You've always thought pink and red are staple shades for lips - right? So did we - until we saw them making their way onto eyelids this season. From deep, dark rosy hues or a light whisper of colour across the lids to a simple bold liner look, the pinks and reds are very firmly entrenched as the latest eye trend. And while it was little bit of shock to the system at first, we now have to admit that some of the rosy eye looks are not only ranking high up on the prettiness charts but are also incredibly striking to wear. And the big bonus - these rosy hues are very kind to darker skin tones.
However, these eyeshadow hues are a little scarce locally - but that should not stop all of us beauty passionistas. Just like the makeup 'artiste' pros, we will go into true multi-tasking mode and just raid our blush, liner and lip collection to zero in on the right shade...
The Pinks
While the pink eye trend looks the easiest (after all, we've all been using pinks to highlight and accent for many years), its actually the shade which can go the most wrong. That's because you have to find the right pink for your skin tone. A blue pink will not work on warm, olive skins and skin with a red/blue undertone will not like a yellow based, pinky hue. But once you get it right, it's prettiness personified. Try a pink liner swept across the top lash line for a bold graphic look, mix blush with a little lip balm for bright shiny lids, or a grey smoky eye with a pop of pink on the lids.
