Makeup, a true form of creativity and self-expression, offers a plethora of possibilities. Experimenting with new colours, shapes, and textures, there’s so much that one can do with makeup. Giving you a kick of inspiration to experiment a little more, Vidhi Arya from Professional Beauty India brings you some trending makeup looks.
This is the year for all things bold and beautiful. Leaving behind traditional norms and rules, it’s time to get inspired by runways, social media, and on-screen looks and let your creativity run free. Here are some looks that are trending at the moment and add a touch of fun and adventure to your makeup routine.
The Magical Metallics and Chromes
While there’s a huge chunk of people who are still inclined towards nudes and subtle shades, the scale is slowly tipping. We now see a lot of people bringing in metallic hues and chromatic looks. Be it eyeshadows or even nails, metallics and chromes are doing well.
If you want to experiment with these hues, try neon eyeliners, eyeshadows in electric or metallic colours, or a bold lip. While these will instantly elevate your look, it’s essential to balance it by toning down the other elements of your makeup.
Gloss It Up
Lip gloss has made a comeback and it’s definitely not subtle. From celebrities and models to makeup influencers, everyone is embracing it. Gloss is one of the highly trending makeup elements at the moment. The perfect sheen that a gloss adds to the lips instantly brightens up the face. All the more, it renders a hint of freshness that’s perfect for the upcoming spring-summer season.
If you wish to add gloss to your look, you can easily team it up with fresh, dewy makeup. Gloss can also be worn just by itself to elevate your natural look.
Liners That Make a Statement
The boring old black-liner days are gone. It’s time to get creative with your liners and bring a whole new dimension to your face. When we speak of getting experimental with eyeliners, one can start fairly simply by using coloured liners in hues of browns, greys, or even blues. You can also add graphic lines or cut crease patterns to add extra depth and dimension.
Tech Infused Glam
Technology and artificial intelligence are taking over and no industry seems to be untouched, including the beauty industry. If you like to stay ahead of the curve, this is something to try on. Several innovative products and services are now on shelves for the same purpose. Whether it is the foundation that adapts to your skin colour, an AI-powered mirror that gives tailored suggestions, or even AI-powered extensions. The options are plenty and all, exciting.
Minimalistic Skin
When it comes to makeup and skincare, one trend that is rapidly picking pace is skin minimalism. While people are adopting for a strict skincare regime, the focus is shifting towards having minimal products with maximum efficacy.
At the same time, the concept of minimalism has also crossed over into the realm of makeup. With trends like clean-girl aesthetics and quiet luxury being immensely popular, people are resorting to simpler and sharper makeup with minimum products.
If you too, want to give minimal makeup a chance, you can opt for nude shades in eyes and lips, while keeping heavy contouring at bay. Or, you can also learn the art of putting on a ‘no makeup’ makeup look.
