Makeup Trends You Cannot Miss Out!

Don’t Be Afraid To Sparkle!

Remember two adjectives amply and profusely! Apply glitter, whatever color, whatever style on your makeup brushes and paint away your eyelids cheeks and lips!

But not to go overboard and look like you’ve woken up hungover, the morning after a Halloween party, make sure to focus on one feature at a time. Also, glitter also has colors and undertones, so make sure whatever shades you use to compliment your skin tone.

Caution: You do want the glitter to stay in place and not spread all over, right? So, do apply base makeup before so that the glitter sticks on well, and of course, always finish up the look with a setting spray.

Red Lips Like A Living Laughing Rose..
Need I say more? No, but I still will …  The perfect amount of chill in the air brings back the classic French elegance, the rich and vibrant carmine lips.

Lips are the focal point in most makeup looks, pay detailed attention to contouring your lips with lip liners, add-on mascara, and some translucent powder and you are ready to take the world by the storm. Apply lipstick directly from the stick or always have the help of a lip brush to fix those imperfect curves and edges.

Caution: Chapped, dry lips don’t give out a perfect pout ever! Pay attention on taking care of your lips. Have a basic sugar scrub for your lips, use lip masks, keep them moisturized and most importantly hydrate.

Dreaming With Your Eyes Wide Open!
Nights get longer, days get shorter and our eyes definitely need a wakeup call. Give your eyes that fresh pop of illumination with white shadows at the inner corner of your eyes. Matte or not, totally your call!

Make things easy and multitask. Use a small pointed brush to enhance the corner of your eyes, cheekbones, top of the cupid bow and point on your nose with a neutral illuminator.

Caution: White won’t make your dark spots peak out or make your complexion look pale if the base foundation is of the right shade – add in a little bronzer and it’ll take the look to a totally different level.

Make It Pop Like Pink Champaign

Contrast is important, you know why? Because it gives all the colors used individuality and uniqueness. Pale/ dark, warm/ cold, use gradients on your eyelids to create the perfect pop art.
Even if you are scared of mismatched colors – give it a try, you won't believe how well sometimes the most bizarre looking combinations rock the look.

Caution: Blend – Blend – Blend. If the pop of color on your eyes is too much for you, try keeping your lips subtle, but I'd say give your lips a pop of color too, don’t let colors scare you.
Lip Gloss Speaks Louder Than Words!
Baby its cold outside, but fresh summer lips are always the deal breaker. Have them glossy, shimmery with a hint of “just bitten” effect.
Pastels shades like rose, peach, mauve, lilac, plum are the best options to get the look.

Caution: Pay attention to the gloss texture as well, because no matter how perfect the lip shade is, if it doesn’t look silky/ soft it won’t speak louder than words.

Ear Makeup Trend by Anum Thanvi

OK so we all are in on the Kardashian/ Jenner contouring game and lets be honest, it has become a habit now, so much so, we don't even remember makeup without contouring anymore. Talking about contouring we also know how people had mixed emotions when they heard that Kylie Jenner actually gets her ears contoured aswell, because her makeup artist Hrush Achemyn swears by the importance of it. I mean who wants their earlobes in a different skin tone? So now that I have covered making you comfortable with the idea of touching your ears, for makeup purpose, let me take you to the latest trend, that involves both makeup and ears! Its not a new thing - relax. But it sure has emerged again, with more statement and supremacy! It all started back in 2014, at the Paris Fashion Week. The Designer Anthony Vaccarello, known for his out of the box creativity, sent his models down the runway with graphic, ink blobs on their earlobes. For people it sure looked like a piece of jewelry but it really was black liquid liner drawn, to give a graphic effect. The look was created, rather invented by makeup artist Tom Pecheux and achieved its goal of looking like a second-skin ear cuff.

Anthony Vaccarello, wanted to create a piece of jewelry using makeup and he thought, putting motifs or designs on the face would rather look too tribal. Of course that's not the look he wanted to go for! Knowing his work I can bet he was quite particular of what he wanted and, the final look was black eyeliner with iridescent black glitter. The makeup artist beautifully took the theme along for the rest of the makeup look by using black glitter along the lower lash lines, to give it a more smudgy, smokey look. Pecheux quoted, "I love the look of the leftover makeup, but doing it with glitter, rather than eyeliner, makes it feel chic rather grungy" Of course after that, many followed and made it better and better. One of which was Pat McGrath who created a silver statement ear for Louis Vuitton Spring 2016.

Then to follow the trend was makeup artist Violette, creating new styles of ear makeup with glitters. Some glimpses of her ear makeup creations can be seen on her Instagram account. Violette is a die hard glitter fan, because she uses the technique for lips and of course eyes as well, quite a lot. But the ear makeup Insta, that too at this time,makes me believe the trend is coming back for good.

Latest on the ear makeup trend is its re-introduction at Proenza Schouler Spring 2017 during New York Fashion Week. Models carried their earlobes with graphic yellow & white paints. The look was created by Diane Kendal for MAC using the brand's Chromacake mixed with water—served as a perfect counterpart to the collection's over sized geometric earrings.

The question is would you be going for the ear makeup look?!!?!
