So it has come to my attention through some lovely Fashion bloggers that pastels are the season colour to have. With baby pinks, blues, greys and creams all hitting the catwalk, I thought I would do a post today to show how you can flatter this trend with your makeup.
It’s easy, when wearing pale colours, to make your makeup too bold, but I have one rule, if its a pastel colour either go completely neutral makeup, with maybe a bolder lip, or keep to light slate colours on the eye and a lighter lip. My favourite look to accompany pastel clothes with is a light, slate grey eye, with a pale, frosty pink lip.
I don’t feel it’s too much and still stands out enough and the best bit is you can just glam it up by adding fake eyelashes, if your party outfit is a pastel shade.
I firstly use a light, neutral base all over my eye. I use a light slate grey colour and start in the outer corner creating a slight wing shape, and blend across the lid. Using the same eyeshadow I use a fine eye brush and line the crease of lid and blend. Use a little under the eye, finish with some mascara and a nude lip, mine being a nude pink colour.
At the minute I love Marks and Spencer’s Copper Matte eyeshadow from their Limited Collection.
If you have a darker skin tone I would use lighter neutral colours rather than going for greys, keep with creams and light bronze shades.
The trick to complimenting pastels is to keep it subtle by not using eyeliner and bold lip, cheek and eye colours.
