“One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art,” Oscar Wilde said. Does eye make-up count? Because this season’s strongest trend for your lids is all about bright colours, loud strokes and vibrant palettes that wouldn’t look out of place in a gallery. Just a week away from the annual spectacle that is Art Basel in Hong Kong—and the throng of parties and satellite events that come with it—give your lids the full artsy treatment with major experimentation, audacity and drama. Be it art, make-up or everyday life, it’s time to play bold.

1. Abstract art

Taking cues from pop and abstract art (think Warhol and Mondrian) and expressionism (oh, hi Jackson Pollock), make-up artist Pat McGrath brought finger-painting fun onto the runway at Marni’s spring/summer 2018 show with streaky, across-the-brow colour blocking.
