The Star Look of 2017: Muted Beauty
There’s a new look on the red carpet, first seen at the Golden Globes. Contouring continues to make the face very clean; most of the planes are a result of highlights and shading in neutral tones. Plum is the new go-to lip color. Greys and pink plums are visible on the eye with a light highlight on the lid, often in a frost. Reds and warm tones will not disappear, but now the emphasis is on the blackened rims with neutrals fanning out toward the brow. A key note to the look for is for one of the features to be pale, with two dominating features. Strong mouth and eyes. Eyes and cheeks. Cheeks and lips. Be careful when embracing this look. Skilled artists have applied the colors on the stars. Too much in any direction and you look like Halloween in the middle of the year.
