Beauty Above The Mask — The Lexington Line

As we continue to spend our days in quarantine, there has been no shortage of gossip in the beauty community when it comes to the latest trends. Since the beginning of the pandemic, society has adapted to the use of face masks in every public outing. With no desire to sit at the vanity and apply our newest lip color, the relationship between our brushes and face have slowly become estranged. But now it’s time to rebuild. With the release of more designed and graphic face masks, beauty gurus have now started to pick up the brushes again and get to work. Currently in the beauty world, it is all about focusing on the eyes. From neon graphic liners to “Euphoria” inspired gems, these new looks will spark your creativity and have you rediscovering the passion you once held.

Never A Dull Moment With Neon

If you are looking to make a subtle bold statement, then a neon graphic liner is perfect for the job. There is no shame when it comes to wanting to achieve the chic and effortless look. With the help of just a single liner, your eyelids are the perfect canvas. Many have taken to social media to debut their looks by going on an artistic route to make it more expressive with geometric shapes and bright hues. So far we have seen celebrities like Ariana Grande and Maddie Ziegler share their take with a sharp holographic winged eye and lively shades of blue and pink to showcase their eyes.
