... Read moreHey everyone! So, you might have seen the super cute Duvalin makeup trend buzzing around, and I just had to dive in and try it myself. For those who aren't familiar, Duvalin is this iconic Mexican candy with two delicious layers – often chocolate/hazelnut and vanilla, or strawberry and vanilla. The beauty community took these vibrant, often contrasting, and creamy colors as inspiration for eye-catching makeup looks. It's all about playing with those cozy brown and sunny yellow tones, sometimes with a pop of pink or white, to create something truly sweet and fun.
When I first saw people doing this, I thought, 'How am I going to make those distinct brown and yellow tones work without looking like I have a bruise or something too abstract?' But honestly, it’s easier than you think to get a stunning 'before and after' transformation! My go-to is usually a soft brown in the crease and outer corner, then a bright, opaque yellow on the lid. The key is blending – always blend, blend, blend! You want that seamless transition, just like the candy layers melting together.
To get that perfect Duvalin vibe, I usually start with a good eyeshadow primer to make sure those yellow and brown tones really pop and stay put all day. For the brown, I love using a matte chocolate shade or a warm caramel. You can build up the intensity depending on how dramatic you want your look. Then, for the yellow, an intensely pigmented matte or shimmer yellow eyeshadow is essential. I apply this directly to the center of my lid, sometimes extending it towards the inner corner for an extra bright look. I'll even add a tiny dab of a shimmery gold or a light vanilla shade right on the inner corner to open up my eyes.
Beyond just the eyeshadow, you can really lean into the Duvalin aesthetic with your entire face. Imagine a subtle yellow blush or a brown lip liner with a nude gloss – totally adds to the theme! I've seen some creators even try incorporating soft pinks if they're inspired by the strawberry Duvalin. Don’t be afraid to experiment! If you're new to using bright colors like yellow, start small. Maybe just a pop of yellow eyeliner or a tiny touch in your inner corner, and then gradually work your way up to a full lid look.
And what about 'Duvalin hair,' you might ask? While my look focuses on makeup, the inspiration behind 'Duvalin hair' often comes from the same candy palette! Think of temporary hair chalks or color sprays in those same delightful brown, yellow, or even pink hues. It's less about a specific 'style' and more about incorporating the playful, sweet colors into your overall aesthetic, whether it's through hair streaks, colored clips, or even a full wig for a themed event. It’s all about embracing that fun, nostalgic vibe that the Duvalin candy brings to mind. So go ahead, get creative, and let those sweet colors inspire your next beauty adventure!
