Every show has a different mood, and the backstage pros work with that particular brief and create looks accordingly. And it’s totally okay if you gravitate towards a look that hasn’t qualified as a dominant trend for the season. This holds especially true for the eye make-up we’ve been spotting on models off-late. Opaque, sheer, powder, or creamy: unleashing yourself in the jungle of infinite (finish) possibilities could prove complicated, but the positive side is that you have the freedom to choose from a rather broad panorama of options. Cream eyeshadows are the easiest to apply, while powder formulas require more manual work (read: blending). Sporting a single hue on your lids, lips, and cheeks is also major ATM. Besides, certain products may have been born with a single purpose, but you can totally turn them into multi-taskers. For instance, using lipstick as blush, matte liquid lipsticks can double up as an eyeliner, and cream shadows on eyes, lips and cheeks.
