Zendaya-style eye shadows… lively and different

After years in which the “Clean Girl” makeup trend dominated, which relies on natural skin and calm makeup. It seems that eye shadows are returning, with force, to the forefront of beauty trends, but this time in a softer and more innovative style. The international star, Zendaya, was the most prominent spark of this return, after she caught attention, during her promotional tour for the movie “The Odyssey,” with makeup looks that were based on bright, unconventional eye shadows.

Instead of relying on heavy eyeliner or classic smokey makeup, Zendaya, in collaboration with makeup artist Ernesto Casillas, chose to highlight the eyes through luminous colors, pastel touches, and smart shadow distribution, giving her a lively appearance that is in harmony with the mythical atmosphere, inspired by the character of the goddess “Athena,” which she embodies in the film.

Soft eyeshadows… and a sign:

Zendaya’s looks were distinctive and not exaggerated, as the eyeshadows were soft and light, leaving an eye-catching visual impact. In one of the looks, she chose a light, icy blue color that covered the entire eyelid with a refreshing pink touch on the cheeks. While in another look, she adopted a luminous white shadow, concentrated in the inner corner of the eye, and gently extending towards the middle of the eyelid, to give the eye radiance and breadth.

This method brought to mind the fashion of light shadows, which spread in the past decade, but it presented it in a more modern way, relying on the distribution of color rather than its intensity, while keeping the rest of the makeup elements calm and balanced.

White color…the champion of the season:

One of the most interesting details of Zendaya’s makeup, which has attracted the attention of beauty experts and social media users, is the use of white or pearl color in the inner corner of the eye. Although this trick has been known for years, the method of implementing it seemed different, as it was not limited to a small dot to illuminate the eye, but rather extended thoughtfully at the beginning of the eyelid, giving the look a dreamy touch similar to natural lighting.

It did not take long until dozens of videos spread on TikTok and Instagram trying to imitate this look, while beauty enthusiasts discussed, across forums and communication platforms, whether the color used was pure white or very light ice blue, which reflects the magnitude of the impact that this trend had within a few days.

Ice blue is back:

White was not the only one present. Zendaya also brought the pastel blue color back into the spotlight. She used a light blue shade with an icy touch, giving the eyes a refreshing look, away from the dark colors that have long been associated with occasion makeup.

This color is distinguished by its ability to brighten various eye colors, whether brown, hazel, or blue, especially when combined with natural eyelashes and luminous skin, without the need for thick eyeliner lines or exaggerated eye definition.

The spread of the colorful eyeshadow trend:

After Zendaya’s distinctive looks, colored eyeshadows returned to the forefront again. Instead of returning to the strong, multi-colored shadows that were popular years ago, Zendaya relied on one color, or two colors only, with professional distribution that gives the eyes depth and radiance.

This trend is suitable for all ages, and can be easily implemented in daily or evening looks, while changing the color tone to suit the occasion.
