What Does The Look Entail?
Angel eye makeup entails in its literal form applying white eyeliner or eyeshadow, but it doesn’t have to be limited to one colour. The classic angel eye makeup trend involves using the colour white but since not everyone is comfortable wearing the stark white hue, we’re seeing a lot of fashion girls swapping it with colourful-yet-frosted hues such as sky blue, bright lilacs, mint green, and more. Just ensure you opt for a hue that has an ethereal, airy vibe to it, ideally with a glossy, shimmery, or glitter finish. Here’s a step-by-step guide to trying the trend.
What Does The Look Entail?
Step 1: Prime Your Lids
Smear an eyeshadow all over your lids to increase the lasting power of your eye makeup.
Step 2: Boost Brightness
Grab a concealer that’s a couple of shades lighter than your natural skin tone and apply it across your lids. This will make your eyeshadow pop.
Step 3: Sweep On An Eyeshadow
Load the eyeshadow shade of your choice on an eyeshadow brush and apply it all over your lids. You can apply a single swipe of bright eyeshadow with as little or as much saturation as you’d like. The beauty of the angel eye makeup trend lies in its simplicity. It just required one eyeshadow hue rather than blending two or more shades. Plus, you can pair it with a minimal, cleaner aesthetic or a full-blown glamm.
Step 4: Gloss On, Worries Gone!
To up the ante on the glamour front, top it off with a clear gloss. You can use Aquaphor Healing Ointment for this purpose. Alternatively, applying a thin coat of shimmery shadow will also do the trick.
Prepare to hear lots of, “Wow! Your Eyes!”
