#GetHerLook: Sweet as honey

A warm and sweet caramel makeup look, reminiscent of honey, falls between subtle nude tones and mature brown shades. It is enduringly pleasing, naturally elegant, and approachable, with a rejuvenating effect. Another advantage of the honey makeup look is its ease of coordination, enhancing your delicate charm without overshadowing. This early autumn, try a subtle yet eye-catching honey caramel makeup look!

To choose a color that matches the early autumn, warm maple syrup brown is the most suitable. Put on a maple brown coat with a brown outfit, and pair it with a slightly retro caramel makeup look to welcome the arrival of autumn through styling.

Warm brown has always been the main tone of autumn and winter fashion, and brown makeup has also become a regular trend in autumn and winter makeup! In 2019, various fashion units have all chosen to ally with brown makeup, but what’s different is that the deep brown of the past has been replaced by a touch of light and saturated caramel color. On the fashion runways of Kate Spade and Luisa Beccaria, you may also find the shadow of caramel makeup, both using caramel eye makeup paired with berry red lips to create a makeup look full of autumn vibes.

If you don’t love the bright red lips of berries, you can also refer to the autumn/winter runway makeup of ELIE SAAB or MAX MARA. Both lower the saturation of maple sugar color, presenting almost nude eye makeup. The blush and lip makeup also use a softening technique, focusing on the coordination of shadow contours and colors, bringing out a natural soft feeling.

This maple sugar makeup, which is more “outstanding” than nude makeup, is not only shining on the fashion runway, but also causing a sensation in Korea. One of the key figures who has amplified the discussion is none other than BLACKPINK’s Jennie! Recently, she shot the latest promotional photos for the Korean cosmetics brand HERA, and in the photos, she is wearing a natural honey-toned makeup look, without any extra color embellishments, yet it elevates Jennie’s beauty and aura to a higher level!

Asian girls tend to have yellowish skin tones, so when using brown eyeshadow, be sure to be mindful of the amount. Too much dark brown eyeshadow can make your eye makeup overly glamorous and the shadow effect can make your contours look very unnatural. A light layer of brown eyeshadow with a hint of highlight is already sufficient. As for eyeliner and eyelashes, natural should be the focus. Thick black eyeliner and overly dramatic exaggerated eyelashes will only make your brown makeup look old-fashioned.

The commonly used pink blush is definitely a big taboo for brown makeup. The cuteness of pink clashes with the naturalness of brown, creating a conflicting feeling. It is a big mistake to put them on the same face at the same time! It is recommended to use orange blush instead, or even just use highlighter to brighten the contour and highlight areas where light hits, balancing the makeup colors. This also helps enhance the contours, killing two birds with one stone!

In terms of lip makeup, there are two approaches. If you want to continue with a natural look, you can choose some coral or pink-orange lipstick, which will make your makeup more cohesive. However, if you want to look more mature and feminine, you can refer to Kate Spade and Luisa Beccaria’s examples and try a berry red lip color full of autumn vibes!
