Makeup Series One - Playful Mix & Match
Light and Shadow Contrast:
Different from the pitch-black smoky eye of the past, this year's most popular smoky eye uses matte, non-shiny gray-black eyeshadow. It is blended on the eye socket and the back two-thirds of the lower eye area. The inner corners of the eyes are highlighted with silver-white or metallic colors to deliberately create a contrast between light and shadow. This emphasizes sparkling eyes and a lighter smoky eye effect.

Warm and Cool Color Mixing:
The basic makeup color matching rule in the past was to divide colors into two categories: warm tones like earthy shades and green paired with brownish-orange lipstick, while cool tones like blue, gray, and silver were matched with pink or purple lip gloss. However, this year the makeup world has broken the rules and started mixing warm and cool tones. Pairing lake blue eyeshadow with coral-pink lip gloss or fluorescent green eyeshadow with pink lips creates a striking contrast that draws more attention to the makeup look.

Makeup Series Three - Playful Mix & Match
New French Manicure:
A new style of French manicure appeared on Dior’s runway during autumn/winter. While retaining the essence of the original French manicure — a touch of white at the tips — an additional white oval shape is added at the base of the nail. The nails are also shaped more pointedly, transforming the elegant French manicure into a trendy new look!

Mixed Materials:
The term [mixed materials], which usually only appears in fashion, has been applied to the makeup world this year. In makeup, [mixed materials] refers to combining two or more different textures of cosmetics. For example, using a matte eyeshadow cream with metallic eyeshadow, or applying a powder-cream blush as a base and then brushing on a pearlized powder blush. By layering these textures, a multi-layered color effect is achieved.
