11. The Abstract Watercolor Canvas

11

If you view makeup as a form of fine art, the Abstract Watercolor look allows for ultimate creative freedom. This style turns your face into a beautiful, pastel-splattered canvas. Start with a clean, white or extremely pale base to make the colors pop. You will need a palette of water-activated face paints or highly pigmented pastel eyeshadows.

Using a fluffy brush, sweep soft washes of pink, lavender, mint, and peach across your face in organic, cloud-like shapes. Do not worry about symmetry; the beauty of this look lies in its fluid, abstract nature. Use a fine brush to splatter drops of water-activated paint across your face for a realistic paint-splatter effect. Keep the brows soft and brushed up, and apply a sheer, glossy lip tint to keep the focus on the artistic watercolor patterns.
