  1. Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a Shimmery Eye Shadow
  2. Apply a Neutral Eye Shadow Shade into and above the creases of your eyelids. 
  3. Go minimal on your Eyeliner by holding the wand upright and wiggling it between your upper eyelashes. 
  4. Apply two coats of Mascara
  5. Get a natural brow look by filling in sparse areas with a Brow Liner and setting the hairs with a Clear Brow Gel.

FAQs

You know that flushed look people have after a little while in the sun? The strawberry makeup trend mimics that effect, without all the added skin damage. In essence, a strawberry girl has luminous skin, rosy cheeks and glossy, pink lips. 

Soft, pastel colors and luminous makeup – verses dark, bold colors and heavy, matte makeup – can help bring out your youthful glow.

Every trend, including strawberry makeup, has a beginning. What turns a trend into a timeless technique is adaptability. Strawberry makeup gives a kind of effortless, natural look that is sure to stand the test of time. Fake freckles may come and go, but we see strawberry makeup as a new staple.
