Watercolor Makeup Is the Next Huge Beauty Trend -- Here's How to Get The LookToss your contouring stick, and pull out your paint makeup brushes. This dreamy, sheer makeup is the look to wear now |
We've got some pretty big beauty news. Remember the days when you spent hours contouring and sculpting, and layering on foundation? Well, that heavy look is finally over, and watercolor makeup is officially a thing.
What is the watercolor makeup trend, you ask? According to celebrity makeup artist Spencer Barnes it's a makeup look inspired by the light, feathery feel of watercolor paintings. While the look does allow for a rainbow assortment of eye shadow colors, the style should retain a sheer feeling at all times. Plus, it lets you play with color and explore your creativity -- and who doesn't love that?
"It's a very early, but beautiful trend," Barnes says. "The watercolor makeup look is all about sheer tints of color with a painterly quality, where the makeup is layered and watery to create sheer transparent colors." In other words, this makeup look is all about becoming a walking piece of art, and we are all about it.
The beautiful thing about this up-and-coming trend is you can rock the look pretty much anywhere. The fun style can be a great daytime look, nightclub face or even your Sunday brunch makeup. "The watercolor makeup look has a sweetness and femininity to it," Barnes says. "So it works for a lot of occasions."
