The arrival of 2022 ushers in a fresh start and new makeup trends after the tumultuous years of 2020 and 2021. Here are seven makeup trends you should consider embracing in the year ahead:
Bold Lips:
The bold lip trend is making a comeback in the makeup world. Whether it’s a striking red, a shocking pink, or a vibrant purple, bold lip colors will be the standout feature of the year.
Rhinestones:
Bling is in for 2022! Adorn your eyes and collarbones with rhinestones to add that extra sparkle. You can find these dazzling embellishments at makeup stores, major retailers, or even costume shops.
Red-Based Tones:
Specifically, shades of orange, red, and coral will dominate. Incorporate these red-based tones into your makeup with lip colors or eyeliners to complement the bold lip and eyeliner trends.
Soft/Satin Skin:
The year’s skin trend strikes a balance between dewy and matte finishes without the need for heavy makeup. BB and CC creams, lightweight foundations, and powders will help you achieve the soft, satin skin look.
Bold Eyeliner:
A blast from the past, this 80s and 90s trend is making a comeback. You can choose from various approaches, including intense cat eyes, geometric designs, or vibrant colors like coral, pink, blue, and purple.
Draped Blush:
While this trend has been around, it’s gaining popularity. Instead of applying blush only on the apples of your cheeks, sweep the color from your temple across your cheekbone to create a shaping effect.
Lifted Brows:
Eyebrow trends have shifted frequently over the years, and in 2022, lifted brows are in vogue. To achieve this look, use brow gel or brush-on brow color to brush your brows upwards, setting them in place. For darker brows, you won’t need much color, while lighter brows should use a lighter-toned product for a natural yet noticeable effect.
Makeup trends are ever-evolving, but these new and easily achievable trends will help you stay at the forefront of the makeup game while exuding a super chic look in 2022.
