The best bold eye make-up when wearing a mask
Wearing a face mask draws attention to the eyes instantly. So adapt your regime with the game-changing mascaras, liners and brow products to up your make-up game instantly.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE EYES
Wearing a face mask instantly draws attention to the eyes, so we need to adapt our cosmetics regime accordingly.
In Hong Kong, masks are a familiar sight and beauty brands like Tom Ford Beauty, Shu Uemura and Chanel have been designing eyeshadow looks that integrate the mask into the whole make-up style.
It won’t be long until they are here. Margaux Caron, a Global Beauty Analyst who works with Mintel, told The Telegraph: 'Categories such as eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow and brow products will see an increase in usage while the bottom half of the face remains hidden.'
If you need some inspiration or a brilliant how-to, check out Chanel make-up artist, Lucia Pica, who has created the easiest smoky eye tutorial here on actress Kristen Stewart, along with the game-changing mascaras, liners and brow products to step up your eye make-up.
