The makeup and beauty industry is constantly evolving in terms of new makeup trends, textures, hacks, and whatnot. We have witnessed several beauty trends in the past couple of years – from pixie cuts and curtain bangs being a thing again, to heavy contouring and soap brows gaining popularity. The beauty industry is evolving in terms of its acceptance and inclusivity and is hence also becoming more experimental.
If you are a makeup and beauty enthusiast, given below are the four beauty trends that are likely to be trending this year and you should be looking forward to:
Longer hair through extensions
Longer hair is the newest trend in the beauty industry thanks to celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner. People now change their hair as frequently as their outfits, and all thanks to the abundance in the wig and hair extensions industry, this is no trouble at all. Long wavy locks and super-high ponytails are coveted hairstyles that can simply be achieved by wearing clip in real hair extensions or tape-in extensions. In addition to being able to flaunt long and thick hair, hair extensions also give you the ability to make many different hairstyles.
Minimal skincare
Looking back at the trending 12-step Korean skincare routines that took the world by storm, the skincare industry has come a long way in promoting a minimalist skincare routine. For individuals with no skincare problems, the three basic steps include a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Those who are looking to target a specific skincare issue can add 1-2 products accordingly such as retinol for anti-aging, Vitamin-C for brightening, and Rosehip seed oil for making your skin tone even.
Skin tints over foundations
While we love a full coverage moment, foundations tend to clog your pores, make fine lines increasingly visible, and are simply not suitable for the summers. Skin tints, on the other hand, are sheer, natural-looking, and have a glowy aftereffect. Most of the trending skin tints include moisturizing and hydrating capabilities in addition to SPF, and popular choices include the Rare Beauty tinted moisturizer and the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint.
Sun-burnt and statement blush
While 2017 was the year of heavy contour, 2022 is standing tall for a statement blush. The sun-burnt blush look is trending this year with celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez being at its forefront. Instead of the previous lifted blush look, celebs and their makeup artists are opting for a natural blush setting to make the cheeks appear fuller and softer. Blush is no longer restricted to the higher part of your cheekbones – rather, makeup artists and beauty gurus are using flush all over their cheeks, across the nose, and on their forehead.
Conclusion
The realm of beauty and fashion has witnessed a radical change: from heavy makeup and 12-step skincare routines to natural makeup and an emphasis on minimal skincare, everything that we knew about makeup five years ago has changed. Beauty is fluid, and the changing beauty trends speak for this statement. The current beauty climate is all about diversity, inclusivity, and being comfortable in your skin.
