Color Up Your Beauty Routine: Essential Tips to Transform Your Look!

From fashion runways to makeup palettes, the leap is short. The best way to spot upcoming makeup trends is to observe the catwalks. This season, it’s time to move away from the overly somber and monochrome to embrace bold, true colors. The kind that pops yet remains elegant, of course.

How to Wear Color on Your Eyes?

Integrating vibrant shades into your daily routine is simple! Makeup artist Joséphine Bouchereau from Bourjois advises: “You should tailor the color to fit your everyday life. Stick to your normal routine by, for example, using an eyeliner but opt for unconventional colors like blue, purple, or green.” Bright colors can be trickier to blend and work with, so using mascara or eyeliner presents a great compromise for wearing color without the fear of making a mistake. For those who love eye shadow, remember to blend thoroughly. You’ll achieve a translucent, subtle finish. “For an evening out or a special event, don’t hesitate to go for a color block look by applying a solid layer on the eyelid and starting with a cream shadow base to enhance all the pigments.”

How to Wear Color on Your Lips?

Indulge yourself. Red, poppy, pink… These feminine colors aren’t just for certain seasons and can be worn all year round. “The tone-on-tone of some nudes isn’t always very flattering. It’s always better to go for less dull colors that enliven the face.”

Combining Colorful Eyes and Lips: A Good Idea?

Anything goes! You should be bold and not shy away from trying because you might be pleasantly surprised. “Of course, it’s important to coordinate the colors well. A midnight blue with a petal pink can be jarring and clash too much. However, in the summer, a somewhat turquoise gaze paired with coral lips can be very pretty. It brings back the 1980s vibe, which is very trendy right now.”

What Shades Work for Pale Skin, Dark Skin…?

On pale skin, go bold with unexpected colors. “A red or pink on the lips, blue or coral on the eyes—it’s very stylish.” The same principle applies to dark skin. A blue gaze or red lips look very sophisticated. “On medium skin, like tanned skin, it’s better to choose softer, less harsh tones.” But remember, every face is unique, and the most important thing is that you like what you see in the mirror.
