6 Two-Toned Eyeshadow Iterations That Are Too Good To Resist
Beauty Girl Approved
Eye makeup can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Whether you’re a beauty buff who loves minimal makeup or someone who goes all-in with a 12-shade eyeshadow palette, right now is the perfect time to unleash your inner artist. And this iteration is perfect to get the best of both worlds by covering your lids in the pretty colour combination and then tracing a sparkly eyeliner on the inner corner of the eyes starting from your tear ducts.
The Glossy Glam
TBH, we’ve seen every shade of the rainbow take new forms in glossy iterations on Instagram feeds, runways, and editorials everywhere and this one is no exception. There’s something about the wet look that intensifies the pigment and elevates your shadow, making you look like an IRL makeup artist. Try this look to be a stand-out!
The Prettiest Combo
Thanks to graphic liners and avant-garde eyeshadow designs. Blues, pinks, and greens are ruling the beauty world right now. It’s bold to say, but this two-toned eye makeup could very well be the best we’ve ever seen and it gives the ease to combine two of the trendiest hues. It’s a subtle way to hop on the bandwagon and looks oh-so-stunning.
For The Love Of Yellow
Yellow is such a pretty, summery shade but it can be difficult to wear. That’s when this two-toned eyeshadow trend comes into play. Whether the yellow shade is too sheer or too bright, the other contrasting hue you’re using will help you balance it out. Keep this look as an inspiration and get ready to make a head-turning statement.
For A Statement-Making Look
Embracing colour blocking can feel intimidating, but this look proves you don’t actually need to fear it. Apply your favourite bright colour across one lid and another pretty shade on the second eyelid. Don’t forget to add a contrasting shade on the lower lash line to bring the look together. We bet you’ll be obsessed with this look.
Crystals FTW!
The dainty crystals are a fun way to get creative and take your beauty game up a notch. They’re also super wearable, so you won’t feel like you’re playing dress-up. To DIY, prep your lids with your favourite colour combo and then use tweezers to carefully place shimmery stars or crystals from the inner to outer corners of your lower lash line.
