We've got art and fashion in our minds right now. With the Met Gala tonight, we're wondering how celebrity makeup artists will interpret the dress code (Fashion is Art) with this year's exhibition theme "Costume Art." Our prediction? Sculptural eyeliner looks.
Think colorful, metallic lines contouring the eye in an undeniably artistic way. While the main focus of the Met Gala has always been the clothes, makeup and hair are never far behind. We can see it now: sheer textures highlighting the theme's "dressed body" alongside a bright blue liner and creative, artistic, and bold expression makeup looks! No clean-girl makeup, here.
