Creating the Perfect Base for Apple Looks
Before we dig into the colors and looks, it is essential to learn how to create the perfect base for your apple-inspired makeup look. An apple-inspired look calls for a fresh, natural, and dewy finish rather than a matte look. The idea is to make your skin look as radiant and juicy as a freshly picked apple.
Using a hydrating primer is a good start to achieve a fresh and dewy look. Using a lightweight, medium coverage foundation will do just fine to enhance natural skin without erasing or downplaying your natural skin texture. For an extra touch, add some liquid illuminator to your foundation for that dewy finish.
Finish your base with a red or pink blush to mimic the natural flush of an apple. Don’t forget to add a touch of highlighter on the high points of your cheeks and the tip of your nose to enhance that radiant, fresh off the tree glow.
The Eyes: Green Apple Delight
When it comes to apple-inspired eye makeup, green is the first color that comes to mind. For this look, you'll want to lay down a base layer of a light green shade over the entirety of your eyelid. Then you can work a darker green into the crease to add definition.
If you want to add some sparkle, you can place a touch of shimmering green in the center of the eyelid for a halo effect. This will add depth and dimension to the overall look, and also give it a fun, festive edge.
Add a swipe of mascara to add definition to your lashes, and perhaps even a few individual false lashes for extra volume. Green eye makeup pairs beautifully with brown eyes, but will also contrast strikingly with blue or grey eyes, making them pop.
The Lips: Rich Apple Red
Nothing symbolizes an apple better than a bold red lip, reminiscent of a ripe, juicy apple. Begin with exfoliating your lips for a smooth application. Line your lips with a red lip liner, not only to define your lips but also to prevent any bleeding of the lipstick.
Apply your chosen shade of red lipstick, making sure to fill in any areas missed by the lip liner. You could choose a matte red lip for a classic, timeless look or go with a glossy red for a juicier, fresher appearance.
Remember, there are no rigid rules when it comes to makeup. You can experiment with the hues to find the perfect apple red for you. Mix and match until you find your perfect shade, and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.
Adding Extra Touches
Extra touches can enhance your apple-inspired makeup look. Consider using a brown eyeliner or eye shadow to apply faux freckles across the cheeks and nose, reminiscent of an apple’s speckles. Also, a touch of gold eye shadow in the inner corner of the eyes can seriously brighten your overall look.
Remember that makeup is a form of art. Experiment with different textures and makeup products to create your apple inspired look. Whether it's a glittery highlighter or applying gloss over lipstick for a juicy effect, the aim is to create a look that symbolizes the characteristics of an apple – fresh, vibrant, and tempting.
Ultimately, the key to nailing this fruity trend is to have fun and let your creativity shine. After all, you're not merely applying makeup, but expressing your playfulness and love for color and nature.
