I used to love khaki. It can be both elegant and edgy, its green undertones makes it a proper color that stands out nicely from your basic black yet it still belongs to the neutrals category - that reassuring, fail and fool-proof neutral category. I used to wear it a lot but it somehow gradually disappeared form my wardrobe when grey took over. If I used to love khaki clothes and accessories, I also collected it in my make-up draws - because if you haven't tried it yet, khaki looks good on the eyes, too. As the winter months made their way back, so did my crave for smokier, grungier eye looks. As I was doing some serious damage at the magnificent beauty counters in Selfridges only two weeks ago, I found myself itching for a new eye base, something deeper than just a brown, softer than black, less daunting than green; something khaki. So today's star of the show is a gem from the dreamy Charlotte Tilbury make-up line, her "Eyes to mesmerise" cream shadow in Veruschka. It is a stunning khaki indeed, very flattering on brown and hazel eyes - but then, I'm pretty sure it would look good on anyone. I'm truly glad to have some khaki back into my life, so much that I am now forever drooling over some khaki boots, bags, sweaters - khaki everything. In fact I could almost go as far as to say that I feel whole again but that would be over-dramatic (but then, when am I not ?). Let us keep the violin down for once, shall we ?
