"Blue is the new black," announces Sarah Baldry, the lead make-up artist of L'Oreal Paris. Her hands have transformed many a model's faces into runway sirens. Currently, she is lending her creative expertise to Dubai Fashion Week.

Can you tell us about the next season's biggest make-up trends?

Bright colours are here to stay. You will see a lot of aquas, blues and plums.
We are living in a world of negativity and it is natural that vibrant colours will turn more popular.

Last season, designers were clamouring for the smoky, dark eyes. How has it been this season?

We have seen a complete turnaround this season. Designers are now opting for brighter colours and are not very keen on the smoky eye look.
In fact, they are now open to more vibrant shades of blue. The possibilities of working on a blue eye shadow are limitless. You can tone the blue or highlight it depending on the occasion.

Tell us more about your experience at the DFW?

It has been very smooth and less chaotic than I expected. Everything is going as per schedule and the models are looking lovely.
