One thing is certain: I will undoubtedly come across something holographic whether I enter a nail salon, browse the home décor area, or try on some makeup. For those who are unfamiliar, the term “holographic” refers to anything created with shimmering, iridescent colours; it has an almost mystical appearance and evokes both antique and futuristic emotions. Holographic makeup looks have become increasingly popular, taking the holographic trend that first appeared in fashion, home décor, and nail art into the beauty industry.
Although it’s more difficult than choosing a holographic powder finish for your nails or adding holographic desk decor to your workspace, achieving a holographic makeup look is still feasible. The key is to understand which products to use and how to apply them. Are you ready to give it a try? I’ve narrowed down the best 5 holographic makeup looks so you can don them every day to add a little more flair or save them for special occasions.
Girls, These 5 Trending Holographic Makeup Looks Will Give Your Regular Eye Makeup Look A Run For Their Money
Inner Corner Eye-Conic Vibe
Keep in mind that you don’t have to choose a completely holographic eyelid aesthetic to experiment with the trend. I’ve found something really straightforward here, and I can see how holographic mint inner eye accents can totally change an otherwise neutral makeup look.
Lilac Mood It Is
Holographic products frequently have a pastel-like appearance. To get an iridescent final look, holographic makeup is not always required. As long as you carefully apply shimmering pastel colours, you can imitate a holographic finish. As an illustration, consider the three hues of dazzling purple eyeshadow used in this purple lid look. Use pastel violet, iridescent purple, and shimmering deep purple tones to mimic the holographic illusion.
Darling, Holographic Double Wings FTW!
Since many (maybe even most) holographic makeup trends are on the softer, more pastel side of things, it is feasible to achieve a shade-shifting finish with a darker colour palette too. Just have a look at this artistic makeup: Wolff did not specify the particular makeup products she used, but it is safe to assume that you might achieve the look by beginning with a broad wing of dense black eyeliner and finishing it with holographic greenish-blue eyeshadow.
Holographic Cheeks & Lids? Check And Check!
To be honest, this is my sweet little secret. And let this serve as your evidence that holographic makeup doesn’t necessarily need to be completely opaque or heavily pigmented. I love using the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerize Cream Eyeshadow in Amber Gold to create a sheer wash of holographic colour. Finishing it off with the shades It’s You and Oh Hey Bouquet from the Morphe 9P Petal Passion Artistry Palette is my go-to look when I need to get my glamm game on.
Cut The Crease But Make It Holographic
This holographic cut crease should go down in history. The way Wolff built this style astounds me. It combines a soft sophistication with a mystical charm. Use tones of bluish-purple with a tinge of greenish-pink reflecting while you’re being photographed to achieve the desired aesthetic. Let me tell you, this is the perfect opportunity to expand your creative abilities.
Which one will you recreate for any upcoming occasion?
