DREAMY PASTEL EYES
At The T-Zone, we’re firm believers in the power of colour, *especially* once winter sets in. Whether it’s popping on a bold lipstick or adding a coloured liner to your beauty arsenal, a hint of tint can add a nice dose of cheer on a cold grey day.
The latest colour trend we’re experimenting with is pretty pastels worn on the eyes. A minty green liner, à la our gorge model Claire here, or a swipe of pale pink or lavender eyeshadow is nothing short of ☁️ dreamy ☁️. Pastel eyes are also red carpet approved thanks to rising stars like Laura Harrier and Lucy Boynton. Tempted to try the look yourself? Here’s a hot tip: the key to making this trend appear sophisticated (and not teenybopper) is paring down the rest of your makeup. A bit of nude or neutral lipstick and a touch of colour on your cheeks will pull the whole look together while keeping the focus on your eyes.
