Resembling intricate and pretty bouquets, these mini blooms are best paired with flushed cheeks and faux freckles.

To make the flowers stand out, complement them with a rosy lip and cheek stain.

To channel the same dreamy vibe, use an eyeshadow and eyeliner from different colour families

Always start with small, thin strokes, before building it up when replicating those dainty clouds. Take the look up a notch by pairing it with a gloriously ‘90s hairstyle: space buns.

Make a colourful statement with a neon winged liner. Create an elongated sharp wing with a liquid liner, before going in with a little bit of foundation and a small brush to clean up any imperfections.

When it comes to eyeshadow, you don’t have to pick just one shade.
Opt for contrasting hues from different colour palettes to add dimension.

Dot rhinestones around the eye area using tweezers and eyelash glue, or apply only on the inner corners for a more subtle take on the trend.

After adding a dewy sheen with a hydrating mist, place some heart-shaped applique on your eyelids. Complement it with a pink blusher for a rosy flush that’s both sweet and fresh.
Bonus points if you complete the look with tendril braids and high pigtails.
