7 Make - Up Trends to Try -

“1. Pop Art Lips - a Swipe of tangerine or fuchsia is awesome. Paint lips pink, then tap orange lipstick onto their center to this two-tone look.

2. Technicolor Hair

3. Aquatic Eyes

4. Celestial Skin - a streak highlighting on the ridge of cheekbones offers a higher bone structure when paired with a contrasting matte foundation. Pearly white pigments took best on fair complexion; peachy bronze works on everyone else.

5. Crimped Hair

6. The Smokey Brow - pick a pencil that’s at least a shade darker than your natural brows, and after brushing them upward, make small, feathery strokes to fill in the shapes. Sweep a brown shadow over them a soft, shadowy finish and then set with a brow gel.

7. Candy Shop Nails - use bright pastel like mint, sorbet, canary and paper white. “
