Trends in makeup are not fixed, considering the fast pace in the beauty world; however, the power of color is not entirely lost. Having bold colors matched with fresh techniques only furthers the transformation in the face of cosmetics. No matter whether you’re a makeup newbie or a pro artist, some new trends picked up and a few tutorials learned can help empower you with the ability to put your best face forward and show up in your style. Color Trends This Season: Vibrancy at Its Best With the onset of this season, bold colors dominate the scene. Gone are those days when subtle neutrals used to rule the makeup scene; rather, it is now time to fashion a statement with vibrant shades. Experimentation with color comes in the form of electric blues, fiery oranges, pastel pinks, and deep purples—colors that work like magic to transform a face. Neon Accents Neon hues are all the rage this season. Intensely bright neon liners and eyeshadows help to achieve intensely bright, eye-popping colors for optimal contrasts. Here’s the rundown on how to get ready to mix in a little neon: Start with a clean and primed eyelid. Apply a natural, light-colored shadow as the base work. The line along your lash line in an exaggerated wing with a brightly colored neon liner. For added drama, apply the matching neon eyeshadow or pencil to your lower lash line. Bold Lip Colors The bold lips make a comeback with vengeance from electric red to vibrant fuchsia and deep plum. Start with some good exfoliation and moisturize those lips, then create a smooth base for your lip color. Line lips with a lip liner to define lips and prevent feathering. Then fill it up with the chosen lipstick shade, but to update it a bit, add on top some matching lip gloss to give it some shine and depth. Monochromatic Makeup Trendy in this season are monochromatic looks when the same color is applied to the eyes, cheeks, and lips. This is a way to guarantee a very harmonious and uniform look. First, choose one shade to suit your skin tone. Then, apply cream blush, matched in color with the shade you chose, on the cheeks and the eyeshadow in the same color all over the eyelids. Tutorials Every Makeup Enthusiast Should Know Flawless Winged Liner The classic winged liner has never been out of style, but the perfect flick has been such an Achilles heel. So, here are the major steps to get a winked liner: First, make a very small dot on the end of your eyes where you want the wing to end. Using a liquid eyeliner or gel liner and a fine-tipped brush, connect the dot to the center of your upper lash line with a wing shape. Then fill in said wing and the rest of your lid for slick, defined eyes. And if you mis-draw the line, clean up the edges with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Master the Smoky Eye Well, the smoky eye is like the classic, huge versatile one. To do a smoky eye, first of all, cover the whole eyelid with a color that’s neutral. Next, apply a medium-dark shade to the eyelid from the lash line toward the crease. After that, put a dark color in the outer corner and blend inward for a gradient effect. Clean off your brush, then blend any hard edges. Finish it off with mascara and possibly some fake eyelashes if you want that extra wow factor. Glowing Skin Glowing, radiant skin is the kind of makeup look that is versatile for any event. Start with a hydrating primer to work its way through the skin, and apply a light foundation or a BB cream. Then, with a dampened beauty sponge, bake the foundation right into the skin. Apply liquid highlighter to the high points of your face. Add a couple of drops to your foundation for some extra glow. Conclusion Makeup has an expression of its own, with updated trends being a source of heaps of fun in freshening one’s look. Neon accents for makeup, bold shades on lips, monochromatic color schemes, and radiant skin are some of the trends this season that get your creativity ablaze with colorful inspiration. It’s a practice to learn and armed with the right techniques, with confidence you will be able to tap into these trends for beauty routines that color your world in the most dazzling ways.
