Turning an aesthetic theory into a universal rule. This time, the \u2018high contrast\u2019 trend aims to tell you how to do your make-up based on the contrast between your skin, eyes and hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is basic.<strong> If you have light skin and dark features<\/strong>, you are \u2018high contrast\u2019 and, according to this logic, you go for heavy make-up. If everything on your face is light or everything is dark, you fall into the \u2018low contrast\u2019 category and should go soft. It&#8217;s as simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But <strong>for make-up artists and professionals<\/strong>, this classification has little basis. It ignores the most important thing, the features. Eye shape, skin tone, bone structure, expression\u2026 Key factors that define what kind of make-up works. All that, of course, doesn&#8217;t fit into a 15-second video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@katiejanehughes\/video\/7428602409225555246\" data-video-id=\"7428602409225555246\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@katiejanehughes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@katiejanehughes?refer=embed\">@katiejanehughes<\/a> <p>Are you as confused as me weigh in in the comments below? <a title=\"highcontrast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/highcontrast?refer=embed\">#HighContrast<\/a> <a title=\"lowcontrast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lowcontrast?refer=embed\">#LowContrast<\/a> <a title=\"whatiscontrast\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/whatiscontrast?refer=embed\">#WhatIsContrast<\/a> <a title=\"makeuptrend\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/makeuptrend?refer=embed\">#MakeUpTrend<\/a> <a title=\"viral\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/viral?refer=embed\">#Viral<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\">#FYP<\/a> <a title=\"itgettingalittlesilly\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/itgettingalittlesilly?refer=embed\">#ItGettingALittleSilly<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Katiejanehughes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7428602397720775470?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Katiejanehughes<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is it a simplistic formula, it also reinforces, once again, the <strong>need to fit into closed aesthetic moulds<\/strong>.
