Well, many people wear colored eye shadow... makeup can go either way, natural or colorful. I happen to like a natural look, but TTYTT, I'm not so into makeup altogether.

And no. I haven't seen the white makeup look. But I've only been to one wedding in the last month. Trendy heimish yeshivish crowd.

I’ve never seen this but maybe it’s not the nicest thing to post specific IG photos. These are real people and I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate being called out and mocked.

How will white look on my freckles?

Freckles are the cutest! And extremely on point. There are many trendy make up artists who teach you how to CREATE freckles. Its super cute! Think, soft brown brow pencil and random dots.. check it out! When I was a kid, freckles were how you labeled someone. The redhead with freckles. Today, it's all the rage! Own it! Dont cover it!

I'm a makeup artist in the NY/NJ area and literally have no idea what you're referring to.

Hi op, I know what you're talking about. I see it around in Lakewood, haven't even been to a wedding recently...it goes with the very sleek, long, straight shaitel look, parted down the front, lace front, baby hairs...very pale foundation, coal black eye liner, and either red or nude lips. The look is very ethereal on a girl with a very pretty, narrow face and chiseled features, but as with all trends, most people wearing it dont have the look to pull it off...so it comes out looking very ghostly

I think it’s just as weird as naturally pale people being bronzed. Anything that isn’t natural looking ends up looking somewhat ‘off’

Ok...but who says I need to look natural?
Clothing isn't natural, we were all born naked and had chava not sinned we would all still be naked.

I personally like to balance out natural and "unanatural". I'll do natural blush and lip and have a glittery highlighter and cool shadow.

What you're describing is not a typical Lakewood look altogether. More likely newer type of people who've been moving in recently. So the look had to have come from somewhere else.

Who can define "typical" in Lakewood nowadays? It's no longer a simple, yeshivish town, hasn't been for years. Plenty of high fashion here, with all levels of tznius. And the women I see sporting this look aren't trying to be modern either. It's just a look that goes with the latest shaitel trend, of long, straight, sleek, with middle part...which few can pull off successfully.

When a trend is new people critique it and think they’ll never adopt it.
If it’s truly a trend that will catch on wait another few weeks and these same women will be sporting the new look.

I don't have anything against unnatural, but I think too much highlight makes people look oily in a bad way. I love thick eyeliner and dark lipstick, or a mermaid highlight that makes you look alien; I find it weird when people do a typical, natural makeup look and pair it with Tin Woodman metallic cheekbones.

If the rest of the face is matte why oily?
I hear you on that, most of my highlights are glittery so it doesn't look like an oily shine.
Silver silver is the one color I don't really use much. It's not so complimentary on my skin.
