  3. Peter Philips, creative and image director of Christian Dior makeup, created "thin as hair" silver eyeliner for the runway: "From the front, it seems as if there's nothing there, but as soon as they blink, you can see the silver, almost like a flashlight."

Inde Navarrette walked into the Dior Spring/Summer 2027 show at the Tuileries Garden in Paris wearing pastel blue eyeliner, and the entire Bazaar beauty team stopped in its tracks. The Obsession star debuted what the magazine calls a Parisian pastel blue eye that tied into the upcoming collection — with a fall twist.

Makeup artist Kayli Rachelle built the look around a muted, jewel-toned blue rather than a high-contrast shade. The choice made the colorful eye more approachable for the cooler months, according to Bazaar's report.

The technique breaks down into three steps. Rachelle applied a cool-toned pastel blue from Dior's previously limited-edition jewel-toned eyeshadow palette along the top and bottom lash lines. She then deepened the color by adding a Dior plum eyeliner to the waterline. To finish, she placed an icy blue eyeshadow as a highlight in the inner corners of the eyes.

Rachelle kept the rest of the composition seasonal. She warmed the face with bronzer, then layered a sheer veil of pink using Dior's pH-activated blush. A clear, glassy highlight went on top.

Navarrette's eye echoed the graphic eyeliner that Peter Philips, creative and image director of Christian Dior makeup, created for the Spring/Summer 2027 runway collection. Philips painted "thin as hair" silver eyeliner on some models, while others wore chunks of silver at the outer corners of their eyes.

"From the front, it seems as if there's nothing there, but as soon as they blink, you can see the silver, almost like a flashlight," Philips told Bazaar.

The front-row interpretation swaps Philips's silver flash for a pastel blue palette layered with plum, offering a wearable version of the runway's graphic liner concept. With Dior's jewel-toned palette now out of limited edition circulation, the look points to continued demand for muted, cool-toned color cosmetics heading into fall — and to pH-reactive and glass-finish products as the supporting cast for statement eyes.
