The Craziest Beauty Trend of 2016

2016 has seen an array of cool beauty trends take our feeds by storm; there was strobing, baking, liquid lipstick, maximalism, ‘no makeup’, and Korean beauty products, to name a few. But one of the craziest trends we’ve come across (and are yet to brave) is ear makeup.

From the Louis Vuitton runway, it seems all the bright young things have given this trend a go. Metallic paints and inky blacks have been popular (see Taylor Hill) as well as basic white. If you’re feeling game, a wash of rose gold might make the perfect accompaniment to your glam New Years Eve outfit, or maybe a hint of gold is perfect for Christmas Eve drinks. Just take a heavily pigmented eye shadow and brush and paint away.
