Berry tones are emerging as a prominent makeup trend for the warmer months. Deep, rich hues like raspberry and plum are moving beyond the lips and incorporating themselves into the entire makeup look.
For lips and cheeks, a natural, stained effect is the desired aesthetic. Lip stains are recommended for achieving a subtle, "bitten lip" look, while balm blushes offer a light touch of color without a heavy application.
Eye makeup offers opportunities for experimentation. Berry-toned eyeshadow provides a bold statement, while a single-shade wash offers a simple yet striking night look. For a daring approach, a fresh-faced look can be achieved by gently applying face oil, complemented by a burgundy cat-eye eyeliner.
A monochromatic effect can be achieved by using the same berry hue across eyes, lips, and cheeks. Multi-use balms can facilitate this. Blending is key to achieving the desired stained effect, and a light touch is crucial. Less is more.
