Florals for spring? Groundbreaking, as Meryl Streep says sarcastically in The Devil Wears Prada. But when it comes to flower-inspired makeup, it most certainly is, especially if it involves colorful daisies scattered across the eyes. Makeup artist Sydney Szramowski created a “hazy daisy” eye makeup tutorial for BUST readers using products from About-Face Beauty, the makeup brand founded in 2021 by singer/songwriter Halsey. In just a few steps, Szramowski whips up dreamy 1960s daisy makeup with a modern twist.
The key is the Matte Fluid Eye Paint ($16), and Szramowski offers this handy tip when you start creating: “For applying graphic liner, it’s nice when it’s fresh because it’s still super liquidy, and then it dries down to a creamy, matte texture so you have a couple of seconds to play.” Keep reading to learn how to invoke your inner flower child using About-Face products.
Step 1
Apply Shadow Fix Eye Primer ($13) to the lids and let dry. Next, apply light pink Matte Fluid Eye Paint (On Pointe, $16) and paint a wing, starting from the inner corner and extending past the brow.
Step 2
Paint small dots around the eyes using a soft aqua matte (Replicant, $16) to create the pistil, or center of the flower.
Step 3
Paint petals using a thin makeup brush and light green paint (Everything Now, $16). Clean up and define edges with micellar water or moisturizer and a pointed cotton swab.
Step 4
Curl lashes and finish with Volumizing Mascara (Jet Black, $15).
Done!
