Selena Gomez Tries Out This Season’s Trickiest Makeup Trend
As 2019 gets underway, get ready to embrace something wildly colorful, wonderfully retro and shockingly metallic. Frosted makeup is back, and here to officially solidify the trend is none other than beauty risk taker, Selena Gomez.
Last night on Instagram, celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo proudly painted a set of minty lids on the “Back to You” singer—and they're not the only ones thinking outside the box. Just last week, more than a few New York designers sent models down the runway sporting sparkling throwback shadow shades ranging from icy blue to pastel purple.
Frosted lids and lips might feel like a relic of the ’90s, when pop stars were overloaded with shimmer and shine. But today’s tools improve upon their predecessors, making it easy for adventurous DIYers to add a subtler sparkle. Lips take on a textured, crystalized form with Chantecaille's rosy-hued bullet inlaid with megawatt diamond-like specks or MAC's iridescent glacial violet shade. Transform lids with Tom Ford's lustrous lilac shadow or make like Selena and dip into a velvety swath of light moss via Huda Beauty's new metal sticks. And for rookies, how about a dab of snow day-inspired highlighter? Here's to more show-shopping pearly makeup moments as awards season comes to a close this Sunday.
