@ciatelondon: Colourful mascara is the way to go if you’re looking for a simple and manageable way to add some fun to your look. Simply swipe on your favourite colour and you’re good to go!

@ciatelondon: You don’t have to just wear one colour, you can wear two…

@ciatelondon: …or three. It’s really up to you.

@nikki_makeup: This '60s trend is back and was spotted earlier in the year on celebrities during red carpets (you know…when that was the norm). To achieve the look, draw an arc just beyond your crease.

@patrickta: To add an additional dramatic flair, take a leaf out of Patrick Ta’s book and try a floating straight line as seen on Gigi Hadid.

@browngirlesa: When life gives you lemons, you shall make an eyeshadow look out of it.

@rosiehw: If you’re looking to join the fun but you suffer from a lack of eyeliner and eyeshadow adroitness, try using eyelash glue to stick on stickers and embellishments instead.

@mar_castelli: There’s no right or wrong when it comes to stickers and embellishments. Trust us, this one’s easier (and much more fun) than drawing a cat-eye.

@jessicazwu: You can even use pearls to line your eye shape. Very Maddy in Euphoria.

@ellieaddis: If you find your blush collection growing increasingly dusty, create a draped look by using your blush as an eyeshadow. Make sure to start light and build the colour up gradually.

@alxcext: Good things come in trios, and so should your eyeliner. If you’re unsure of colour matching, stick to primary colours. You can’t go wrong.

@serena__adelaide: Your eye makeup doesn’t have to be the same. Jazz things up by flipping the colour scheme for each eye.

@char_barker: Or, if that’s too much for you, tone it down with different eyeliner looks that are still complementary in colour.

Fun, vibrant eye makeup looks to wear with your mask: Coloured mascara, neon hues, and more

Nothing’s stopping you

Text: Cheryl Lai-Lim

COVID-19 has set a new precedent when it comes to wearing face masks. In certain countries, including Singapore, it's strictly mandatory, and slipping on a face mask before leaving the house has become integrated as part of our new norm. In light of this new routine, the ensuing way in which we do our makeup has altered as well. Lipsticks are now reserved for WFH Zoom meetings, since no one can tell the difference between a dusty pink or vampy red under a face mask. Foundations are sadly relegated to the bottom of our makeup bags (damn you, maskne). With half our faces covered, the focus is set predominantly on what's visible: our eyes. Eye makeup seems to be the only conceivable way to express our personalities right now, but we're certainly up for the creative challenge. To light the Picasso in you, we've gathered some inspiring eye makeup looks that'll help elevate your eye makeup game the next time you wear a mask.
