Trending: White Out
Hit reset and return back to basics with crisp, white makeup — and three ways to wear it.
- Stark Liner: Minimal yet impactful, wear white as a graphic liner along the upper lash line for a striking lookk. As seen at Romeo Gigli, finish off with a few lashings of white mascara as black mascara takes a backseat.
- Clean Wash: Give a nod to Y2K makeup with a wash of white eyeshadow on the lids. Go for shimmery, white shades for a subtle, ethereal feel — or lean towards opaque, matte textures for an edgy, punk feel.
- Frosty Tones: Channel your inner Ice Queen with frosty hues with white, silvery undertones that will add iridescence to skin, lips, eyes and cheeks. Apply a crisp, white kohl into the waterline to create the illusion of brighter, awake eyes.
Olfactory Buzz: Loewe 001 Woman
If smelling like clean, luxury linen is your intention this year then look no further than Loewe’s 001 Woman. This warm, amber-floral scent profile — with notes of jasmine, linen and musk — is the olfactory equivalent of putting on a crisp white shirt with its refined, subtle, yet alluring nature. Inspired by new beginnings and early morning light, it opens up with a fresh, bright opening of Italian tangerine, bergamot and pink pepper, elegantly settling into a warm musky base.
