From witnessing some of the most out-of-this-world creations on the runway of fashion week to wanting to re-create them on the streets, everyday makeup often falls short of the same cut-edge style seen in the fashion week shows. But with some clever tweaks, you can give your everyday outfits a runway-ready makeover. Read on to find out easy ways to adapt fashion week makeup for your everyday looks!
1. Letting the Catwalk Inspire Your Everyday Look
Fashion week catwalks provide plenty of inspiration for choosing stylish, casual everyday outfits. It doesn’t have to be difficult to channel current trends while still looking like yourself.
To begin, you might observe which silhouettes are popular on the catwalk. Are there loose-fitting, flowing garments or is it all about sharp lines and structure? Decide on the fundamentals of your look.
After that, don’t be afraid to add a little edge with accessories:
- Glamorous hats
- Luxurious leather gloves
- Eye-catching jewelry
- Statement shoes
Finally, experiment with texture to bring out the depth and color of your ensemble. Look for fabrics in interesting weaves, playful knits or contrasting prints that can bring your outfit together.
2. Making an Impact with Makeup for Everyday Attire
How you apply makeup can often make or break an outfit and deciding what to wear for a special event can be intimidating. However, you may not be aware that you can also use makeup to give an extra oomph to everyday attire. Here are a few tips on how to make an impact while wearing your everyday clothes.
- Go with Bold Lipstick: A lipstick in a bold color such as red or plum will instantly spice up a mundane outfit. Opting for a lipstick with an eye-catching shade can help your outfit stand out, giving off a thoughtful and stylish vibe.
- Cat Eye Makeup: An easy way to create a dramatic look is by creating an eye-catching cat eye liner. Using a felt-tip or liquid eyeliner, slowly draw a thin line from the corner of your eyes to the end of your eyebrow, and you can also adjust the thickness accordingly. This will be sure to bring out your eyes and help your otherwise plain clothing look all the more fancy.
Make Use of Eyeshadow: To add a bit of sparkle to a regular outfit, try applying a brighter eyeshadow. You can opt for bright colors such as pink, orange, and yellow to enhance your look. If you’re feeling wild, try a metallic eyeshadow for a cool and chic appearance.
Using makeup to add flair to your regular attire can help take your outfit to the next level. Be sure to give these ideas a try for your next day out!
