But who says it’s important to keep minimal? Go forward and have a ball with pops of shade and sparkle; whimsical and youthful are two sides of the identical coin, no?
“I love a little shimmer in the inner corner paired with a bright-toned pencil on the water line. Sometimes I will use a pale blue color, like our Neen Side Eye Liner in shade Minty. This gives such a fresh vibe,” Lobell shares.
Not to say, that internal shimmer can actually open up the eyes and make them seem unsleeping. (I personally use Neen’s Pretty Shiny cream highlighter, which provides a refined glow.) That pale blue liner can even present a pleasant distinction on the water line—much like why of us swear by white eyeliner—which makes the eyes seem brighter.
Don’t be afraid to check the waters, however as a basic rule, lighter hues will spotlight and convey forth an space whereas richer hues create shadow. “Use lighter, shimmery shades where you want it to look more open, and bring darker shades in where you want to deepen or change the shape,” Lobell provides. From there, the make-up world is actually your oyster.
