Are you ready to make a statement with your makeup this festival season? Let's get to it.
Color-blocked lids
Make a bold statement with color-blocked lids. This trend involves using two or more contrasting eyeshadow shades to create a bold, vibrant eye makeup look. Think bright orange paired with neon pink, or electric blue with vibrant green. The key is to use bold and bright hues that’ll stand out.
To achieve this look, start by applying a primer on your eyelids to help the eyeshadow stay in place all day. Then, choose your eyeshadow shades and apply the lighter colors on the inner corners of your eyes and the darker shades on the outer corners (both on the eye line and the lower lash line). Blend the colors to create a seamless transition and finish your statement eye with a few swipes of Unlashed Volume and Curl Mascara.
<product>2</product>Y2K blues
Y2K is back and if you’ve been slow to embrace it, there's no better time to let your inner Britney out than in your summer concert makeup. Create an elevated version by applying a pastel blue in the inner corners of your eyes and above the eyeballs. Blend a complementary shade of brown in the crease of your eye for a contoured effect, and draw a dramatic wing for a sleek take on this fun look. Complete your face with soft contouring, and be sure to highlight your cheekbones for a naturally lifted effect using our handbag-friendly On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator.
<product>3</product>Graphic eyeliner
One trend that's been making waves in the makeup world is graphic eyeliner. This style is all about creating bold, daring, and unique shapes and lines around your eyes. Whether you're going for an edgy and modern look or a more playful and colorful one, graphic eyeliner is an easy way to add some flair to your outfit.
To achieve this look, reach for your trusted Skyliner Automatic Gel Eyeliner (and maybe a little bit of glitter). Start by creating a basic winged eyeliner shape, then experiment with adding extra lines along your eyes' natural contours and edges. You can go for a subtle graphic liner with a simple line or two, or create an elaborate and intricate design.
To get the most out of this look, highlight your eye makeup by keeping the rest of your face makeup clean and simple. Reach for Dualist Matte and Illuminating Concealer to create a smooth, buildable canvas.
<product>4,5</product>Eyeshadow prints
From classic animal print to retro flowers, bringing prints into your eyeshadow makeup is both unique and striking. This look is especially fun to create with a friend (or a few!) – you’ll find it way easier drawing on someone else’s face than on your own! The most important part of successfully executing this trend is skincare preparation. You’ll need a smooth canvas that won't smudge or crease easily. For this reason, we recommend applying Pack Up & Glow Priming Mineral SPF 40 after your simple skincare routine and before your makeup application. You may also want to use a makeup setting spray to ensure your patterns remain fresh throughout the day.
<product>6</product>Face gems
Can your music festival makeup truly be complete without a little bling? From mermaid-inspired pearls to striking bridge rhinestones, face gems can be paired with a multitude of eye makeup looks to provide that extra sparkle. Light pink and purple eyeshadows are the perfect companion. This is also where you can go unashamedly all out with the glitter!
Keep the rest of your face makeup bright and simple with the help of Double Date Lip and Cheek for a natural flush.
