@shealeev

If you’re a sucker for colour, you definitely need to be following @shealeev. Her vibrant, inspired designs may be a bit difficult to recreate but are definitely worth the challenge. Boasting almost 100k followers on Instagram and 74k on TikTok, @shealeev has built her way to the top with her colourful creativity.

One of our fave looks by her is this rainbow-star-themed graphic liner. She effortlessly blends each colour onto the next in a perfect line to create an eye-catching look.

As well as playing with colours, she often uses LED lights to complete her look. For example in this neon orange look, she tops the look off with two bright star-shaped LED lights, to create the perfect rave look.

She also created this stunning look, featuring a koi fish swimming around her immaculate cat eye in shimmery silver water.

@meicrosoft

Mei Pang, or @meicrosoft, is a rather experimental beauty guru, occasionally using rollers, string or dental floss (yes, dental floss) to create her looks at the request of her followers. She, too, plays around with colour, shapes and angles to create unique designs that have captured the attention of 2.7 million people on TikTok and 1.9 million on Instagram.

This look is where she used dental floss to create random structures around her eyes, before filling in little details with liquid liner to create a shattered glass effect.

In another TikTok video, she decided to match her makeup to her nails, resulting in this striking look, with stunning blue and silver patterns sprawled across her face.

She also hopped onto the face zoom trend, but while everyone else was focused on the zoom eff ect., our attention was fixated on her makeup. We couldn’t get enough of the stunning grey and baby blue makeup designs that ran along her eyes.

@anastasile

Known mainly for her smooth makeup transition videos, @anastasile has blessed us with many great looks on Instagram and TikTok. Her beautiful looks and incredible transitions have resulted in her gaining 2.6 million followers on TikTok and 1.3 million on Instagram. The Dubai-based MUA has jumped on many trends in the past but still maintained her own unique flair that her followers love.

This transition video has been on a loop for hours now. We’re obsessed with the abstract designs she uses to create this almost alien-like eye shape.

Another fave of ours is this butterfly-inspired look where she perfectly draws the wings of a butterfly onto her eyes. Completed with a few gemstones and pink lipgloss, this look has all of us desperately trying to recreate it.

@glamgio_nyc

@glamgio_nyc is a fun, bubbly personality. She creates bright and colourful graphic liner looks to match her vibrant energy. While handing us makeup inspiration with her every post, her contagious smile makes our day just that little bit better too. Her personality and incredible talent have taken her far, seeing as she now has just over 90k followers on Instagram.

In a video posted to TikTok, she tries on ColourPop’s liquid chrome eyeshadows to create this shimmery look.

While we love a good pep talk, we also can’t get over how good this green and pink liner look is in this TikTok video. The bright pink lip and glittery eyebrows are simply the cherry on top.

She also posted this spectrum look on her Instagram, with one eye done using the colours of the rainbow and the other done with all neutrals.

@alexajdmakeup

Alexa is a fun-loving personality on TikTok. She sometimes comes up with her own looks or creates looks based on emojis people comment. We’re all extremely envious of her steady hand and seemingly endless creativity. This has led to her gaining 1.2 million followers on TikTok and 90k on Instagram.

This first look that we love was inspired by a comment. She effortlessly swiped on a rainbow and freestyle painted a few hibiscus flowers around her lid to create this summery, colourful look.

n another video she randomly chose 3 liners out of her massive collection to use, resulting in this flamboyant pink look.

Another one of our fav looks by her is this pink, purple and red one – a perfect look for a Valentine’s date.

The post Listen Up, It’s Time To Dust Off Your Palettes And Make Your Eyes The Statement Piece – Beauty Looks of The Week appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Lockdown treated us all to endless days of going make-up free and a chance to focus on our skincare needs. If you’re not quite ready to jump back into the time-consuming full face glam, these looks will pair beautifully with a face-mask and a 10-minute ‘get ready’ window. Especially, in the sweltering heat, it’s all about the eyes. So, here’s a list of 5 takes on iconic eye looks to refresh your post-lockdown make-up routine and to keep that creativity blossoming.

The Marilyn Wing

Marilyn’s iconic image is, of course, her red lipstick – but her classic winged liner is nothing to be underestimated. Her make-up artist, Allan “Whitey” Snyder, used Vaseline on her eyelids for a dewy effect, and to make her eyeshadow appear more pigmented. This created the perfect base for a thick swoop of liner and a half strip of lashes on her outer corners. Our retake of this is a bit simpler: keeping that classic winged liner, and the rest of the lid bare – bar some Vaseline for some extra shine if you wanted!

A Wash of Colour

Our next iconic look is as simple as it sounds – take a colour and sweep it evenly over the lid. For a more intense effect, you can choose a liquid eyeshadow, or use an eye primer. From a rosy glow to an intense matte copper wash – this look will only take moments to achieve but gives you an effortless look all day.

The Neutral Flick

For a softer take on the winged liner – swap out your black liquid liner for a neutral alternative. This can be achieved with an eyeliner – liquid, gel or pencil, a liquid eyeshadow, or even a liquid lipstick – just pop a bit on a brush and sweep out your wing. Elongating your lash line without any harsh tones, this is beautiful for a natural, glowing look – night or day!

Pop of Colour

For those days when you are truly pushed for time but don’t want to compromise on style – pop some colour into your inner corners. No brush necessary – just take some eyeshadow, matte or shimmery, on your finger and dab it into your inner corners. This will really make your eyes pop while staying subtle enough for every day – it’s only a small amount so you have the freedom to play around with different colours.

Colourful Eyeliner

Colourful eyeliner often falls to the bottom of make-up bags – but on top of a bare lid, a quick sweep across the lash line can add a playful edge to your look. Keeping it simple with the rest of the eye allows the focus to fall on the colour of the eyeliner – giving you the perfect opportunity to match it to your outfit – or your mask.

The post Masks Have Reshaped the Face of Make-Up: Here are 5 Iconic Eye Looks to Keep Inspiration Flowing appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Sick of working from home and feeling restless? If you’ve always been curious to try out bolder and brighter makeup looks but haven’t got the occasion then now is the time. We’ve gathered five easy-to-try eye looks for you to experiment with. Explore your neglected palettes and get creative and release your very own inner James Charles.

Floating Liner

Whilst a coloured liner would be the easiest option to complete this bold look, an angled brush, setting spray and an eyeshadow of your choice will do the trick nicely. For a more subtle wearable look, use more muted shades keeping to those suited to your eye colour. Terracotta tones are great all-rounders and one you’re most likely to have. Use your eyeliner or spray your brush and dip into your shadow to create a thin curve at your crease. If you’re feeling funky, try a neon or black.

Concealer Cut Crease

Time to attempt full glam. A technique often seen used by beauty bloggers or YouTubers but a step frequently skipped when on the go. Try packing on a deeper base shade across the outer corner and into the crease. Using a flat precision brush with your concealer to create a sharp cut crease, starting from the inner corner across to the middle of the lid. Use a glitter or shimmer shade to highlight the inner to the centre of the lid and make it pop, finishing with a transition shade to blend out into the brow bone. Remember to use your face highlight for your inner corners to tie the whole look together.

Pop of Colour

This fun idea is a way to incorporate colour into your eye looks without taking it to full glam. Apply a neutral transition colour all over your lid suiting to your skin tone and go in with a slightly deeper tone in the crease if you desire more dimension, still only applying little product. Taking a smaller brush, use a bright colour of your choice and apply in one specific area. The inner corner or across the lower lash line are great examples. With a clean softer brush, blend out and use a similarly coloured liner or brown/black in your waterline to tie it all together.

Glossy Lid

Gone are the days of our matte addiction as we enter a new phase: the glossy edition. Of course, there are many great brands that have gel or gloss eyeshadows or even general face products to apply before or after base products to add a glow. However, there is also a quick solution that in our current days of social distancing, might just be the answer. Lip gloss. Pick up your glossiest, smoothest, non-stick lip gloss and apply after your desired base shadow. To be more precise, try applying the gloss on the back of your hand and use your finger to dab onto your lid.

Outer-Corner Liner

An unusual twist on your everyday cat eye, this design adds more interest with even less skill needed. Try using multicoloured liner pens, or glitter shadows to brighten up the geometric line. Use a concealer close to your skin colour to act as a base, with a similarly shaded shadow over the lid. This will create a smooth finish across your eyes which will then be made interesting by your outer-corner liner. This shape is very flattering as it mirrors the cat-eye wing, alluding to bigger, almond-shaped eyes.
