Floral Eye Makeup

One of the flower-inspired makeup trends that often pops up is floral eye makeup. Whether you go for a simple cut crease adorned with a row of daisies or a more intricate design, florals are here to make you look as good as a spring garden. You can go all out with colors and flower varieties, or keep your makeup minimalistic with just a single flower in the corner of your eye.

Tiny Flowers

You can both use fresh flowers or dried ones, but this trend is all about incorporating the tiniest of blooms to create a spectacular floral makeup look. Pair them with a striking eye shadow or go for a natural look with neutral makeup and the smallest of dried flowers.

Halloween Floral Makeup

It's that time of the year again, so Halloween and important holidays such as Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) can't be skipped. They're both the perfect opportunity to go all out with your face florals and create a heavier look that you wouldn't normally apply for a day at work and take your skills to the next level.

 

 

Petal Faces

Don't want to glue a whole rose or peony to your face? No worries, that's why we have petals. Whether you use real ones or faux petals, they're great to experiment with when you first start incorporating florals into your makeup look.
