When it comes to makeup, the devil is in the details. A winged-liner with clean lines can make your feline eyes look extra sharp, while a red lip with blurred edges lends an effortless air to a bold colour that often requires precision – just take notes from French It-girl Jeanne Damas. Well, the latest Instagram beauty trend to prove this point is one that’s been around for aeons, apparently. It’s none other than inner eye strobing.
Highlighter is an essential for when you wanna glow up, which is why we’ll often dab and blend them onto the high points of our face. But we really gotta agree with Refinery29 on this – use a highlighter on the inner corners of your eyes is the easiest way to add a tinge of cool to your everyday makeup routine. All you need to do is grab a highlighter or an iridescent eyeshadow shade and blend away at the corners. You may be emphasising that tiny area of your face, but it sure makes a huge statement, especially if you opt for an eye-popping colour.
You might not notice right away, but the trick doesn’t just draw attention to your eyes, it brightens them and makes them appear more awake, too. And hey, it looks awesome paired with the upside-down eye makeup trend. The clever fashion-forward technique is one that’s been favoured by plenty of makeup artists in the business for a long time now, but it wasn’t until recently that the trend gained a little more traction, and now beauty enthusiasts have collectively fallen in love with it. We’re definitely taken with this genius tip as well, since we can finally put those neglected shades in the eyeshadow palette to good use.
