Are You a Makeup Minimalist or Maximalist?

Less is more...or more is more. It's a choose your-own-adventure kind of thing.

MINIMALIST

Spring 2023 is for the makeup girlies, with runway-inspired looks ranging from the barely there to totally avant-garde. Whether you're all over Vanilla Girl neutrals or you've just settled on big, bold everything this season, the verdict is in: You're about to rock these trends... your way.

Make it Minimalist: Apply a soft kohl eyeliner under your lower lash line and along your upper lash line, then smudge the liner with your finger or a dense shadow brush, says makeup artist Danni Katz. This will create a smoky, shadow-like line that really enhances your eyes. You can use any color liner like black, navy, aubergine or gray, says makeup artist Vittorio Masecchia.

MAXIMALIST

Make it Maximalist: To create this clever new twist on the siren look, outline your entire eye with a black liner pencil, crossing the lines at your inner corner. Use the same pencil in your top and bottom waterlines, suggests Masecchia. Then, layer a gel eyeliner over the pencil liner on your lids with a small-angled brush to make the pigment really pop.
