Straight from the catwalk
The latest monochrome trend in makeup comes in lovely shades of pastel. Hues of pink and lilac are some of the go-to colours used to create a fresh, glowing complexion.
Celebrate your beauty and femininity with a romantic, easy-to-achieve look created specifically for women in their 20s.
Complexion
Before moving forward with the makeup, prep your skin by applying toner to your face, followed by a moisturizer suited to your skin type. As for makeup, the rule of thumb is to keep it light.
- Start by evening out your complexion with BB cream.
- Erase darker circles beneath the eyes with a touch of concealer.
- Illuminate your complexion. Simply apply a skin illuminator to the highest points of your face, like the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and Cupid’s bow.
- Highlight your cheekbones with pink blush. Just smile and sweep the brush over each cheek.
- Set your makeup with a hint of mineral powder.
Eyes
With eye makeup, always start with the lightest colours first.
Quick tip- Brighten the eye area and open it up with white pearly eye shadow applied to the inner corners.
- Follow with pink shadow on the entire lid.
- Add a hint of plum to the crease for better definition.
- End with a darker mauve just beneath the eye.
- For extra definition, use black eyeliner along the upper lash line.
- After curling your lashes, brush on two coats of black mascara.
- Finish by grooming your eyebrows. You can draw, tame and set them all with a single eyebrow pencil.
Investing in good makeup brushes is a decision you will not regret. You’ll get many years of use out of them.
Lips
To complete your monochrome look, highlight your lips with a hint of pink. Choose lipstick or tinted lip balm closely matching the colour of your blush to avoid a colour clash.
