7 Monochrome Makeup Looks to Try in 2021
The monochromatic makeup trend is the most favored among celebrities and everyday people alike. With the use of the same color palette for your lips, eyes, and cheeks, going monochrome is the best for creating a cohesive and harmonious feel. This beauty technique works for any season and you don’t need to be an expert to pull it off. Simply choose products within your desired shade range and apply them to accentuate your facial traits, even using the same product on two, or even all three areas for a better monochromatic effect. Depending on the tones you prefer, you can either go for a fresh rosy pink theme or a ‘90s-inspired rich brown vibe. Here are seven ways to wear the monochromatic makeup trend to try this year.
Bold Orange
This burnt orange monochromatic makeup look is not for the faint of heart. These intense orange undertones will warm your skin while standing out.
Peachy Dreams
Makeup artist Hung Vanngo gives us a lesson in peach-hued makeup. If you are looking to boost your skin's warmth but don't want to go fully bronze, opt for a slightly brighter peach-colored shades, the orangey-pink can look good on any skin tone.
Deep Berry
Makeup pro Katie Jane Hughes used a lip pigment in a dark berry shade on her lips, cheeks, and as eyeliner for this monochrome moment, showing that you shouldn't be afraid to experiment with your products.
Warm Rose
The timeless, warm rose monochromatic look is still a favorite for its simplicity. A rosy blush followed by a soft pink shadow and lip will instantly make your makeup feel elevated yet harmonious.
Rich Brown
Makeup artist Patrick Ta is a pro at recreating a full monochromatic '90s makeup moment. With a color play of deep shades of brown and a smokey eye effect, the dramatic sultry brown look is anything but boring.
Purple Pop
If you want to take the color saturation up a notch, try this intense, bright purple moment that singer Lizzo is rocking.
Nude Neutrals
Soft, bronze neutrals that are glowy, but not golden, soft, but not quite pink, are perfect for a nude look like the one actress Zoë Kravitz is sporting on her eyes, lips, and cheeks.
