Article (news)

<p>The world needs calmness, and the color of the year just perfectly embodied and reiterated the importance of pause, introducing a billowy white imbued with serenity, <strong>PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, </strong>a<strong></strong> lofty white shade that resembles a calming space, ideal for letting the mind wander, fostering creativity, and providing an escape from the world’s overwhelming noise.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR17kRRgHb1/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=930&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2813289%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="787" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px" __gchrome_childframeremotetoken="30c7a848711f17ff9fd44d534890468b"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Being a soft white pastel makes &quot;Cloud Dancer&quot; the perfect universal color suitable for any skin tone and matches every outfit easily. It also blends perfectly in a seamless style that can be reused and experimented with many ways. However, when it comes to our makeup kits, this shade of white could be intimidating, as some products, such as eyeliners or nails, might not seamlessly contrast if not done right. To truly capture the magnificence of this calm color, we’ve listed down doable ways you can incorporate this shade into your beauty routine!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Soft French Manicure</strong></div><p>Opting for a plain pastel white on your nails can be quite challenging, as one wrong move and it could look like you just applied a white liquid eraser at home. To give it a good twist, try the Soft French manicure: have the tips applied with the color of the year and leave the rest of the nail covered in a natural-looking, lighter shade. Instantly classy!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px;display:block" width="600"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764950561896SnapInsta.to_419504699_758518408945536_5910562346517942000_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="600"/><span class="fr-inner">@cozynails.spa</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Two-Toned Hair</strong></div><p>Giving your hair a touch of white is interesting. But be careful about the areas where you dye, as during the holidays, you don’t want to look like you are re-creating a look of a Marvel character and have some cosplaying gigs on a night celebration. For a fresh angle, try a two-toned ash dye on the front and keep the rest in a not-so-dark hue. Better yet, if you’re already experiencing gray hair, why not let it grow out and embrace it? Well-ageing is the way to go, anyway!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px;display:block" width="600"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764950638438SnapInsta.to_107424621_2584108538546487_3451861503933358503_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="600"/><span class="fr-inner">@jennierubyjane</span></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>White Eyeliner</strong></div><p>Is the comeback of white eyeliner finally happening? It&#x27;s a form of unconventional makeup style that not everyone dares to display in public, as it&#x27;s sometimes perceived as risky or downright costume-y. That&#x27;s actually the goal: to look different, unique, and glamorous at the same time. Just tone down the smoky eyeshadow a bit and try to complement it with frosty shades to amplify and create a glistening glow for the party. Or, if you want to capture a minimal approach, try putting it only at the lower lash line for an aegyosal allure! Tyra Banks taught us well: White eyeliner on your lower lash line makes you appear rested and fresh!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px;display:block" width="600"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764950741380IMG_0088.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="600"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via makebeauty.com</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Frosty Eyeshadow</strong></div><p>Juxtaposing the statement above, if your kit only has cloud shades and shimmers, make sure not to pair it with white eyeliner, as it would not complement and would create a gyaru-like look. Remember, we’re trying to look fabulous during the celebration. Instead, to emphasize the glittery whites and put some life in the eyes, amplify it with a dark shade of straight liner and lift your lashes with a good mascara, and you’re all set!</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DM7JUa2RgMr/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=930&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A3142874.0000000005%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="787" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px" __gchrome_childframeremotetoken="ebe453e0474a3a18e3f6a5890f7c4907"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong>Transparent Lip Gloss</strong></div><p>Cloud Dancer is meant for sheer serenity, so we’re not forgetting the touch of transparent gloss on our lips. This is a must-have makeup product on our shelves. Not only does it make our lips hydrated, but it is also the final product that exudes holiday glam!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px;display:block" width="600"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764950857231SnapInsta.to_544105107_18403623706140638_2888384329897890856_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="600"/><span class="fr-inner">@issyandcompany</span></span></span></div><p>How are you wearing Cloud Dancer in your makeup?</p>
