Season color: Red on the eyes, eyebrows and lips
Red reigns in make-up from ancient times. In this case, usually, when this color is spoken of as an immortal classic, only shades on the lips are meant. This season is much more interesting to talk about red than usual: the latest trend, for which you can thank the Chanel advertising campaign with Kristen Stewart, is a lot of eye makeup in red. So, the classic has received a new perception, and now all the variety of red colors are suggested to be used not only on the lips, but also anywhere on the face - it all depends on your preferences.
How it all began
The case when a new trend was born out of the love of experiments. An abundance of red - a favorite method of podium makeup artists. Luxurious combinations of red, pink and orange used NARS in makeup for the fall 2011 Thakoon show. In 2014, makeup eye makeup in red-brown shades was shown by makeup artists Rodarte, and at the same time bright red accents were seen on models by Jean Paul Gaultier and Kristina T. In an amicable way, the art-house version was at last year's London Fashion Week at AF Vandevorst: blue and red shadows, chaotically "sprinkled" over the centuries. Another spectacular but rather rare technique is the red arrows and other graphic accents on the eyes: they could be seen in the MAC for Max Mara.
In addition to the already mentioned Kristen Stewart, Zoya Kravitz, Gigi Hadid, El Fanning came out in a cool red. So, by 2016, we saw in the eyes of the catwalk models and celebrities, it seems, all possible shades - from muted, with pink and brown undertone, to intense wine. Still, today the main color is pure, without half measures, red. For inspiration, we offer a fresh and very beautiful shot from Vogue Japan with several accents on the cheekbones, eyes and lips.
Why do you need it
More recently, the red and its closest relatives - pink and wine - the road was closed due to the effect of "tear-stained eyes." However, times have changed: on the one hand, the skills of the average user have advanced, on the other - ideas about the functions of makeup. Today it is difficult to call make-up in red tones protest, defiant or inappropriate. In fact, shades of red are perfectly combined with any eye color, and due to the fact that they are studied along and across, you can select combinations intuitively. In addition, red eye makeup finally destroys stereotypes about the indispensable sexuality and aggressiveness of this color. All this does not mean that the time has come to forget about red lipstick - it will remain with us even after the end of the world.
How to do it
All the variety of red shades can be found in the professional segment - MAC and Inglot to help. However, if you are not satisfied with the colors that go in brown or pink, then the role of shadows can easily be played by red blush, which are represented in the assortment of popular brands: NYX, NARS, Cargo Cosmetics, Sleek MakeUp have them. Those who want to join the story that is happening before our eyes should pay attention to the stars of the season: the mascara Armani Eccentrico and the shadows from the autumn collection of Chanel. The latter, by the way, have prepared several make-up video tutorials for those who are somewhat lost in front of the new trend. In these instructions, red on the eyes looks calm and natural.
There is a suspicion that the red and wine Smokey Aiz will be everywhere - so if you are looking for an alternative, contact the arrows, applications and eyebrows of non-standard color. To draw the arrows you can adjust the lipstick with a matte finish, perfectly behave on the eyelids and lip pencils. As for the forms, everything is relevant here: the contours can be clear or smeared, the textures can be the most unexpected. The bronze and gold, which also remain in the ranks of the main trends of the season, will make an excellent accompaniment to the red color.
