This year, the beauty industry is witnessing a shift towards berry hues, with deep, rich tones of raspberry and plum making their way into makeup routines as we step into the warmer months. This trend is not limited to lips, but is taking over the entire makeup bag.
For a natural look on lips and cheeks, aim for a soft, stained effect that mimics a fresh, lit-from-within flush. Lip stains are ideal for achieving an effortless bitten-lip look, while a balm blush provides just the right hint of colour without feeling heavy.
When it comes to eyes, experiment with different berry-toned shadows and single-wash shades for a bold statement or a simple yet striking look for a night out. For a fresh-faced look, press face oil lightly into the skin and pair it with a burgundy cat eyeliner for an effective and fun way to embrace this trend.
For the ultimate monochromatic moment, use the same berry hue across eyes, lips, and cheeks. A multi-use balm can achieve this look. Remember to blend, blend, blend for that perfect stained effect, and use a light hand. Less is definitely more.
