In recent years, minimalist eye makeup paired with fresh skin has been popular for a natural, understated look. For spring, however, there’s a shift underway. While low-fi eyes are still in, this season, they’re being paired with bold, statement lips, creating a striking high-contrast look that taps into spring’s playful mood: “Last season’s trend of minimal eye makeup is still going strong in celebrity and fashion circles,” says makeup artist Scarlett Burton, “but the focus is now shifting to the lips as the standout feature. Eyes are being left bare — no eyeshadow, liner, or even mascara — though [you might consider] a subtle lash tint.” In contrast, lips are taking centre stage with a noticeable wash of colour, she adds.
