Cardi B Wore Glittery Magenta Eye Makeup at Vogue World Milano

Cardi B made a surprise runway appearance at Vogue World Milano in a colorful Vogue-themed Versace dress and bright, super-sparkly magenta eye makeup to match, as reported by Allure.

Her makeup artist, Erika La' Pearl, matched the vibes of the bold gown with a glitter eye in a purply-pink color that complemented the dress's vivid hues. The color saturated Cardi's lids and ended just above the crease in a sculpted but subtle winged-out shape. A dusting of pale pink shadow sat just above it.

The look fits what Allure calls an "Event-with-a-capital-E": saturated color plus heavy glitter built to stand out—or sparkle—in a crowd.

It also breaks a party-makeup convention. Gold and silver glitter shadows dominate the holiday season. Magenta, Allure notes, is "the definition of unexpected."

Cardi finished the look with hip-length black fluffed-out curls and a bright manicure in cobalt blue with a hint of purple—again echoing the colors across the gown.

She was not the only star going bold on the eyes at Vogue World Milano. Pamela Anderson, who has favored low-key glam in recent years, revived her signature smoky eye with a twist. She attended the show in a golden gown and bold, graphic black eyeliner inspired by Cleopatra.

After a few years of "clean girl" makeup dominating red carpets, Allure flags the shift back toward statement eyes as a trend worth watching.

Last year's Vogue World in Paris set a high bar for spectacle: Nicole Kidman walked, and Kendall Jenner wore her Moulin Rouge! "Sparkling Diamonds" costume on the runway.
