LYNNMALL'S COSMIC MAKEUP TREND
Fashion25 July 2016
This is a makeup look that is quite literally out of this world. Think slicked back hair with a dewy complexion, strong brows, strong eyes and lots of shimmer. Here’s what you need to know to pull-off the cosmic makeup trend:
METALLICS
Whether your metallic of choice is a warm yellow-gold or a cool edgy silver the cosmic look wouldn’t be cosmic without the iridescence of a metallic shadow.
If metallic eye shadow is a step too far, try a highlighter along the cheekbones for a subtle glow.
COOL-TONED CHEEKS
This look is about contrasts, from the eyes to the lips and cheeks the colours should pop. With this in mind, go for a cheek colour that looks intentional.
A cool-toned icy pink will exaggerate the cheeks while a dusting of shimmer will help to soften and unify the look.
DRAMATIC EYES
Channel your inner Ziggy Stardust with a strong helping of colour on the lids.
Let your metallic guide your colour choice. For instance, a silver metallic would look amazing paired with blue-grey or purple shadows while a yellow-gold metallic would work beautifully with rich burnished brown or amber.
Frame your eyes with bold brows and don’t forget the liner and mascara.
SHIMMER & SHINE
A cosmic look would not be complete without a final dusting of highlighting shimmer to the cheeks, chin and forehead.
Go for a strong lip to finish, in an icy pink (cool toned) or persimmon (for warm tones) and add shine with a sweep of crystal gloss.
