This season’s beauty trends are all about making a statement and taking your creativity to the next level. Whether it’s getting your glitter on, revolutionizing the cat eye or pushing the boundaries of your eye and lip liners, this is no time to be basic. Graphic eyes, one of spring’s hottest trends, will have you running to your nearest MAC counter and reaching bravely for those wild color palettes. Brightly hued, free-form eyes have hit the runway and not only will you be snapping up fluorescent, pastel and tropic-inspired hues, you’ll also be applying them in graphic shapes to channel all the cool chicks from the 90s. That’s right, it’s time to put down your makeup brush set and step away from the blending.
Just think of it this way: your eyelids are a blank canvas awaiting the return of your 5-year-old self to finger paint away to her heart’s content. Byblos and Marni wouldn’t have it any other way. This is no job for the meticulously trained hands of a millennial makeup junkie. No, this is an unpracticed labor of love best achieved by relinquishing control.
