Dopamine Glam Makeup Inspo & Tips For The Taking
Have Fun With It
You don’t need to be extremely skilled at makeup to hop on the trend. Having fun with the makeup process is what this trend is all about. Rethink the traditional colour placements of eye makeup, opt for bright blushes, and wear your lips tinted and glossy; it’s a foolproof formula to ace the trend.
Ditch Black, Embrace Colour
To ease into the dopamine beauty aesthetic, you can begin by swapping your regular black eyeliners for metallic bronze or burgundy. You can also go in for more vibrant eyeliner colours like blue, lavender, orange, or pink. An entire monochrome makeup look in a bright hue is also a great place to start. Think of whimsical makeup looks that you’d see in fiction movies and books.
Colour Blocking Rocks
Colour blocking is the simplest way to make a bold dopamine beauty statement. Apply an eye primer on your lids so that your eyeshadow pops and then apply a single bright hue all over your lids. Tightline your lash lines for definition, wear mascara, and then proceed to do your complexion makeup as you like. You could also opt for a bold and offbeat lipstick colour like purple or wear an ombre lip in bright hues.
Embrace the dopamine beauty trend whenever you need to boost your mood. This trend is sure to put your mind in a happy place.
