Do you like to do a lot of eye makeup? Well, you’re in luck! In this season, eyeshadows are getting a lot of attention more than ever. And be careful, not just any… Monochromatic shadows are popular! A new trend coming this summer with an explosion of colors and very expressive beauty looks, based on one color. Something similar is happening with the “color block” trend when it comes to dressing with “total looks” from a single color range.
The look will be the protagonist these months and monochromatic eyeshadows will quickly become our allies to achieve this new hit that we have already seen with celebrities: soft smoky monotones with bright colors and very easy to apply at work. How do you make the most of this makeup trend?
- Create a natural smoky look by layering color all over the lid, or by applying variations of similar shades for a more dramatic and bold look.
- Choose an eyeshadow in the color you like best, and try to accentuate your eyes well. Choose earth tones for brown eyes, pink for green eyes and gold tones for lighter blue eyes.
- Gives even more color and dimension by applying a small point of light on the mobile eyelid in a very subtle and natural way.
- And it accentuates the eyeshadow even more, with a very subtle line between the lashes to give more depth and intensity to the look.
If you want to take it one step further, apply the same shades you use on the eyes, including on the lips and cheeks, to achieve an irresistible monochromatic overall look. But remember that the most important part of this makeup trend is a free and radiant look, where you can bring out your most creative side…
