1. Color blocks

Bright and contrasting colors (one color or a combination of colors) are applied either to the entire eyelid or as an eyeliner. You can combine unexpected options: for example, a bright liner and pastel shades, in the spirit of Japanese street fashion. It will look very bold, playful and attractive.

2. Focus on eyelashes

Giant, super-long eyelashes, long fake tufts - this trend will make your look ultra-feminine. Apply them to the lower and upper eyelids, leaving a twiggy-style space between the lashes. You can use black classics, but neon color on the eyelashes will look more interesting and sharp.

3. Red shadows

Red shadows are always a provocation and a challenge, they instantly draw attention to the eyes. Now the trend is to combine red with black. How to do it? Dilute the classic smoky eyes with a dab of red in the center of the upper movable eyelid - this technique enlarges the eyes and makes them expressive.

4. The effect of kissed lips

The vibrant lip trend is transforming this season into perfectly crafted, imperfect lips. Bright colors are applied layer by layer. It can be a mix of vibrant colors to achieve complex, deep color. Main effect: lips should look like after a long and passionate kiss.

5. Bold arrows

This is a graphical trend that has variations:

• Graphic eyeliner - rectangular, semicircular and thin lines. The eyeliner is drawn just above the upper eyelid line, and it is the main detail on the face;
• Graphic arrow cat eye - accentuates the look, makes it sharp and focused;
• The new smoky eyes are an imperfect shaded black color. Use creamy textures instead of shadows and blend them with a thick brush. Classic rock star make-up like Kate Moss.

6. Pink color

Pink shades always make the face fresh and beautiful, apply them on cheekbones, lips and eyes. You can even use one makeup product for your entire face. It is important that the skin is perfectly prepared, and for such a pink makeup you should not overload the eyebrows and eyelashes with dark. The color can be as soft pink, applied to the eyelids (sometimes right up to the eyebrows), or bright neon, applied as an eyeliner.

7. Makeup without makeup

This trend passes from season to season, and it is impossible to think of a more wearable trend. But if in previous seasons there was an emphasis on the effect of a "naked", clean face, now it is important to achieve the effect of a flawless, very well-groomed face. For radiant skin, use moisturizers and highlighters. The important details are perfect eyebrows and curled eyelashes.
