Glossy Eyelids: The Trend That Will Never Go Out of Style
Hey beauty enthusiasts! Are you ready to add some extra luster to your look? Let's talk about a trend that’s always in style – glossy eyelids. This trend is all about making your eyes shine, and it's absolutely stunning!
The Collaborative Origin
The glossy eyelid trend is a shining example of the beauty industry's collaborative spirit. While it's difficult to credit a single makeup artist with its inception, names like Pat McGrath and Danessa Myricks stand out for their contributions. The trend gained traction on high-fashion runways, with artists like Tom Pecheux and Benjamin Puckey creating memorable glossy looks for top fashion shows. This trend is a culmination of creativity from various talented artists.
Top Gloss Picks
Finding the perfect gloss for your eyelids can be a bit of a treasure hunt. For a luxury option, try the Danessa Myricks clear Colorfix. On a budget? NYX Professional Makeup's Butter Gloss in clear is a good choice.
Application Tips for a Perfect Glossy Look
Let's get glossy! Start with a primer for longevity. Apply your base eyeshadow, then gently dab a pea sized amount of the gloss with a flat brush. Less is more, and adding gloss doesn’t adjust the intensity. It only creates a sticky situation. Remember, dab, don’t swipe.
Best Practices for Glossy Eyelids Maintainence
To maintain your glossy lids, set the rest of your eye makeup with a good powder. Avoid touching your eyes too much to prevent smudging, and if creasing occurs (which it will), a quick dab with a clean brush or your finger can fix it.
Cleaning Up - Removing Gloss from Brushes and Skin
Cleaning your brushes after using gloss is essential. Use an oil first to break down the gloss, followed by a gentle cleaner and let them air dry. For your skin, again, opt for a mild, oil-based cleanser to remove the gloss without irritating your eyes.
Glossy eyelids are more than a trend; they're a statement of boldness and creativity. It's a collaborative masterpiece in the beauty world, and I can't wait for you to try it out!
