Create Editorial Looks With Contrasting Colours

For a bold editorial effect, pair contrasting pigment and mascara shades together. Think silver with red, blue with orange, pink with navy, or any unexpected colour combination that creates instant visual impact.

Contrasting colours are one of the easiest ways to make your makeup look more artistic, intentional, and high-fashion.

Why This Works
When two colours sit far apart visually, they make each other appear brighter and more intense. A shimmering pigment on the lid paired with a contrasting mascara shade creates tension, dimension, and a look that feels instantly more editorial.

How to Do It (Step-by-Step)

1. Choose your pigment shade
Apply your chosen loose pigment to the lid using Gel Primer for maximum payoff Try silver, pink, blue, gold, green, or any shade you want to make the focus of the look

2. Choose a contrasting shade
Pair silver pigment with red mascara
Pair blue pigment with orange mascara
Pair pink pigment with navy or deep blue mascara
Pair green pigment with purple mascara
Pair gold pigment with blue mascara

3. Apply your mascara
Coat the top or bottom lashes depending on how bold you want the look to feel
Use both top and bottom lashes for maximum impact
Use only the bottom lashes for a softer editorial detail

4. Balance the rest of the look
Keep the skin and lips simple if you want the eyes to be the focus Or add gems, liner,
or gloss to push the look into full fantasy glam

The Result
A bold editorial colour story
High-impact contrast between pigment and lashes A creative makeup look that feels intentional, artistic, and eye-catching

Pro Tips
Use one bright colour and one deep colour for the most wearable contrast
Match your lower lashes to a shade in your outfit for a styled editorial effect
For content creation, choose contrasting shades that are easy to see on camera
If the look feels too bold, keep the contrast only on the bottom lashes
