Their distinctive features? Glitter and rhinestones that amplify the light, sinuous eyeliner lines, patterns to clouds, rainbows, stars. But still, brushstrokes of color and bizarre and original combinations, from mint to light blue to the colors of dawnwithout fear of making mistakes.
Blue, the most loved color of spring 2022
