Trends come and go every season and maybe easily forgotten, but a timeless beauty trend that has made a massive resurgence is the bold, monochromatic makeup look.
This makeup technique of coordinating the shade you apply to your eyes, lips and cheeks is finding a lot of favours these days. Using different tints and tones of the same colour to create a full-face look gives a simple and polished effect on your makeup without camouflaging your natural beauty.
One great advantage of sporting this look is that you don’t need to buy separate products for specific uses. You can use your existing products to get the perfect match of colour between the eyes, lips, and cheeks. That favourite lipstick you have can double up as a blush too. Now, wouldn’t you love that?
Pinks, nudes, reds — the monochromatic look can be easily achieved with any shade of your choice that flatters your skin tone.
Here we show you three easy looks to perfect that monochromatic makeup magic on your face.
Natural Nude
A staple of the 90s aesthetic — the nude monochromatic look is perfect for everyday office wear.
To start, even out your skin tone with a natural finish foundation. Once you’ve perfected the base, add a touch of nude eyeshadow from your eyeshadow palette on your lids. Use a darker shade on the crease line to create some definition. Finish by lining your eyes with a soft brown kohl pencil.
For the perfect pout, before applying your signature matte nude lip colour, line the lips with a liner that is a shade darker than your lipstick. Lastly, apply an earthy blush to bring the look together.
Pretty In Pink
You probably already have shades of pink in your makeup kit, but the trick lies in the way you apply this shade! Gently apply a light layer of a highly pigmented lipstick on your eyelids. You can easily build up the intensity by layering more colour. Apply a nude eyeliner on your waterline to make your eyes look wider and bright. Next, mimic a natural flush by dabbing on a few dots of the lipstick on the apples of your cheeks and blend it out evenly for a seamless finish. Finally, use it on your lips, and you’re ready for that brunch date in no time.
If you want to go a little dramatic, pick complementary shades of pink from an eyeshadow palette and use a small shadow brush to create a soft smokey eye.
Glitter Glam
The secret to ace this ultra-glam look is to play with textures. This adds a dimension to your look. Mix metallic, frost and glitter finish to give it a more balanced and appealing touch.
To achieve this look, use a high shine purple eyeshadow on your eyelids. Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a lighter shade of purple and swipe the same across your cheekbones as well. Also, don’t forget to swipe a coat of mascara on the lashes. Add a hint of a glossy or shimmery wearable hint of lilac to your pout to seal the deal. This bold iteration of monochromatic makeup is ideal for a party. If you want to experiment more with this look, read our blog on how to Dazzle With The Glitter Eyeshadow Trend This Season.
