Colorful Lashes Are The Next Step For Your Trendy, Over-The-Top Eye Looks
If you paid any attention to the beauty looks coming down the runway at some of the biggest fashion shows of 2023, you'll probably have noticed that colored lashes were all over the place. Prada made use of stunning, eye-catching pastel falsies for its spring/summer 2023 show — but it not the only big name going bright and bold. The likes of Frederick Anderson, David Koma, and The Blonds all also incorporated over-the-top, colored lashes into their runway shows while showing off their spring/summer 2024 collections. So, yeah, it's safe to say this trend isn't expected to go anywhere anytime soon.
One of the best things about this trend though is that it's way more wearable than you think. We totally get it, colorful lashes may not sound like the easiest thing in the world to pull off — but don't worry! Of course, they're never going to look totally natural, but if you're not afraid to be a little bold, there are so many ways you can customize this trend for the look you want. And we're bringing you some of our favorites.
Bring out your neon lashes
Ready to make a statement? Then bring out the neon! These totally over-the-top lashes aren't afraid to stand out. One of the best things about this look? They're so out there that they really do demand all the attention, which means you could potentially spend less time on your makeup overall by skipping some of your usual steps and letting your falsies do all the talking.
Step outside the box with different colors
Who said your colored lashes have to match? Not us! If you're not a fan of falsies, a colored mascara could be your go-to instead and will let you really play with your look by using different colors on each set of lashes. Just like different eye shadows will complement different eye colors, a blue will make your eyes appear larger and really bring out the whites of your eyes, while a green is a go-to for all skin tones. Want to really make a splash, though? Then be brave and try something like a yellow or a pink. Or even all of the above. Why not, right?
And don't forget the colorful lashes with extra accessories!
Colored eyelashes are so bold by themselves, so why not add some accessories over the top too? As we said, this look really shines when it's over-the-top, so there's no harm in throwing a little bit of everything on there. This look combines two shades of purple falsies with the odd glitter lash and yellow accents, as well as gold stars and a sun design. Just make sure if you're looking to recreate this look that you're not adding anything with the potential to damage your natural lashes or irritate the eye areas.
Or try a few colorful lash accents
Not quite ready to go totally crazy with the all over colorful lashes? Then there's an option for you, too! While this look is all about an overstated finished look, having just a few of your lashes in a different color is a good way to get in on this trend without having to totally commit. Perfect for if you're short on time or just aren't quite feeling in a 100% bold mood.
Pack a punch with colored mascara on your lower lash only
Really want to step out the box? Then why not try applying a bright and bold mascara to your lowers lashes only? This twist on the trend packs a serious punch and we love the way the color has been matched to the cut crease on the lid for a matching yet still contrasting design.
