Berry hues are emerging as a prominent trend in beauty this year, with shades of raspberry and plum gaining popularity for makeup routines as the weather warms. This trend extends beyond just lip color, influencing various aspects of makeup.
It’s not just about the lips, this trend is taking over your entire makeup bag
For both lips and cheeks, a natural look is favored. The objective is to achieve a soft, stained effect that gives the appearance of a fresh, natural flush. Lip stains are recommended for creating an effortless, bitten-lip effect, while balm blush can add a subtle hint of color without feeling heavy on the skin.
Experimentation is encouraged with eye makeup. Berry-toned eyeshadow can create a bold statement, and a single-wash shade can offer a simple yet striking look for evening wear. For a bolder approach, consider pairing a fresh-faced look, achieved by lightly pressing face oil into the skin, with burgundy cat eyeliner.
For a monochromatic effect, using the same berry hue on the eyes, lips, and cheeks is suggested, with multi-use balms being suitable for this purpose. Blending is key to achieving the perfect stained effect, and a light application is recommended.
