The 80’s are back! At least in the world of makeup, where it is now
glamorous to exhibit highly pigmented eye shadows, and sophisticated Swarovski
crystal embellishments to create the perfect designer eye.
It’s the season to be bold, and it requires you to retire your neutral
makeup shades in favour of bright and dramatic eye shadows. Simpy hiding those
uncomfortable spots or enhancing your complexion is no longer enough to convey
beauty. You should highlight your features, not conceal them!
For those in
need of inspiration, Dior exhibited ‘techno butterflies’ for the Spring 2013
Paris Fashion Week. The multicolour spectacle saw the eyes layered with richly
pigmented and texturised eye shadows in many different hues, with Swarovski
crystals lining each look. Black mascara also subtly defined the upper lash
lines as the lips were left bare. In keeping the rest of the face simple, Dior
has definitively outlined this season’s trend: it is all about textures that
enhance the shapes and shades of the eyes.
If you are eager to try this trend but are uneasy when using loud
colours, Rhiannon recommends lining the eye with a bright eyeliner that
attracts the light, whilst keeping the rest of the face fresh and nude.
To recreate this look, we’ve suggested some recession and student
friendly products:
Face (on both models)
Primer – a Gosh primer was used a base to prolong the
wear of the foundation.
Foundation - YSL liquid foundation and Bourjois
liquid foundation.
Powder – a translucent face powder was used to give a matte luminous
finish to the skin
Eyes
For applying eye shadows to eyelids, Rhiannon recommends investing in a blending
brush or a tapered brush that will enable you to contour and blend
successfully without creasing the shadows.
Rhiannon used Collection 2000 eye shadow pallets to achieve a peacock
look on the eyes on both models. On Steph she used purple colours to contour
the brow bones, whilst the eyelids were lined with a light green shimmery eye
shadow to define her blue eyes. On Tess, Rhiannon used a Gosh triple colour
palette with green shades to complement the model’s eyes. Yellow colours were
also used to contour the brown tones for a hint of colour.
