Make-up trends for 2021 using Pantone colour of the year

2021 is the best year to explore make-up trends that are vibrant and edgy. The pandemic has left a lull in our lives and it’s time to brighten it through make-up. Don’t you want to take on the world with the most beautiful face? The colours of the year are Ultimate Grey and Illuminating (yellow). Both colours are dynamic and versatile, and we thought it would be great to give you some make-up inspiration using these two dynamic hues. We got in touch with Shalini Trehan, Co-Founder, Recode to share some make-up trends for the season.
The fashion and make-up world will be taken over by the hues of grey and yellow. Use the colours in combination or combine them with other colours - create your own make-up colour palette so that you can use the colours that you are most comfortable with. Adding these two dynamic colours will give you an experimental edge for all kinds of events, even for daily office make-up. These colours are ideal for Indian traditional wedding functions such as Haldi and reception.

Dress your eyes with silver-grey shimmer and mix colours to suit your style and attire. It is a flawless party look and minimal if you wear subtle make-up to make your eyeshine. The darkness of the grey and balanced colour like yellow can make your make-up look luxurious. Eye shadows can also be a great way to experiment with the colour of the year that will dominate the entire fashion world. For a simple look, if you are into minimal make-up, use yellow eyeliner. It will make your eyes look fashionable and also compliment the rest of your make-up.
Give your make-up a pop of colour, a quirky spin with Illuminating yellow. Your look will have a couture impact. If you are into a glamorous look to make your ex jealous or to be the centre of attention - because why not! - use the Ultimate Grey in shimmer. Make a smokey eye with black and grey; if you're not asked for makeup tips, you are at the wrong party.

The windy brow is a look that is overtaking all trends; you can dress your brows with grey filler. Combine the inner corner of your eyes with a pop of yellow. Your eye area is the best place to experiment with colour as it allows you to mix and match combinations that best suit your outfit. So shed your inhibitions and go right ahead and add grey and yellow to your make-up - you will be the most fashionable.
