Eyes
Current trends are steering away from the traditional smoky
eye and incorporating more metallics and vibrant pops of color into the
palette. Metallics have long been
a popular choice for eyeshadow, but are now an increasingly trendy choice for eyeliner. The pops of color being seen most are
intensely pigmented purples, blues and greens. For those looking for even more drama, add a splash of
glitter to the lid or liner or create a thicker, winged effect with
eyeliner.
Tips and tricks:
- When applying a vibrant pop of color, be sure to keep the rest of the look more neutral. For example, combine a bright liner with a neutral shadow and a bright shadow with a neutral liner.
- Build up a thick liner very slowly – this will give you more control of the end result.
- Start small if you’re a little intimidated by bright colors – a colored liner is a great place to begin.
- When creating a winged effect at the outer corners, close your eye, hold the corner of your eye and draw a straight line. Don’t try to wing liner out; instead, build the line up higher with each stroke. When the lid is released, the illusion of a wing appears.
