How to Get the Best Monochromatic Makeup Look?
If you are focusing on your eyeshadow or lipstick and looking for a new trend then the bold monochromatic makeup-up look is back. Read on to find how to apply monochromatic makeup and look fabulous.
It might seem a bit counterintuitive to pick a look based on one color when so many of you’ll have tons of colored pigment eyeshadow palettes laying around. But monochrome makeup is something really cool and editorial as well as has a simple and elegant concept attached to it. Not only is monochrome makeup attractive but it is easy and time-saving and you can multitask your products to get the ideal match of color between your eyes, lips, and cheeks. Monochrome looks can suit your style anywhere, from a light wash of color to a bold dramatic look with graphic liner and matte lips. Here are a couple of ways to get the monochrome look.
Pick your monochromatic shade, if you are leaning towards feminine and ethereal pink like the 1980s then pick one that suits your skin tone. You may lean towards a warmer coral-toned pink face highlighter or a blue-based pink, orange, peachy tones are great for warm and modern pops of color. Browns and taupes are the 90s and glam and are ideal to keep things fresh. Look through your collection and find the shade of color that inspires you.
Matte lipstick in pink or other glam colors can be picked for a softer, more washed-out look. Press the lip color to your lips and blend with your fingers for a faded smoother edge, for a sharper edge apply a more opaque color, blot, and apply again.
Take the same color of face highlighter and dab it onto your cheeks until you get the opacity you want. If your aim is to freshen and warm the checks you can go for a draped effect near the eyes and a slightly (while elegantly) overdone application. Ensure the color matches your skin tone and is balanced and blended, then take your foundation brush and dab a little of the leftover product over the blush to tone down the color if you need to. A foundation cream in a similar shade can also be used to keep things fresh.
A pigment eyeshadow palette is a great way to neutralize the base color and make your monochrome color pop. Press the same color onto the crease of your eyelid ensuring that you’ve blended it properly especially for washed out, floaty looks. Ensure the edges are blended and the color is subtle. You can also add some compact powder in the inner corner of the eye and the center of the lid to highlight it.
Step back and admire your look, you can add more foundation cream or compact powder to balance out any saturation by adding more to the lips, cheeks, or eyes. You can even blend out the color in certain parts with a neural eyeshadow on a fluffy brush.
Get creative with your makeup and pick out the right colors that go well with your skin tone as well as the right brushes and hues. Experiment with the look a couple of times before wearing it out so you can wash it off and try again.
