Among classic fall makeup trends like rusty shadow and berry lips are an endless array of out-there looks like vintage liner and TikTok-inspired techniques. Mali Thomas, Bobbi Brown global artist in residence, agrees. “Fall 2021 is all about bold lip colors and statement eyes,” she says.
Move over classic cat eye, because 2021 is ditching the overdone eyeliner look. If the whole world can agree on just one thing, it's this: the cat eye is overdone. The winged eyeliner trend has been with us for years; the look is tired and deserves to take a break in 2021.
As much as we love contouring, 2021 is all about soft, natural glam, so you can say goodbye to harsh and dramatic contour. With that said, don't feel you should abandon contouring altogether… Instead, opt for a warm, sculpted glow.
Line your waterline with a nude shadow or liner.
Lightly apply a neutral eyeliner to your waterline, or the thin line just above your bottom lashes. This will make your whole face look more refreshed and alert. Work quickly to ensure your eyes don't water; otherwise, the liner will be washed away.
Precision. Under the guidance of an experienced, steady hand, liquid eyeliner can create super crisp lines. Even the sharpest pencil can't quite create the precision of liquid. Waterproof liquid eyeliner also has a budge-proof staying power pencil can't beat.
Smoky eye makeup is one of those classic looks that will never go out of style. It's heavily customizable, making it adaptable to any occasion, from red carpets to date night to casual day-to-day wear.
So why is this blue eyeliner trend so hot right now? You can thank the '70s influence that has been taking over the runway lately. "That era is back in a big way when we think about the glitter and gloss that's coming around in beauty lately," New York City makeup artist Ashleigh Ciucci tells Allure.
First things first, what makes a smokey eye? Effectively, it's a blended or diffused eyeshadow rather than one block colour which a) creates dimension and b) looks downright hot. You can use one shade and smoke it out at the edges, but usually, you'll build up layers with different shades and textures.
The best way to describe the unconventional trend is basically any line around the eyes that isn't explicitly anchored to anything else. Rather, the line is placed more in the eyelid crease or diagonally to the sides in a direction of a cat-eye.
DON'T wear mascara on your lower lashes. Playing up your lower lashes can make your eyes look droopy and draw attention to dark circles. It makes the eyes look older and accentuates the under eye wrinkles.
Keep Your Lines Thin. Keep eyeliner on the lower lid thin and inconspicuous. The obvious pitfall of bottom eyeliner is that it can create the impression of dark circles beneath your eyes, which no one wants.
To be certain exactly which colors contrast each other, the use of a color wheel is recommended. Simply locate your natural eye color on the wheel and look for the color on the opposite side. That color will be the eyeliner shade to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes!
The highlighting trend is fading.
On YouTube and Instagram, it's common to see influencers with glowing cheekbones and shining noses, but the highlighter trend that began around 2016 is slowly disappearing.
It's perfectly fine to wear eyeshadow without eyeliner. In fact, it's trending right now. Just look at the 2020/2021 runway makeup as shown by Vogue and Glowsly. You'll see very few looks with eyeliner, even smoky black and brown eyes.
Lip gloss will be popping in 2022
The great Ariana Grande once said, "my gloss is poppin'," and truer words have never been spoken. The move away from dry, matte lips has been confirmed by glossy runway looks heavily featured in the Spring/Summer 2022 runway by Blumarine (via Harper's Bazaar).
“Applying blush to fun places like the temples and the upper cheek bone will become commonplace,” she says. “I think it's safe to say that we will be seeing a lot of blush draping in spring 2022,” agrees Ash.
Recently, freckles have not only ceased to be a flaw but have even become a fashionable pursuit. Charming, youthful, and selective freckles are one of the biggest and hottest beauty trends of this spring, noticeable both on the catwalks as well as fashion and beauty guru Instagrams.
Hooded eyes is a condition where excess skin folds down from the brow line. It is usually more noticeable toward the outer edge of the eye, where the eyebrow tapers toward the temple.
