The Cat eyes angry sister? The Triangle Eye Shadow first made a splash on the New York Fashion runways and backstage at designer Derek Lam. For Spring 2011 it's trending red hot right now moving the focus on shadow placed on lids to the outer corners of your eyes way up to the brow bones. This funky trend accentuates your eyes to an almost three dimensional profile effect. A slight move away from the glamorous softer focus shadow showing a hint of an almost futuristic alien, this is a look for the more playful pioneering woman.
A quick tip on how to get the Derek Lam Triangle Look:
Apply red shadow to the lid of the eyes rather thickly like an eyeliner, then take a white silvery metallic shadow starting from the inner corner of your eye near the bridge working your way all the way up to the brow bone forming a triangle pattern. Viola your done! Change up the colors if you like and for a bolder nighttime look use dark black (or any other deeper tone) shadow for funky graphic looks as seen in the third and fifth photo. You can even soften this look up by applying shadow only into the side corners of the eyes leaving the rest of the lid untouched as in the fourth photo. Get creative and have fun!
Although it's not a look you may want to carry into the office environment (depending on your workplace) if you use subtle muted neutral colors as Derek Lam did (see first two photo's) you can definitely pull this off for a daytime look. At best, it's a look suited for the nighttime when all the stray kitties come out to play (or pounce-meow) allowing you to go bolder and more experimental for a club/party look. Do you likey? Have you tried this yet? How bold will you go these summer nights? Stay beautiful! XOXO
