Negative Space Eyeshadow
The negative space makeup trend is all about leaving parts of the eyelid unpainted. The untouched parts pop out against the surrounding shadow to create a dynamic and glamorous look. This technique can also elicit a 3D effect. Pro-tip: the negative space technique can be achieved with the halo eye makeup technique, but instead of applying a lighter shade on the center of the eyelids, leave the space unpainted. You can also use a cream concealer to clean up your lines or remove space.

Smooth liquid eyeshadow is a trend that is here to stay going into summer as well. It offers an all-day stunning glow that is so effortless. Since summer makeup requires more frequent tough-ups, liquid eyeshadow can be reapplied quickly and effortlessly without requiring a complete do-over or a patchy finish compared to powder eyeshadows. Liquid eyeshadow offers more coverage and long-lasting staying power which means you’ll have that gorgeous glow all day long.

A dramatic eye lining technique is on the rise this spring and it’s called the wide eye colour stick. This technique is all about enhancing the colour which makes it a spring favourite. Achieved using a dash of an eye-catching colour on the eyelids then creating a bold contrast using gel liner, or even a metallic liquid liner. Pro-tip: broad lining is really about focusing on one color palette so don’t introduce too many accents.
