Halo eyes – the glamorous eye make-up look with a 3D effect

What are halo eyes?

The term halo eyes comes from the word halo. This look is characterised by a light eyeshadow in the centre of the mobile eyelid, framed by darker colours on the inside and outside.

This contrast creates a luminous centre that gives the eye more depth and dimension.

For classic halo eyes, several eyeshadow colours are combined.

The process usually looks like this:

1. Apply an eyeshadow base.
2. Place the darker shade on the inner and outer lid.

The more neatly the transitions are blended, the more harmonious the result.
