The eye makeup trend for spring 2011 as seen on runways and throughout the pages of fashion magazines, is BRIGHT, COLORFUL and BOLD. Bright eyes are a sure way to take us out of the winter blues.
Inspired by Pop Art such as the infamous "Marilyn" by Andy Warhol, makeup for this season is playful and fun, with emphasis on a rainbow of color palettes to match any mood.
In terms of color, my personal favorite has always been blue. By combining dark, midnight blue with aqua, one is able to achieve a beautiful contrast that is guaranteed to turn heads.
The above look can be re-created with the help of HIP Bright Shadow Duo by L'Oreal Paris in Showy. By layering the colors, beginning with the darker color in the crease and lash lines, blending profusely, work in the brighter blue from the lash lines out, creating a diffused effect from darkest to lightest.
Define eyes with black eyeliner and finish with a heavy coat of mascara. My favorites are L'Oreal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black and Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black, also by L'Oreal.
Equally as stunning, pastels and bright yellows can make for interesting eye makeup looks.
With the help of high pigment shadows from Make Up For Ever, this look can easily be recreated.
Additional colors to explore: GREENS, PURPLES, PINKS... separate palettes or combined together!
Wow! I heard that there is Infallible Eye shadow that will be soooo intense :) Can't wait!
