Because we need to discuss how the red lids rocked by Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket is SO Pat McGrath‘s cherry red eyes moment at Miu Miu‘s Spring/Summer 20112 show by way of Tom Pecheux‘s red-orange eye moment created with Estee Lauder lip products at the Derek Lam Spring/Summer 2011 show. I can only hope the future will include technicolor lids in varying shades. If there’s anything that thrills me more than a portal in a sci-fi work, it’s fashion and beauty predictions. P.S. I’m still waiting for my Hoverboard. Get on that, Mattel.
