Clean Colour Pastel Makeup Trend Editor Experiment
3 Editors Tried the "Clean Colour" Pastel Makeup Trend, and We're Never Going Back to Basics

Watercolor eye makeup can manifest in many different forms: swirls of rainbow on the upper and lower lids, gradient shades of tie-dye, or flicks of colour on the inner corners of the eye. For this rendition, we decided to go with the latter for a more natural approach.
"When it comes to makeup, a pop of colour is my perennial mood board (more specifically, a bold lip with neutral shades elsewhere), so the 'clean colour' trend felt like it was made for me," said senior beauty editor Kelsey Castañon. "I also always apply a brush of colour to my inner creases — it's just usually an ivory or cream hue versus pastel — so the idea of swapping that for a more playful shade seemed like a fun experiment."
Before we got started, we applied Lune+Aster CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ as a base and swiped on a few coats of mascara.
