Trends in eye makeup techniques and application

Overview

Professional makeup artists and cosmetology experts have highlighted various techniques for enhancing eye appearance, such as using light-colored shadows like ivory or champagne beneath the eyebrow arch to create illumination. The use of eyeshadow sticks from brands like Fenty Beauty and Rare Beauty has also been noted for their convenience in achieving looks ranging from subtle shimmer to smokey eyes.

More recently, beauty trends on TikTok have popularized specific methods such as ‘eye maxxing,’ which applies color theory to enhance natural eye color through contrasting shades. Additionally, viral hacks include using folded round cotton pads as stencils to achieve a lifted, defined eyeshadow application without professional tools.
