Given that in the last two years, you have been hiding your pretty faces behind the masks. The only thing that the mask hasn’t covered are your gorgeous pair of eyes. So, this summer season, experiment with your makeup and let your eyes do the talking.
Setting beauty trends on the runway this year was the Backstage Heroes from Lakmé Salon & Academy. From smattering of colours to Swarovski crystals, this year FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week saw them collaborate with leading and new-age designers and create trendsetting looks on the runway.
Speaking about the looks that ruled the runway this year, Anupma Katyal, National Creative Director – Makeup, Lakme Salon, says, “This year, we pushed the boundaries and experimented with various components, such as pearls, Swarovski crystals and glitter in different spots, like the under eye, side forehead, and brow line. The eyes were also given a lot of attention. From a smattering of colours with no defined lines to playing with the water line and using natural brow augmentation instead of artificial mascaras, giving the eyes a graphical and structured look.”
Another thrilling aspect on the runway was creating gender-neutral makeup on the models. “It’s a refreshing change to see males wearing eye makeup and gloss with such ease. Overall, the makeup collection covered everything from ultra-minimal to over-the-top maximal looks, from powerful coloured brows and vivid eyeshadow hues to strong, bold and standout, glass skin, experimental glitter eye makeup, and more,” adds Anupma.
If you love experimenting with your eye-makeup, then check out these cool looks you can make a fashion statement in.
Sunset Eyes
The look features a warm eye shadow. For this look keep the skin plain and natural without too much concealing tone to tone. Avoid using false eye lashes instead use a mascara and lash curler. Use the same eyeshadow and blend it with a fluffy brush on the waterline (the line of skin between the eyelashes and the eye) so it adds more intensity to the look.
Art is where the heart is
A red liner and eye shadow is going to be a rage this season. The model’s eye in the picture features a winged liner. Then create another half line over the crease area and create little hearts. Drawing the hearts will require a lot of practice. Add some red glitter to enhance the hearts.
Luminous
Give way for glossy eyeshadows for your next fashion outing. Over the skin base, use the gloss to give a watery effect on the eyelid. You can also use it on the cheekbones to give it a glass look finish.
Line breaker
Mix blue and green to get this colour. To attain this look, just below the eyebrows draw a straight line. Draw it a little thick so it is visible. You can also experiment with these looks in various colours including gold, silver, green, blue, and white.
Pretty Pearls
To attain this look, opt for pearl bindis and stick it on the eyelid. Depending on the shape of your eyes you can create a cluster of pearls to get your desired look.
