What it's about

The competition is aimed at trained beauticians, make-up artists and make-up artists who would like to present their skills in a professional and international setting.

The liquid metallic make-up look represents modern shine and futuristic elegance. Liquid, metallic textures on the eyes, lips and complexion create intense light reflections and a multidimensional effect.

From subtle metallic highlights to dramatic chrome-like accents, this theme offers plenty of creative scope. Silver, gold, copper or chrome tones give the look depth and expressiveness and make the skin appear sculptural and elegant.

The combination with transparent textures, gloss or matt contrasts reinforces the modern character of this look. Especially on the eyelids and lips, Liquid Metallic creates a flowing, multidimensional effect that makes movement and light reflections visible.
