Spring Trend Alert: Monochromatic Makeup
It turns out that the prettiest spring beauty look is also the simplest! The monochromatic makeup trend is everywhere this season and if you’ve yet to try it, we’ve got good news: Not only can you get the essentials to try it for yourself in The Shoppe (for members-only prices, of course), but you can master this effortless effect thanks to tips from Wander Beauty’s co-founder Divya Gugnani!
Wander is one of our member’s favorite beauty brands—and Rachel Zoe’s as well—so who better to turn to than Gugnani to offer advice for this soft, spring-y makeup look? Better yet, all of Wander’s products are made for multitasking, so getting the full face is so easy, even when you’re on-the-go! “I think more people are opting for monochromatic looks because they’re complementary and easy to achieve,” the co-founder says. “Applying the same shade (and sometimes formula) on lids, lips, and cheeks keeps application super simple. Plus, finding ‘your shade’ can result in a very fresh natural look every time.”
As for how to get started, Gugnani loves using Wander’s Double Date Lip & Cheek in Honeymoon/Swipe (which also happens to be the beauty product in our spring box!) for a wash of natural color in a few different areas. “Honeymoon is such a gorgeous color,” she says. “I’d apply the cream blush to the apples of my cheeks and blend towards my ears and hairline. I’d then apply a bit onto the center of my lips and do a quick swipe along my lids as well.”
For some added dimension, use the other side of the Double Date compact, a clear balm, to highlight, then finish off with a few other staples to enhance your natural features. “For a glass skin finish, I’d apply the shimmer-free balm to the high points of my face on the top of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and brow bone,” Gugnani explains. “To complete the look, I’d add coverage where I need it with Dualist Matte & Illuminating Concealer and lash drama with Upgraded Lashes Treatment Mascara.”
Try this simple spring look yourself by picking up some of Wander’s bestsellers in The Shoppe and following these foolproof tips. Not yet a member? Head HERE to sign up and unlock access to Wander Beauty and dozens of other Rachel Zoe-approved brands for up to 60% off daily!
