Seven Eye Makeup Styles
That Will Define Your Look

The range of eye makeup styles seen these days is seemingly endless.  

Modern beauty is not just about recently developed or forward thinking style. Modern style these days can include everything from cutting edge, never seen, to very retro, either a  composition of new and borrowed elements from past eras, or complete copies of eras gone by.  

The world of fashion and celebrity have really collided and play a huge role in our overall beauty aesthetic...in other words what we think is beautiful at present has been shaped significantly by these forces.

Many faces, many styles, many celebrities have created a wide ranging number of looks.  All part of the modern beauty aesthetic and all, ways to express ones self, from minimalist to maven.

From minimalist to maven, nothing will enhance eye makeup styles better than a bright white smile.

SEVEN Look Defining EYE MAKEUP STYLES
Style Description:
1. Bare Minimalist

 

Over all look? Think classic Calvin Klein ad, or check out Burberry's ready to wear style for fall 2008...dramatically bare looking makeup, neutral shades, a little color on the lips.
Note* Technically, not really bare, as in without makeup, just clean finish, neutral complexion, the appearance of minimal definition ...
2. Natural Beauty Chic Fresh faced sexy beauty, that strategically maximizes definition with a moderate amount of makeup without trading natural beauty's minimal appeal...Ralph Lauren's ads always feature this makeup style with larger than life "natural looking" beauties.  MORE...
3. Modern Classic Very polished clean makeup look high on beauty definition and technical precision, low on excess and drama...Tommy Hilfiger, Izod,  ads epitomize the feel with MORE...
4. 'Jet Set' Glamour Less girlie and overt than days gone by, more sophisticated edge feel to makeup; soft smoky eyes, defined full lips, radiant face...designers that use this look to compliment their fashions?...Michael Kors, BCBG Max Azria, Stella McCartney and yes, even Giorgio Armani these days.  MORE...
5. Diva Full on playful, unabashed love of makeup, hair and clothes...  High definition of eyes and lips.  Bold confident wear of designers like Versace, Valentino, Yves St Laurent.  MORE...
6. Cutting Edge Fashion forward, slightly avant garde aesthetic but still a recognizable beauty ideal.  Anna Sui, Marc Jacobs epitomize the artistic fashionista.  MORE...
7. Alternative Eye makeup styles with a harder edge, greater dramatic expression and artistic intensity.  The beauty parameters that most of us work within, are not always evident with this style but they are always eye catching...Designers like Christian Lacroix, really bring to life this statement and the ever present thought provoking, statement making, artistic angst.
