Pared-back looks with touches of drama, here’s how to wear three of SS23’s biggest beauty trends …
GRAPHIC EYELINER
In a dream world, we’d wear the graphic streaks of cobalt blue and inky black seen at Dries Van Noten, or Dior’s heavy charcoal-lined look, at all times. A heavily lined eye evokes a punk spirit in tribute to the late, great Vivienne Westwood, too. So arm yourself with a liner and steady your hand! This trend is here to stay. As for the rest of your make-up, keep your base pared-back with just a hint of coverage. Image; Dior.
CHOCOLATE LASHES
We’re opening our eyes to a lighter way to wear mascara – brown is a somewhat softer and more relaxed option than black for defined lashes with less drama. Try Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes (€24.50 at www.theloop.ie), or Malteser-brown Glossier Lash Slick (€18). Or consider something more daring – Chanel is championing red for eyes and lashes. It’s surprisingly flattering.
BERRY LIPS
Instead of the usual peach and coral lip shades, spring looks featured darker lip shades. Rochas, David Koma and Molly Goddard paired light summer clothes with luscious blackberry or raspberry lips, set off against bare-looking, polished skin. We love Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet, updated this month with new shades; try deliciously rich Mysterieuse. Image; Chanel.
