As the weekend approaches, I'm making a mental note of a few self-care
activities to indulge in. Included on my to-do list was setting
aside some time to try out a new makeup look. I've had my eyes on a
modern take on eyeshadow application that I can't wait to try.
Instead of cut creases and multiple shades, we've now entered the age of
the monochromatic lid. This is basically monotoned eyeshadow makeup that can
be worn on a night out or as part of an everyday look. what I'm loving about
this trend is that both the glam girls and those who prefer a more
toned-down look can both participate. It also seems like it
requires a less precise application technique than we've seen with previous
eyeshadow looks with detailed shading and blending. This means that we
all can master it with a little practice.
For your first attempt, you can follow this MAC tutorial featuring a very
wearable version of the monochromatic lid.
Once you've got the hang of the everyday monochromatic eye, it's time to experiment with a more dramatic look.
If you have smaller set eyes, this technique makes your eyes more
prominent. I have tiny eyes and the everyday monochrome look was
really flattering. If your eyes are on the larger side, going
monochrome will make them look unreal.
So now the fun starts. Experiment with different shades of pink, orange,
burgundy, or browns and see which monochrome color palette works for
you.
