The simplest trend: accents in the inner corners of the eyes

Finally, we began to pay enough attention not only to the outer corners of the eyes, drawing arrows on them and performing complex shading, but also to the inner ones, which most often remain out of work. Anatomically speaking, our noses cast a shadow on this area of the skin, and dark circles tend to be most pronounced right at the inner corners of the eyes, so it's no surprise that this part of the face is so rarely chosen for accentuation.

However, today makeup artists are increasingly playing with light and shadow at the bridge of the nose, and also experimenting with different shapes of arrows near the tear ducts. Considering the above, it is important to start this type of makeup with careful tinting of the inner corners of the eyes, and a high-quality concealer can help you with this. Only on top of an even tone can and should be drawn trendy makeup elements.

There are a lot of options for creating makeup with accents on the inner corners of the eyes, or “mermaid tears” , as they call it online. For example, Zendaya at the premiere of the film “Dune” appeared with a smokey eye, which harmoniously complemented the bright inner corners, made in two shades - lilac and purple. The darker shade added expressiveness to the eyes, and the pale shimmering lilac helped refresh the makeup. Bonus: Emphasizing the inner corners of the eyes allows the focus to be on both eyes, resulting in better eye contact.

The easiest and most effective way to join the trend in just a couple of seconds is to highlight the bridge of your nose with a highlighter or shimmering light shadows. And if a year ago makeup artists could say that this method of using a radiant product was quite outdated, consider that in 2021-2022 they breathed new life into it!

In addition, shimmer shadows, metallic eyeliners, glitter, face stickers and other shiny products and decorative elements are ideal for festive makeup for a corporate event, party or New Year's Eve, so using them this winter is a must do, even if you are not a professional makeup artist . Silver and golden shades are traditionally favorites.

In the midst of winter, few will decide to add colorful accents to the inner corners of the eyes, but if such a step is justified by a party or creative New Year's photography, be sure to take note of makeup options with emerald, lemon, turquoise and pink corners of the eyes.
