We all need to wear face masks when we’re out and about. Period. But since said masks cover a good portion of our faces, many of us have put makeup on hold. Especially since we’ve been stuck at home. (Although we sometimes swipe on some lipstick for a Zoom call.) Our lips may be hidden by our masks, but our eyes are on full display. So it wasn’t surprising to see the Spring 2021 collections offering up eye makeup looks with face masks in mind.
The cat eye is a popular choice, but with several twists. From negative space takes to smudged corners, it all feels so fresh. Bold shadows are trending as well. Think blue, red, pink and green applied on lids, beneath eyebrows and extended out to hairlines. Swipes of strategic mascara were also spotted.
Ready to up your eye makeup game? Here are the best eye makeup looks to flaunt while wearing your favorite face mask.
