Move over baby pink and butter yellow…it’s time for a new pastel hue to have its time to shine. Reimagine 60s makeup with Vintage Mint — a modern take on minty hues of pastel greens and blues. This mint revival focuses on the eyes using eye shadows and liners in green and blue pastel tones for a nostalgic look that was made for today.
Unlike other pastels, this shade is versatile. You can wear it all over the lids, on your waterlines or as winged liner. “Mint is like the perfect vintage blue-green colour, and you can do so much with it,” says Makeup Artist Alexandra French. Gen Z is all over the minty madness too – with mint eye shadow and eyeliner looks claiming fame on TikTok. We’ve even spotted today’s take on the retro hue on our favourite pop culture icons.
Get the look yourself using our brand-new shade of M·A·C Colour Excess Gel Pencil Eye Liner in The Last Word or our must-have Eye Shadow in Mint Condition. What’s more? According to French, the pastel pop of colour works on all skin tones: “It looks good on everyone across the board,” she says.
