If you’re anything like me, you also enjoy trying out beauty trends and evolving your look. However, the runways that dictate these trends often have looks that are too editorial or intimidating for real life.

Here’s four trends that have come off the runways (and red carpets) in recent months, and how I’ve adapted them to work better in my every day.

Watch: Here's how to get rid of under eye bags, according to a makeup artist. Post continues below.

The goal here was to keep each look achievable in terms of skill level, and affordable in terms of minimal purchases needed (or even making it work with what you already have!).

Trend: Pops of pastel shades.

Statement eye makeup is continuing to make its mark well into 2021.

It certainly made a comeback in 2020 with all that mask wearing, but we’ve stepped away from the dark, dramatic looks that used to dominate runways and social media to a fresher, more fun take in the form of pastels.

Whilst the images above are stunning, the reality is most of us don’t really want to have block colour all the way to our brows.

Instead, a great way to add a pop of colour and play off another trend is to incorporate pastel eye liners.

Psst: Check out the $22 eyeliner this Aussie actress swears by. Post continues below.

My favourite way is to work them through the inner corner and out into a diffused sort of wing.

You can reach for any sort of pastel colour, I chose blue because it works with my blue eyes, but the best part is you can change the intensity of the pigment and sharpness of the wing to suit your look and skills.

This one is quite simple to try, and quite frankly, the images I tried to get of me applying the liner near my eye made me uncomfortable.

But! As you can see it’s quite easy to do and the gel or crayon formulas lend themselves well to this more undone look. I used the Mecca Max Zoom Liner in Baby Blue, $17, and they have 11 other fun shades to try out.

Some other recommendations to try are: Colourpop Gel Liners, $7, Urban Decay 24/7 Liners, $35, Fenty Beauty Flypencil Longwear Pencil Eyeliner, $33, and Maybelline Tattoo Gel Liner, $14.95.

Trend: Bold lip colours.
