We almost didn’t believe it anymore, but these three old eyeshadow trends are back and prettier than ever.
Quattro
Do you remember the good old ones? Four color palettesthat used to be in every make-up drawer? They weren’t that impractical. This is probably also the reason why more and more beauty brands are coming out with new eyeshadow quattros at the moment.
Compared to XXL palettes with 14 and more colors, we have to focus on the basics with the Quattros – and that’s exactly what’s trending right now. Simple looks with few colors are what most of us really put on make-up on a daily basis. As a rule, the colors in the Quattros are also perfectly coordinated. The possible uses are then limited, but we don’t have to think for half an hour in the morning about what we actually want to put on.
Eye shadow sticks
Even if they were never completely gone, they have now found their shine again: Eyeshadow Sticks. The creamy eye shadows in the form of sticks can (and should) now move back into our collection. The textures usually dry in such a way that the eyeshadow doesn’t move an inch after blending – perfect in summer. In addition, the colors can be used really well for one-color looks.
Simply apply directly to the eyelid and blend the edges with a slightly tighter bound eyeshadow brush. If you like, you can also combine several colors with each other. Cream and cream usually get along very well, but it takes a little practice for the transitions to look really soft.
Liquid eye shadow
Even longer lasting than cream eye shadows Liquid eyeshadows. The liquid texture also dries and withstands even the hottest temperatures. As a rule, liquid eyeshadows are also much more opaque than creamy formulations. However, this also makes them a bit tricky to blend. Our tip: do one eye at a time.
By the way, matte liquid eyeshadows are an excellent base for powder eyeshadows or other liquid textures. With the small applicators, you can easily apply the product directly to the eyelids and also blend it in easily. And: You can also draw an eyeliner with it.
