4 WAYS TO DOPAMINE GROOM

1 MICRO-ACCESSORIES

In the era of maximalism it’s a delight to see micro accessories taking over from their oversized counterparts. However, dainty hair accessories by way of pearlescent hair clips are not just reserved for women but served as the unexpected gender-fluid trend seen on stars such as Jared Leto and Yahya Abdul-Mateen at the Met Gala, who paired tailored suits with embellished pearlescent hair clips interwoven into their hair or dreadlocks.

SINGULAR HARDWARE

If micro hair accessories are not your speed, channel the Shakespearean grooming trend that has had a big revival over the years – the single earring. As seen on the Dior Men runways, the models made a habit of micro-accessorising at every show by way of a dainty single earring in pearl, jewel or metal finishes.

BEJEWELLED FACIAL

We are all quite aware that the world’s obsession with Euphoria make-up has been newly energised so we knew it wouldn’t be long until rhinestones and sparkle on the eyes got a gender-fluid interpretation on celebs such as Kid Cudi and Machine Gun Kelly, who sported rhinestoned eyes and pearl-ladened facial contours that brought a newfound level of fun to Euphoria-inspired make-up for all genders.

4 NEON COLOUR WASH

Nothing says “feel good” quite like a neon colour story, so take your cue from Dior’s Men’s Pre-Fall 2020 runway show that saw make-up artist Peter Phillips use neon green washes of shadow across the models’ brows, lids and nose. The addition of a flash of neon is enough to raise those happy hormones, so add a wash across lids if you’re feeling brave or keep it subtle by focusing placement to the inner corners or lining your waterline with a neon eyeliner to give guyliner a dopamine twist.
