New eye makeup
Exciting! Let's explore some new eye makeup trends and ideas!
Current Trends:
- Glassy Eyes: A smooth, shiny finish is all the rage. Use a liquid eyeshadow or a setting spray to achieve this look.
- Bold Liners: Thick, bold eyeliner is back in style. Try a liquid or gel liner for a precise application.
- Neutral Palettes: Earthy tones like beige, taupe, and champagne are popular for everyday looks.
- Shimmery Highlights: Add a touch of sparkle with shimmery eyeshadows or highlighters on the brow bone or inner corner of the eye.
- Cat-Eye Revival: The classic cat-eye is back, with a modern twist. Try a soft, subtle version or go bold with a thick liner.
New Techniques:
- Cut Crease: Create a sharp, defined crease by applying eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eye and blending upwards.
- Layering: Build up color by layering different shades of eyeshadow or using a transition shade to blend between colors.
- Smudging: Soften the edges of your eyeliner by smudging it with a cotton swab or a smudge brush.
- Highlighting: Apply highlighter to the brow bone, inner corner of the eye, or along the lash line to add dimension and brightness.
- Glitter: Add some sparkle with glitter eyeshadows, liners, or loose glitter applied with a brush or a sponge.
Product Recommendations:
- Eyeshadows: Urban Decay Naked Palette, Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette, or MAC Soft Brown Eyeshadow.
- Eyeliners: Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, or Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue.
- Mascaras: Benefit They're Real! Mascara, Tarte Lash Hydrogel Waterproof Mascara, or Huda Beauty Legit Lashes Mascara.

Tips and Tricks:
- Prime your lids: Apply an eyeshadow primer to help your eyeshadows stay in place and bring out their true color.
- Blend, blend, blend: Make sure to blend your eyeshadows well to create a seamless transition between colors.
- Use a light hand: Start with a light application and build up color gradually to avoid overwhelming the eye.
- Experiment with textures: Mix and match different textures, like cream, powder, and gel, to add depth and interest to your look.
- Practice makes perfect: Don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to master a new technique or look. Keep practicing, and you'll get the hang of it!
I hope this helps you get started on your new eye makeup journey!
