A series examining the outer edges of style.
The beauty industry releases thousands of colors a year, but of course, no color is truly new. What is new is how you wear them. Most beauty colors are relegated to the eyes and lips, but makeup artists are experimenting with bold slashes of color in unexpected places. Legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath, for example, gave us DIY orange eyelashes at last season’s Fenty show and gold eyebrows at Dior.
The Cut took inspiration from this experimentation, trying out lines of unexpected color on seven models. Clad in neutral-colored shirts, they wear literal facepaint from hairline to eyebrows to eyelids. Click through to see the full impact of accents of color.
