11. The Abstract Watercolor Canvas
For the artistic soul, treat your face as an open canvas with an abstract watercolor makeup look. This style is incredibly creative, unique, and impossible to mess up because imperfection is the goal. Start with a clean, satin-finish base and minimal brow makeup to keep the focus entirely on the washes of color.
Using water-activated face paints or highly pigmented cream shadows mixed with a mixing medium, mimic the fluid, bleeding effect of watercolors. Softly sweep pastel shades of lavender, mint green, sky blue, and baby pink across your eyes, temples, and down your cheeks. Use a damp beauty sponge or a soft, fluffy brush to diffuse the edges so the colors seamlessly blend into one another. To add contrast, splatter a few drops of white and gold metallic paint across your face using a stiff-bristled brush, creating a beautiful, artistic mess.
