As we approach the end of 2021, it’s the perfect time to explore the upcoming makeup trends that will take center stage this winter. Get ready to embrace a mix of new and nostalgic looks, from the 80s and 90s, bringing vibrant colors and bold styles back to the forefront. Here are seven makeup trends to watch out for:
Draped Blush
Draped blush is a technique where blush is applied from your temples down to the apples of your cheeks. It mimics contouring and lends a slimming effect to your face.
Metallic Eyes
Embrace metallic eye shadows, like gold and silver, to make your eyes pop. Apply these shades to your upper lids and even underneath your lower lashes for an elevated, shimmery look.
Wine-Stained Lips
Lip stains are making a return, and this winter, the trend is all about wine-stained lips. Opt for darker red lip colors, available in various finishes, including stains, mattes, and glosses.
Embellished Eyes
Elevate your eye makeup with embellishments. Think large glitter, rhinestones, gems, or jewels. You have the creative freedom to go as extravagant or subtle as you like. Consider stick-on eye gems and jewels for a multidimensional effect.
Icy Shadow
Embrace cool and frosty eyeshadow shades, including light blues, whites, and silvers. You can even combine trends by using light blue and silver metallic shadows and adding gems for an avant-garde look.
Fluffy Brows
Say goodbye to thin, sharply angled brows. Winter 2021 is all about fluffy brows. Grow your brows out (minus the unibrow) and brush them upward using an eyebrow brush. A clear eyebrow gel will help maintain their fluffy appearance throughout the day.
Heavy Eyeliner
Heavy eyeliner is making a comeback with a touch of modern flair. Invest in black, brown, or dark purple eyeliners to line your top and bottom waterlines, as well as your upper lids.
Winter 2021 into 2022 promises to be an exciting season for makeup and beauty. Whether you’re an adventurous trendsetter or just looking to experiment, visit your local makeup or drugstore to discover affordable products that allow you to embrace these fresh and sometimes nostalgic makeup trends.
