Just because it’s the New Normal, doesn’t mean we let go of our makeup regimen. These hot, new makeup trends bring out the beauty of your eyes and face, even as the lower half of our faces are covered.
Wing It!
The winged eyeliner popularised by Amy Winehouse makes a comeback this Fall. The fashion runways saw two different styles to wear the winged eyeliner.
Pro Tips:
- Try a stylised and defined line that, rather than exaggeratedly points upwards, is drawn lower to meet the underline effectively emphasising the outer corner of the eye.
- Go for a slightly smudged look with eyeshadow underneath perfectly lined eyeliner.
Tools:
M.A.C. Brushstroke 24-Hour Liner
This 24-hour long-lasting liquid eyeliner pen has a precision brush tip for well-drawn eyes.
The Body Shop Star Stamp Liner
Whether you like it fine for work or bold for after hours, this 2-in-one liner does the trick to stamp on perfect wings or stars.
Metallica
Add metallic glam to your look as seen on the runways. From highlighters that gleam like gold to bronzers with a sleek sheen, here’s your day-to-night look.
Pro Tips:
- Keep a light hand for day—just a sheer sweep of metal will do to give out a glowing look against the light.
- For evening, contour with metallic bronzer to catch the spotlight or highlight cheekbones.
Tools:
M.A.C. Foiled Shadow/Bronzer
This limited edition two-in-one is a luminous light-weight brozer or wet/dry eye shadow that’s highly pigmented with shine.
The Body Shop Drops of Gold Lustre Finish Creator
This versatile illuminator can be used alone or mixed with your favourite products for instant glow and radiance, or a highlight on eyes or cheekbones.
Pop Star
Runways eschewed the doom and gloom of the pandemic, spotlighting pops of colour to brighten our day.
Pro Tips:
- Balance your look out with paler lipstick to set off the pop of colour on your eyes.
- There is such a thing as too much of a good thing—don’t overload your makeup brush with colour. Take baby steps while applying strong colours—just a touch will instantly add spark to eyes.
Tools:
M.A.C Mosaic Masterpiece EyeshadowX9: Creative Copper
This limited-edition eye shadow palette comes in nine exclusive highly pigmented shades with everything for the base colour to a striking colour finish.
