Is it possible to incorporate
runway makeup into your daily life? Well, I have made it my mission! My daily makeup with the blushed cheeks and
the simple eye makeup is just not cutting it anymore. I need some color! And there
was plenty of color in the Spring Summer ‘16 runway makeup. So, I delved into
the photo archive of pretty much every fashion magazine and selected some of my
favorite looks. (I might have made a mood board as well. Read: this might turn
into a little series!)
To achieve
the look, take a chubby eye pencil across your eye along your eye socket. This
is just above where your crease would be. This way, the color doesn’t disappear
when you open your eyes, but it sits nicely above the rim of your crease. Leave
the rest of your makeup simple: no blush, a grey-toned contour and a blurred
lip. It’s
super easy! And, let’s be honest, it looks waaay cooler than the everyday
natural eye.
The pencil I used was one of the
2B cosmetics pastel eyeshadow pencils in Turquoise. 2B cosmetics really does
color well and I might have to go back for that pretty lilac pencil I had to
leave behind. It’s a budget friendly brand and the pencil didn’t budge at all
during the day. So, for now, I’m happy with it.
