong this year. And that color? Heck, YAS SERY! Wearing the shade Marine just makes us happier to be honest. You could apply one streak from the inner corner of your eyes and take it all the way to the outer corner and blend up to the crease. Plus, it’s packed with red raspberries to keep your lids nice and moisturized. So, yes. There’s a lot to love.
PRICE: ₹399
5. Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara - Royal Blue
If extra bright blue ain't your thing, this curling mascara is for you. This over-the-counter product boasts lash-nourishing ingredients to avoid the chances of brittle, dried up lashes (which we want to seriously avoid). This mascara has been around for a few years now, but it's seriously still one of the most elegant blue mascaras we've tried. I personally wear it on Mondays to kill the Monday blues. You see what I did there? No?
PRICE: ₹338
