The best thing about fashion is that when a new year begins, social media is flooded with tonnes of new trends. The internet is plenty with such data, but sorting through it to discover something solid takes a long time and is difficult. Work your way through your make-up and discard everything that has expired or is no longer useful.
Ahead, five makeup trends you’ll see everywhere this season:
- Blue Smoky Eyes
With hues for every skin tone and eye colour, this colour is incredibly versatile. In particular, royal blue is a fashionable way to rework the ’90s matte smoky eye.
- Neutral Eyeliner
Eyeliner in a neutral shade isn’t only a trick for helping you look less weary. Play around with the colour on your top lash line as well. Colors like beige, off-white, and cream are fantastic if you’re just getting started with coloured eyeliner, but they’ll also elevate any monochrome white spring ensemble.
- Topsy-Turvy Eyes
Topsy-turvy eye makeup is sure to stand out and draw attention away in the best way possible. It’s as easy as picking two makeup colours for your upper and lower lids, then flipping and reversing them on the other eye to achieve this entertaining look. Choose contrasting colours like Kaley Cuoco or stick to one colour scheme for a monochrome effect.
- No Makeup, Just Glow
While the term “no-makeup makeup” is a bit of a misnomer, you don’t need a lot of cosmetics to have the clear, glowing skin of a carefree person. To retain the spotlight on your skin, apply an SPF-infused tint to protect it from the sun while yet allowing your natural complexion to shine through.
- Cherry Red Lipstick
A swipe of bright lipstick is still a foolproof technique to distract from the app’s subpar picture quality after a year of living the Zoom life. Pairing a traditional lip colour with minimal, fresh-faced makeup is a simple, new spin on the classic lip colour.
Some styles are timeless and will remain popular for decades, while others will make us cringe a decade from now. You just never know! But, whether you love them or not, these are the beautiful looks that will be remembered as the most popular in 2021.
