Dramatic makeup looks are great for a night out or a special occasion since they don’t go unnoticed. We’ve talked about the no-makeup look which had its moment a few years back. However, it’s time for the dramatic makeup to shine. People are getting more comfortable wearing makeup thus dramatic looks are becoming more popular and mainstream. For instance, the bold monochrome eyeshadow was once reserved for runway shows but is now a daily makeup look. Some of these bold looks are not only easy to pull off but also easy to do. Here are some dramatic makeup looks you can try.
- Glossy Eyeshadow
Yes, this is a thing and it’s a huge trend in the beauty world. Like many dramatic makeup looks, glossy eyeshadow was created on models then transitioned to a mainstream look. This eccentric eye look is super easy to achieve at home. You can simply use pigmented lip gloss or apply your eyeshadow then top it off with a gloss to achieve the same look.
- Two-Tone Lips
Two-tone lipstick adds a touch of sophistication to a rather basic makeup look. The best part is that this dramatic makeup look is one of the simplest to achieve. Choose two matching lip colours and apply the darker one as the base on the outermost edge of your lips. Apply the lighter colour on the inside part and you’re done.
