It's time to unleash your inner artist and say goodbye to makeup monotony. Trust us, a little colour can make a huge difference!
The Classic Coloured Liner Twist
Let's start with a classic: eyeliner! It's something most of us use regularly, so swapping your usual black or brown for a coloured liner is a super easy first step. Think emerald green, sapphire blue, or even a vibrant purple.
These shades really pop against Indian skin tones and can instantly brighten your eyes and give a playful vibe or sophisticated look. For a subtle approach, apply the coloured liner just on your upper lash line. Want to go bolder?
Try a double-winged liner look, pairing the colour with a thin line of black. Another trick is to use a white liner as a base; this makes the colour even more vibrant.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different textures too – gel liners for precision, liquid liners for intensity, or even coloured pencil liners for a softer, smudged effect.
Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep experimenting until you find a style that suits you perfectly and accentuates your eyes. And you can make your peepers appear brighter and beautiful.
Embrace Coloured Mascara
Here's another simple swap that can add a surprising touch of colour: mascara. Instead of your regular black, try a dark blue, plum, or even a deep green mascara.
This is a particularly fantastic choice for those who want to experiment with colour without committing to a full-on colourful eyeshadow look. The colour on your lashes will delicately peek through, adding a subtle but noticeable pop.
Brown Mascara can also be something with which you can play with. Think this won't work for you? Think again! Dark blue, for example, can actually make the whites of your eyes appear brighter, while plum can enhance green or hazel eyes. For the best impact, curl your lashes first.
Apply one coat of your usual black mascara, then apply two coats of the coloured mascara to the tips alone for a more subdued effect. If you are a fan of intense colour, use the coloured mascara all over the lashes.
All About That Coloured Blush
Blush is a game-changer! It can bring your face to life and add a healthy, youthful glow. But instead of sticking to the typical peach or rose shades, why not venture into the world of coloured blushes? Think warm corals, bright pinks, or even a berry shade for a bolder statement.
The key is to find a shade that complements your skin tone. For warmer complexions, corals and peachy tones work wonders. For cooler complexions, pinks and berries are a great choice. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards towards your temples for a natural flush.
You can even use your blush to contour your face by applying it slightly higher on your cheekbones. Cream blushes are great for a dewy look, while powder blushes offer more control and are perfect for oily skin.
Remember to start with a light hand and build up the colour gradually to avoid looking like a clown!
Eyeshadow Fun: From Subtle to Bold
Eyeshadow is where you can really unleash your creativity! If you're new to colour, start with a subtle wash of colour on your eyelids. A sheer wash of pastel lavender, mint green, or a shimmering gold can brighten your eyes without being too overwhelming.
Alternatively, you can use a colourful eyeshadow to line your lower lash line. For a bolder look, try a colour-blocking technique – using two contrasting colours on your eyelids. For example, a bright blue on the lid and a vibrant orange in the crease.
Always use an eyeshadow primer to ensure your eyeshadow lasts all day and stays vibrant. Invest in a good set of eye brushes. Keep blending till your eyeshadow looks perfect. And, if you’re not sure about colours, search for eyeshadow tutorials!
Lip Service with Colour
Don't forget your lips! Lipstick is one of the easiest ways to add colour to your makeup routine. If you usually stick to nudes or pinks, try a bold berry shade, a vibrant coral, or even a classic red. Red might seem scary, but there's a red for everyone!
Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and undertones. For example, warmer skin tones look great with orange-reds, while cooler skin tones look amazing with blue-reds. If you are trying out something really bright lipstick colour, you can first apply it by dabbing the colour. Blot it.
And dab again. This will give it a faded makeup look and at the same time, you get to try on colours that you were not previously inclined to experiment with. Before applying any lipstick, always exfoliate your lips. Don't forget to hydrate with a good lip balm. Also, lipliner is also your friend.
Experiment and enjoy!
