This Beauty Editorial Is for the Makeup Minimalists With Bold Ambitions

All you need is eyeshadow and lipstick to make a statement.

We’ve seen a huge uptick in the makeup minimalism trend with the rise of beauty brands like Glossier and Milk Makeup. Though we all appreciate a “natural” look sometimes a bolder profile is necessary. This beauty editorial explores the idea of creating a standout face with only two products: eyeshadow and lipstick. Makeup artist Desiree Wise focuses on the eyes and lips to create stunning color combinations. For those who wish to recreate the eye look we recommend using a palette that has a lit bit of everything in it. Options like Urban Decay‘s Born to Run palette and e.l.f.‘s super-affordable 18 Hit Wonders Eyeshadow Palette are perfect for this purpose. Fenty Beauty specializes in standout lipstick shades like its recently released Poutsicle Juicy Satin lippies. ColourPop also has a range of liquid lipsticks for those who want to try out a bunch of shades ahead of the summer.

Scroll through the photo spread above for some makeup inspiration for your next event. Also be sure to peep our five favorite beauty looks for Summer 2019.
