Spring is finally here and with it, an increase in the use of pastel colors, accentuating the bright, floral color palettes of the season.
Although many turn to their closets to bring out the colors of the budding season, makeup can also bring the season to life.
Pastel colors are a staple of spring months. They incorporate a light palette that sets the tone for the anticipation of summer.
According to an article from Nibila K, pastel eyeshadow became popularized in the 1930s. Amid the Great Depression, eclectic pastel shades, including light blues, green and purples, were used as everyday wear.
Using pastel eye makeup is not a new phenomenon, but has become a modern trend that is often paired with colorful outfits. Even without a coordinating color, eccentric eyeshadow adds an artistic flair to everyday wear.
The mod era of the 1960s further popularized pastel eyeshadow shades as a staple in makeup use as pastel and sparkly eyeshadows became a memorable addition.
Many individuals may be weary that the pastel shades could fade throughout the day, or that the colors seem childlike. But if applied properly, the pigment will be able to last throughout the day and add a colorful effect to your makeup look.
Choosing a shade out of the plethora of options in a pallet may seem daunting, but to ensure that light colors don’t fade throughout the day, eyeshadow primers can be used beneath such pigmented colors to keep them in place.
Makeup can be utilized as an art form, particularly when using pastel shades that can be incorporated into a variety of individual style choices. A dewy-faced makeup look pairs seamlessly with a bright eyeshadow color.
Experimental and colorful beauty is complementary to a wide variety of skin tones. This makeup trend is a form of expression that can align with individual style choices and be incorporated into daily wear as the summer months approach.
