EYECATCHING

This fall we put all the focus on the eyes; make sure that these three products are included in your makeup bag - black eyeliner, eye shadows in earthy tones and, of course, mascara. Jonas Wramell, Oriflame’s Global Beauty Director, leads the way.

"Cat-eyes and smoky eyes are two really strong trends for this season," says Jonas. "Focus on the eyes and keep the rest of the makeup neutral." 


Cat Eyes
 

Get inspired by beauty icons like Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn through the eye makeup trend that breathes the 1960s. The trick is to apply black eyeliner with a sharp wing that extends the eye and gives it a sleek cat eye look. Get the perfect wing by holding a pen or a piece of paper from the nostril and towards the outer edge of the eye. If you want a more graphic look, you can make a thicker line and wing. For a softer effect, take some eye shadow on a brush and blend easily over the eyeliner and pull outward toward the outer corner of the eye. Keep in mind that the eyeliner should dry before you do this. Enhance the effect by applying black mascara only on the upper lash line. Start in the inner corner of the eye and pull the mascara over the lashes in the direction of the outer corner of the eye. This gives you the perfect cat eye look. 

Smokey eyes  

The smokey eyes look is always hot, but new for this season is color. Skip the traditional black color and go for subtle tones of gray, purple, brown and dark blue. If you want a more relaxed style you can add some punk to your makeup, a big trend this fall, and put the focus on the lower lash line instead. Jonas’s best tip? "Apply a gray eye shadow to the entire eyelid up to the crease and a black shadow at the lover lash line, take some lip balm on your fingertip and dab on the eye shadow for a glossy and cool effect. Finish the look with lots of mascara."
