When it comes to makeup I wouldn’t call myself an expert, actually all I know is what I’ve learned while watching Claudia Sulewski’s makeup videos. However, even those who aren’t particularly well-versed in the area of makeup can’t help but notice the sea of bold/matte lips (thanks Kylie Jenner), winged eyeliner and neutral-toned eye shadows. These aren’t trends that will be dying off any time soon. However, this Fashionista shows us a new trend we’ll be seeing a lot more of in the spring: ditching the bold lip and bringing the attention to your eyes instead.
Now that spring has officially sprung, the classic pastels including pink are making their way back. Most of the time, when we’re talking makeup, the pinks are saved for the lips, but this Fashionista proves it can work for your lids too. She pairs her rustic pink eyeshadow with classic black jeans, Dr. Martens Chelsea boots and a sheer black floral shirt. Keeping her outfit simple, it lets her eyeshadow become the focal point of her look.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: If you want to spice up your life (pun intended) like this Fashionista has, the key is blending your eye shadow. You can use a pink-toned eye shadow, then throw in an earthy tone to soften it up. This Fashionista used the Urban Decay Naked3 palette to achieve her look, but you can get creative blending various shades with your own palettes. Just add a winged eyeliner, and you’re all set. To make sure your bold eye shadow pops, stick to the golden rule of “simplicity is key” when choosing your outfit.
