Overwhelmed with the millions of colour combination choices for your next makeup look? Don’t worry, you really just need one. Your eyeshadow, blush, and lip shade can all be the same colour. I call this look the Monochrome Muse, and it’s super hot in Hollywood right now. These days, you can catch celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Shay Mitchell rocking it on the red carpet. They often go with a warmer hue, such as soft pink or subtle coral, since these shades never go out of style. Plus, it’s a foolproof way of pulling together a flawless face without ever nearing the border of clown territory.

Take it from a Toronto makeup artist, the Monochrome Muse is a great option for any event, especially a wedding. It’s perfect for a bride or a guest who wants a soft, romantic appearance. If you like to glam it up, add a hint of gold shimmer to your colours and no camera will be able to resist you. People will assume you’ve been sunkissed and wonder where you vacationed for that glow.

For those who prefer an edgier style, you’ll want to try the glossy trend paired with the Monochrome Muse. Imagine having glossy lids and lips, plus dewy skin, and slicked back hair. You can easily be mistaken as a model from an editorial shoot! You’ll also make a fashion statement with any outfit you decide to wear. It can’t get better than that. I know from my clients as a Richmond Hill makeup artist, they prefer the edgier and bold look.

Whatever your situation is, the Monochrome Muse got you covered. It has a timeless appeal so you’ll like how you appeared, whichever decade you’ll be in when you look back. If you still feel hesitant to commit to just one colour, remember that I’m also a mobile makeup artist and I can come to you for a trial. We can experiment with different shades and textures to find the right ones for you.
