TrendSpark: Eye Gloss

Goodbye lip gloss, hello eye gloss? yeah you read that right I said eye gloss. Style.com reported the new trend that has been hitting the runway all Fashion Week. Eye gloss is more or less just putting Vaseline under the eye to create a shine and draw attention to the eye. I think this is a really cool idea, but a little bit tricky to pull off without looking downright sweaty. The look was seen on Alexander Wang’s, Marc Jacobs’ and Narciso Rodriguez’s runways this year, and apparently has caused quite the stir. Style.com got a chance to talk to Dick Page about the trend:

When asked his opinion on the burgeoning trend, Page did not miss a beat: “You know, you just can’t put much more gloss on your lips. Its like everyone’s been eating pork chops for the last few years. I don’t know how much more gloss the lip can carry, so maybe it’s just migrating north.” The “wet look” is not necessarily, er, easy on the eyes, however, and application can often be problematic. “It’s kind of tricky in the real world because it goes south—it moves, so you can’t put anything else on with it,” Page says, referring to the fact that typically no mascara or plain liner will hold when an eye gloss is involved. But if you can appreciate its pared-down effect, the makeup artist recommends blending a charcoal pencil on the back of the hand with your emollient of choice and applying to lids at will.

Let’s hear it indies, Are you down with the eye gloss? Or are you going to stick with Lil’ Mama and your lip gloss?
