Eyes like a spring sunset
Eyes like a spring sunset
As far as the impending months of spring are concerned, we’re all about embracing makeup from a more natural landscape.
Forget the futuristic channelings of the chrome nail trend for a moment, and cast away epic daydreams of a luxurious silk scarf for your sun-kissed, hair tan -coloured strands.
When our eyelids aren’t enlivened with a rich shade of green eyeshadow , we’re dipping into copper and russet tones that put a modern spin on a classic smokey eye .
PSA: It’s time to warm things up. This is how to master the celebrity-approved copper eye makeup trend…
We think we’ve been reintroduced to copper eye makeup a few dozen times in our lifetime, but there is something refreshing about the way we’re wearing it in 2022.
Picture a hazy blur of sunset copper colour on the lids, a slick of subtle mascara on the lashes and tactful placement of defining eyeliner. This trend is the wearable answer to traditional heavy smokey eye makeup.
It’s also customisable. Copper can morph into a multitude of tones depending on the colour of your complexion. A sheer shimmer of the stuff is enough to enhance glazed donut skin . A deeper hue becomes molten with a pigment-packed cream eyeshadow . No matter how you wear it, we encourage a focused hand when blending. Your eye makeup should blend seamlessly into your base and the negative space beneath your brows.
Now that you’ve got a taste for the stuff, it’s time to try your hand at mastering the copper eye makeup trend. If you’re a beginner to eye makeup, we’d suggest sticking to emollient cream and liquid formulas that are more forgiving.
If you’re feeling confident, layer a highlighting hue of eyeshadow (or cheek highlighter) at the centre of your eyelids and inner corner to create a multi-dimensional glow.
