The new year is upon us! What kind of makeup will you enjoy this year? Our meeco staff suggests incorporating color into your eyeliner and mascara. While colored eyeliner and mascara have become popular in recent years, they can still be a little more daunting than eye color or lipstick. But don't worry. With a few simple techniques, you can achieve a chic, stylish look that will really enhance your eyes. This time, we'll focus on vibrant orange colored mascara. Bright-colored mascara can be flashy and make your eyes look dull...This makeup suggestion will dispel those preconceived notions.



A chic makeup look using beige and brown tones is paired with striking orange mascara and a playful brown liquid eyeliner for a graphic look. Matching the overall tone creates a sophisticated look.


[EYE LINER]
Create graphic lines as you wish
THREE Indestructible Eyeliner #05 RAW AND WILD 3,850 yen (tax included)

A felt-tip liquid eyeliner that lets you draw precise lines exactly where you want them. It has a supple texture and a wild brick orange color inspired by Mother Earth, with a rich, brown-like depth.


【EASY STEPS】


1. Apply a semi-matte brown eyeshadow along your eyelid, about the width of the eyelid tip.
2. Starting from the inner corner of your eye, gradually draw a thin line along the lash line, creating a crease.
3. Fold back the natural line from the outer corner of your eye and draw a graphic line to outline the eyeshadow applied in step 1.




【MASCARA】
For beautiful eyelashes that sparkle with orange pearls.
Amplitude Extra Volume Color Mascara #05 Chrome Orange 4,840 yen (tax included)

This color mascara adds volume to each and every lash, making them stand out. The pearlescent orange, as dazzling as the sun, has a bold, natural color yet is somehow elegant. It creates a playful, mature look.

【EASY STEPS】


1. Squeeze out any excess mascara using the opening of the container before applying
2. Apply lightly to the roots of your lashes, and then build up color to create nuance
3. Do the same to your lower lashes, applying an even coat to your bottom lashes as well
(This is a volume mascara, so applying a primer will give you a prettier finish.)
