Ear's the new canvas
After lip art, hair stencil art, eyelid art, nail art, here is the newest entrant in the beauty industry — ear art. The newest makeup trend heads away from your face and focuses instead on your ears. Ear makeup is the crazy new trend taking the beauty industry by storm. Reportedly, this cool trend dates back to 2014, when international designer Anthony Vaccarello sent his models down the runway with graphic, inky lobes that were drawn on with black liquid liner. Since then, the trend has become a massive hit on international runways with both Louis Vuitton and Opening Ceremony having used the same concept in their 2016 shows. The latest trends being a silver statement ear to metallic gold and full-on glitter ears.
Those looking to make a bolder statement could play with outlining the whole ear instead of just the lobe, giving it a glittery, galactic-like feel for days when one is feeling otherworldly. Alternatively, one can also opt for a neater, subdued version of the trend, wherein you could try outlining your ear in clean, precise lines.
There is also a subtler option for carrying off this look — just outline the earlobes in colours like light purple glitter and create a playful and creative look.
Since the trend in itself is quite bold, while experimenting with it just skip your earrings and let the makeup speak for itself. Sure, it’ll take a steady hand and a lot of practice to perfectly and neatly paint your ears, but we’re pretty sure it’s worth it!
