Makeup trends come and go, but the eyes will forever be a window to the soul. This may be the reason why it’s popular to play up the eyes when it comes to makeup. Some achieve this by using different eyeshadow palettes, makeup brushes, and other eye enhancements such as eyeliner.
Whether you prefer a bold eye look or a more natural vibe, here are six trending looks featuring Black-owned makeup brands.
Yellow eyeshadow trend
The color yellow on the eyelids adds a warm feature to the face giving off a friendly, welcoming vibe. Perfect Eyeshadow Pencil in “Desire” by Iman Cosmetics will help you achieve this look with the right application. This product can be found at your local Target or Walgreens.
