Lavender eyeshadows are flattering for all eye colors. This shade is so beautiful that it’s hard not to give it a try.
Leave it to Bella Hadid to introduce you to your newest spring and summer beauty obsession – colorful eyeliners and mascaras. Dior dropped the Diorshow 2018 makeup collection, a range of boldly-hued mascaras and liquid liners perfect for the upcoming sunny season. The luxury makeup brand offers an impressive range of shades and textures for everyone who wants to get creative with color.
The younger Hadid sister fronts the campaign sporting a few show-stopping makeup looks. Bella is often a minimalist when it comes to makeup, but she went bold for the Diorshow 2018 campaign. The model has rocked many bold looks on the runway, but off-duty she likes to keep things sweet and simple. Anyway, get ready to see the daring side of Bella Hadid in this new makeup campaign. Makeup artist Peter Philips used vivid shades on her eyelids such as neon pink, ultraviolet, turquoise, yellow and more. His idea was to show women that they can be “daring with color, in an elegant way”. In the campaign shots, you can see Bella flaunting multicolored layered eyeliner look, as well as ingenious feline eyeliner with different colorful mascaras on her lower and bottom lashes.
Colorful liners and mascaras certainly don’t get the attention they deserve. Mostly because a lot of women are afraid to ditch their black makeup essentials and play with color. The makeup artist behind Bella’s looks, Peter Philips shared a few tips for using colorful liners and mascaras. Since not many would dare to recreate the model’s campaign looks, he suggested using black mascara as a base and adding a touch of color just on the tips of the eyelashes. Another option is to use vibrantly-hued mascara only on the lower lashes. The possibilities are endless and it’s all up to you and your preferences. The idea of the Diorshow makeup collection is to show-off your eyes. These colorful new releases will for sure help you create a standout eye makeup look.
The Diorshow 2018 makeup collection includes 15 shades of liquid eyeliner and 5 shades of mascara. The liquid eyeliners dubbed “On Stage” come in an array of shades from white and black to vibrant red and ocean blue. The new Diorshow “Pump N’ Volume” mascaras come in five shades: black, peach, pink, purple and blue. The formula is waterproof which makes this mascara perfect for wearing on the beach as well as a night out. The price of the eyeliners is $30.50 each and of the mascaras $29.50 each.
Although many of us have the impression that the eyeliner has been around forever, the truth is a bit different. Before the 1920s ladies had no clue about this makeup technique. Imagine not knowing about a fierce cat eye and not making it a part of your everyday routine. This makeup product made its debut at the beginning of the 20s. Until then women had a different perspective on using beauty products. In the 1910s makeup was mostly natural. It was an era of Victorian looks, that slowly started fading away. The following period was strongly influenced by entertainers such as actresses, singers, and performers. Find out more about the history of the eyeliner in the video below.
During the first decade of eyeliner, women opted for dramatic looks. This is the time when they experimented with loads of makeup and created statement appearances. The liner soon became their favorite product. A smudgy kohl trend was all over the lids of every single lady. Large cosmetic companies such as Max Factor and Revlon earned big time during this period.
The ’40s completely change the game on how women perceived the eyeliner. Now it wasn’t used only to enhance their eyes. There was a time in this decade when ladies experienced a shortage of stockings during World War 2. So they were clever enough to create an illusion of seams on the back of their legs. Women used an eyeliner to draw a thin black line for those purposes.

If you are ’80s child, you probably remember how much color these years involved. Starting from vibrant outfits, to colorful makeup looks, it was all about standing out. Nothing gives such a dramatic effect as vivid eyeshadows and cat liners. This was a decade full of experiments. Each lady wanted to try new shades such as blue, green, yellow and even add a little bit of glitter. And they didn’t save on eyeliner either. Women from all around the world created striking looks for all occasions. Some of those were done with a black eyeliner and a colorful eyeshadow, while others used liners in different hues. Today you will find this trend tacky or too much for your taste. But at that time more was more.

These days thanks to the innovative makeup artists and the diverse trends in the beauty industry you can rock your eyeliner however you want. Thanks to Instagram we are all encouraged to use more color, shapes, and sparkle.
Winged eyeliner is the perfect way to accent your eyes. It is also the oldest makeup trick that icons used back in the day. Today there are many variations of the infamous cat eye. This makeup look can be elegant, sophisticated, or edgy. It all depends on how you do it. The combination of a precise feline flick and red lips is classic. Nowadays makeup artists are getting so creative and are reinventing it in many different ways.
Every woman has probably tried the black winged liner. Sometimes can be hard to do such a precise wing. But after some practice and simple tutorials, you will be able to nail it. If you are already bored with it, you can experiment with different shapes and colors.
Zoe Kravitz made a strong case for the graphic eyeliner. The famous actress doesn’t need a celebrity makeup artist to do her looks. Zoe proved to be great at doing her makeup. For a Saint Laurent show in Paris this March she showed off her incredible skills at glamming up without any help. Kravitz is the ambassador of the brand, so she used the products of their beauty line. She is known for her contemporary style, both in fashion and in makeup. That is why instead of going with the classic winged eyeliner, the actress decided to do something different. She started out with a simple liner and extended it across her crease. To escape from the ordinary Zoe added a tiny dot at the angle of the eyeliner.
Vanessa Hudgens brought all the drama to this year’s VMAs in August. The singer loves daring makeup looks and bold colors. She is also one of the rare celebs that can pull them off. For the event, she went with an all-red look, from head to toes. And probably the best thing about her appearance was the stunning glittery red eyeliner. It was the first thing that everyone noticed. Vanessa managed to score one of the most talked-about cat eyes in the last few years. Hudgens kept the rest of her makeup simple and let the winged liner do all the talking. With such an eye-catching combination of red and sparkles, she didn’t need more drama.

Celebrities are making a case for blue eyeshadow. This is one of the boldest trends so far. While some prefer to do natural, barely-there looks, there are also ladies who want all the attention. By including a blue eyeshadow, you will most certainly get that effect.
There are many different ways to flaunt a blue makeup look. The first and easiest one is to include a fun cat eyeliner in any shade of blue. That is how Jessica Biel and Jennifer Hudson added a real dramatic vibe to their makeup. These looks are easy to recreate. Chloe Moretz, on the other hand, went all the way in with an aquamarine upper-liner and under-liner.
Emily Ratajkowski and makeup artist Hung Vanngo took the dark blue cat eye to a whole new level. For last year’s Emmy Awards, Emily debuted dramatic teal lids. For this mermaid-inspired look, Hung mixed several different shades of blue. In the inner corner of the eyes, Vanngo added a soft shimmery white eyeshadow to ease the strong effect of the darker hues. From there the shades slowly graduated towards a very dark blue one, and he managed to create an ideal ombre effect. Since her eyes were in the spotlight, Emily opted for a nude lipstick. Her hair was sleeked back to perfection, to reveal her face and to put all the focus on the makeup.
Take a cue from the biggest celebrities and trendsetters on how to pull off the blue eyeshadow trend. This fall is ideal for playing with vivid colors and bold looks. Priyanka Chopra, Bella Hadid, and Alessandra Ambrosio are just a part of the beauties that you can look up to for inspiration.
