This spring and summer, vibrant "dopamine" outfits, hair colors, and makeup styles take the spotlight.
With the arrival of fall and winter, a new trend takes center stage – the era of "Maillard Style."
What exactly is Maillard Style, and how can you achieve a classy and high-end appearance? Let's explore.
Maillard Style takes its name from the Maillard Reaction, a series of reactions that occur when food is heated, transforming it from raw to well-done and resulting in varying shades of brown.
Just like a perfectly cooked steak, the "Maillard" look exudes warmth and depth, even in a simple brown color.
In terms of makeup, Maillard Style centers around the color brown, using different shades to create a warm, high-class look that complements the autumn and winter atmosphere.
If you aspire to master the art of Maillard makeup, start with these key elements:
1. Earthy Tones for a Refined Smoky Eye Look
With the resurgence of the light smoky makeup trend, this fall and winter, you can incorporate earthy tones to achieve a subtle, sweet smoky effect. Unlike the traditional black-based smoky makeup, this approach provides the same presence but with added transparency and easier management.
Begin with a beige base over the entire eyelid, then gradually deepen the color at the double eyelid fold and the outer corner of the eye. To enhance the depth, layer dark brown eyeshadow over brown eyeliner, creating a multi-dimensional eye makeup look with varying shades of brown.
2. Sculpted Cheek Contours with Brown Blush
When it comes to cheek color, opt for pink-brown or orange-brown shades with brown undertones. Pink-brown blush imparts an intellectual and elegantly sophisticated atmosphere while switching to orange-brown is perfect for contouring, providing a more sculpted and winter-appropriate appearance.
3. Elevate Your Look with Brown-Based Red Lipstick
For lipstick, select shades within the earthy brown spectrum, embracing the essence of autumn and winter. If you're concerned about managing bold colors, choose a slightly less saturated texture or mix a hint of red with your brown-based lipstick.
This approach adds an elegant and slightly rosy temperament to your overall appearance.
4. Perfectly Balanced Highlighting for a Radiant Glow
Achieving the beauty of Maillard makeup requires the right amount of highlighting. Opt for golden brown highlights to illuminate your features and enhance the overall layering of your makeup.
Apply a highlighter to your forehead, brow bone, the bridge of your nose, and the center of your lips to add dimension.
Highlighting the corners of your eyes and the middle of your upper eyelids not only intensifies your eye makeup but also provides a touch of luminosity to the overall brown makeup. This delicate and balanced highlighting elevates the overall attractiveness of your look.
MaillardStyle is all about embracing various shades of brown to create a warm, high-class makeup look that perfectly complements the autumn and winter seasons.
