2022 is already making a splash in the beauty world and I don’t know about you but I love to see it. We all know that trends can change quickly in the industry. It’s always interesting to see how long they stick around and their lasting impact. Here are the 5 biggest makeup trends for 2022 according to the top makeup artists.
Soft Skin
Now that more and more people are getting into better skincare and skin health, there has been a downward turn in wearing heavy foundation. Many people are becoming more interested in lightweight products that are breathable, especially since masks aren’t going anywhere. We all know the saying, “Glowing skin is always in”. So to keep your skin soft and glowing during your makeup routine, use a liquid foundation or a tinted moisturizer. Pair it with a liquid highlighter and cream blushes that can blend into the skin easily and do not require a lot of manipulation. If you already have clear beautiful skin, take it up a notch by only concealing certain areas that are needed.
Negative Space Eyeliner
Your eyes are always a great way to be creative and grab people’s attention. For the longest people have used eyeliner as a way to achieve a bold look. Negative space eyeliner is the idea of outlining the eye with a bold color along the crease and leaving the space inside empty. Although this trend may not be for everyone, it’s definitely an attention grabber.
Fluffy brows
This trend has been budding for a while now and at first, I didn’t think it would last long. I was mistaken. More and more people are proudly rocking the fluffy brow look, given a much more natural appearance vs a very well-groomed esthetic. This technique is easily achieved by pushing the brow hair in an upward motion using a brow gel or brow soap and gently filling in the brow with hair-like strokes.
Diffused Lips
This trend is inspired by Asian culture and is ideal for the minimalist that would like a pop of color. To create the look, use soft neutral stains and concentrate pops of color in the center of the lips. The look gives a very soft natural effect that looks effortless.
Glazed Lips
On the contrary to diffused lips, lip gloss is making a comeback. We are seeing more people rock a very 90’s inspired look with lip liner and gloss. This time around the look includes other gloss pallets beside the staple clear coat that’s traditionally glazed over liner and lipsticks.
I cannot wait to see how these looks evolve this year, and what trends will follow. Which trend will you attempt to rock? Personally, Soft skin, fluffy brows, and glazed lips have been my go-to for a while. I’m glad to see them leave their mark this year in the beauty industry. What trends do you want to see flourish in 2022?
Great article! I’m excited for some of these trends. Especially the fluffy brows!
Yes, girl me too!
At first, I didn’t particularly care for them. However I’ve grown to see them.
