Lash Out

Trend N o 2

Colourful Eyelashes

AS PART OF the “dopamine beauty” trend, colourful lashes are taking over this summer. Pastel, white and blue lashes were seen on fall/winter 2023 runways for Prada and Anna Sui.

“This is actually a really easy look to achieve,” says Toronto makeup artist Rahnell Branton. Try a colourful mascara (there are lots of blue, green, purple, white and burgundy options available now). For lashes that really stand out in any colour of your choice, Branton recommends starting with an opaque cream base that dries matte. Apply the cream with a mascara wand, starting at the root of the lash and blinking into the wand to ensure lashes are thoroughly coated. Avoid clumping by using just a little colour and layering, rather than applying a lot of product at once. “If you want to enhance the colour, use an eyeshadow that’s the same colour as the lash to set the look,” Branton says.
