How to Wear a Minimal Monochrome Look (Without Looking Washed Out)
When I hear “monochrome” I usually want to run for the hills because I can never get into wearing all the same color, sorry, mom! But when it comes to monochrome makeup done right, it actually creates balance and an effortless kind of polish. The trick is choosing shades that work together to bring warmth and glow, so instead of looking washed out, you look fresh and radiant.
That’s exactly what the Minimal Monochrome Collection (Fall 2025) is designed to do. It’s a soft, feminine, glowy look that’s super easy to wear. The kind of makeup you can throw on for everyday life but also dress up when you want a little extra.
Why Monochrome Makeup Works
Using similar tones across your eyes, lips, and cheeks creates harmony. It makes your whole face feel more pulled together without spending a lot of time blending or matching. Think of it like a capsule wardrobe for your face; fewer decisions, more effortless polish. And let’s be honest, fewer decisions is something we can all say Amen to! Monochrome also gives your look a sense of ease: classy, simple, and elegant.
Picking the Right Shades for a Monochrome Look
If you’re not sure how to pick colors that work together, here’s the simple rule: stick to the same color family. For this collection, the focus is on peachy pink and rose gold tones. That means your lips, cheeks, and eyes all lean in the same general color direction, even if the products aren’t exact matches.
Same family, different intensity. You can mix a soft pink with a warmer peach or a shimmery rose gold; it still reads cohesive because the undertones match. Example would be Burgundy ShadowSense, Berry Noir LipSense, Stardust Gloss, and Burnished Berry BlushSense. Another easy way to do this is with a LipSense Cream shade since it can be used for eyes, cheeks, lips.
Sheer + shimmer = dimension. Utilizing different finishes in your makeup look keeps it from falling flat. For example, in this look it uses Pink Champagne LipSense for a soft and frosty lip color, topped with Juicy Pink Plumping Gloss for a sheer and shiny finish, and Rose Gold Glitter ShadowSense for sparkle.
Play with depth. Even if shades are on the lighter side, layering sheer products for pigment variation or adding a subtle highlight can keep your look from being one-dimensional.
By keeping the tones in the same family and playing with finishes, your monochrome look will feel soft, radiant, and alive, not flat.
Tips for Keeping Your Monochrome Look from Looking Flat
Even though you’re using similar tones across your whole face, the key is to keep things multi-dimensional. Here are a couple ways to do that:
Mix finishes. Combine creamy, shimmery, and glossy products. For example, a glowy base, frosty lip, and sparkly eye add contrast while staying in the same color family.
Layer strategically. Start with lighter or sheer shades. From there you can build up color and add sparkle or gloss on top. This creates movement and keeps your look fresh instead of flat.
Use highlight and shadow. A touch of highlighter on cheekbones or inner eyes instantly adds brightness, while a little bronzer or contour balances the lightness of softer shades.
Vary intensity. Let one feature shine brighter. For example, play up the glitter on your lids while keeping the lips soft and glossy, or reverse it with a bolder lip and subtle eyes.
The goal is to keep your look cohesive but never one-dimensional.
