Even though ear makeup isn’t exactly a new concept, most people have shied away from trying it out — until now. Since lipsticks have sort of become redundant (thanks to face masks), beauty junkies and experts are on the lookout for newer ways to channel their creativity with makeup. This is what has brought the ear makeup trend back in vogue.

Ear makeup entails painting your ears in solid metallic colours or creating cute patterns and motifs along your ear lobe. This trend may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but we really think it’s worth trying out, especially if you like experimenting with your makeup.

To help you get on board, we’ve listed down five cute and wearable ways to sport ear makeup in 2021.

 

01. Gold ear cuffs

02. Ear contouring

Ear contouring is a common makeup trend start by the Kardashian-Jenner clan to make their ears appear more defined and delicate. And we love how this gold foil makeup has a similar effect, just a tad bit dressier.

 

03. Holographic details

If you really cannot see yourself creating intricate designs, but still want to give the trend a try, you can start with painting your ear lobe in a solid colour. It’s super easy to recreate and still looks oh-so-trendy. And you don’t necessarily have to stick to gold, you can use just about any colour to match your outfit or mood for the day.
