As we know, the trends we see on the runway often dictate what we wear, but when it comes to makeup it can sometimes be intimidating to translate a statement look into our everyday routine. From vibrant hues, dramatic liner, and glitter galore, the possibilities are essentially endless.
The key to embracing the runway trends you are most drawn to is to start simple. If it’s a more dramatic lip color that’s trending, try out a softer shade in that same color family. If you’re looking for a bold eye look, opt for a shimmery lid and neutral shade on the lower lash line or combination of brighter liner and lighter shadow.
Shimmery Smokey Eye
One of this season’s makeup must-haves is the shimmery smokey eye. The dazzling combination of glittery eyeshadow and bold liner is sure to stun. To get the look, start by swept a light neutral shimmer shadow all over the lid. Then, take a darker brown shade and blend it on the edge of the crease line and lower lash line. Deepen the look by adding a black liner to your lash line. Lastly, add a glittery gold to the center of the lid and the inner corner for a beautiful glimmering finish.
Multi-Toned Lips
When it comes to lipstick, it’s all about experimenting with pops of color. The multi-toned lip is sure to get you noticed. Start with a color that’s close to your natural lip shade and apply it all over. Then, take a brighter shade and apply it to the center of your lower lip, blend it out with a fingertip or makeup sponge. For extra vibrancy, press a coordinating glitter onto the center of your lips.
Glossy Eye Look
Take your eye look from flat to dramatic with a glossy finish. Lids and liner that shimmer are a perfect complement to bold lips and luscious lashes. Start with a shimmery champagne eye shadow and apply it all over the lid. Then, add a smudge of black liner to the upper lid. Finish with a generous helping of glossy black shadow to the lower lash line and inner corner, and a swipe of mascara to the lashes.
