With 2021 coming to a quick close, it’s time to evaluate what makeup looks will be hot this winter. We’ve seen some trends coming back into play – specifically looks from the 80s and 90s like bright colors and dark eyeliner. So, with that being said, here are seven makeup trends that will be making a debut or a comeback for the winter that you won’t want to miss.

1. Draped Blush

Draped blush is blush that is applied from your temples down to the apples of your cheeks (the front most part). This technique is applied similarly to contour and makes your face appear slimmer.

2. Metallic Eyes

This trend is exactly what it sounds like. This winter, grab some metallic eye shadows, such as gold and silver, and apply them directly to your top lid. You can also sweep some directly underneath your bottom lashes, as well, for an elevated look.

3. Wine-Stained Lips

With the return of lip stains, the new winter lip trend is wine-stained lips. This essentially means darker red lip colors, which you can purchase at any place you buy your other makeup. The best part is, these colors can come in whatever style you’re looking for – stains, mattes, and glosses, to name a few.

4. Embellished Eyes

Another winter eye trend is embellished eyes. This can mean large glitter, rhinestones, gems, jewels… You can go as crazy or as tame on this as you want. Invest in some eye-friendly stick-on gems or jewels to add a whole other dimension to your makeup look.

5. Icy Shadow

This winter will also focus on cooler colors for eye shadows. This means lighter blues, whites, and silvers. If you want to combine some trends, purchase some light blue shadow, silver metallic shadow, and some gems for an altogether next-level, trendy look.

6. Fluffy Brows

It seems like eyebrow trends change at the drop of a hat. In the 2000s, the trend was extremely thin brows. After that, brows went from sharply angled to round to untrimmed to now fluffy. For this look, try and grow your brows out (minus the unibrow) and brush them up with an eyebrow brush. For extra hold, you can purchase clear eyebrow gel that will keep your brows looking fluffy all day long.

7. Heavy Eyeliner

This look has been back and forth through the years but has made a pretty large comeback as of recently. For this look, invest in some black, brown, and even dark purple eyeliner and line the top and bottom waterline, as well as the top lid.

Winter 2021 into 2022 will be an exciting time to think outside the box when it comes to makeup and beauty. If you’re ready to try some trends you may not normally try, go to your local makeup or drug store and see what inexpensive products you can purchase to experiment with.

Despite some of the cold weather that blew through March, spring feels like it has officially sprung. One of the most exciting things about the new season is new colors for the next few months. Whether it’s with clothes, shoes, accessories, or makeup, the beauty world has blossomed with new colors and trends.

The 2021 colors for spring will be based on “hope and optimism” and “playful thinking.” Instead of focusing on pastels like past seasons, this year will feature bright colors – Marigold, Burnt Coral, Raspberry Sorbet, Illuminating (yellow), Amethyst Orchid, and French Blue to name a few. Neutral and earthy colors are also included featuring Ultimate Gray, Desert Mist, Dark Mint, and Buttercream. So, what does that mean for makeup trends? Read on.

Emerald Smokey Eye

Instead of going with the classic black and grey smokey eye, jump into the emerald trend that is blooming this year. Revolution PRO has created the ultimate emerald palette ($15) with four shades that range from mattes to shimmers. If you’re looking for a wider shade range, Makeup Revolution sells the 18-shade palette called Forever Flawless ($15) that is made with cannabis sativa seed oil.

Bright Monochromatics

Take into account the colors of Raspberry Sorbet and Illuminating and find eyeshadows, eyeliners, and lip colors in the same bright shades. Makeup Revolution created a 28-high pigment shadow palette, Revolution X Patricia Bright Rich in Color ($25), that has bright neons and sparkles. Smashbox sells highly pigmented lip colors ($22) that feature bright purples and pinks to match whatever shadow you pick.

Blue Lashes

The 90s called and they’re looking for their groovy styles back. Not only are brights making a comeback, but blue eye makeup, specifically, is coming in hot. If you’re looking to hop on the 90s train, ColourPop makes a blue mascara ($8) that perfectly encompasses this year’s spring trend.

Bold Blush

Keep the bright theme going and find some bright, bold blushes. Milk Makeup makes a lip and cheek color stick ($15) in colors like Coral and Bright Pink. This product is a personal favorite and goes on beautifully. The formula is like butter and will leave your cheeks popping in just a few swipes.

Purple Liner

Much like the blue lashes, the purple liner is making a 90s comeback. L’Oreal Paris created the Infallible Pro-Last Pencil Eyeliner ($8) in purple that is waterproof and smudge-proof – perfect for the warming weather. With a gel-like formula, the product is perfect for tightlining.

Sparkles

Another thing that has made its way to the top of the trend list is sparkles – specifically on the eyes. Whether you’re looking for a light shimmer or heavy glitter, there are products that are perfect for the look you’re going for. If you’re looking for glitter, Urban Decay released a 12-color palette, Stoned Vibes ($27), that features glitter in green, purple, blue, and more. If you’d rather go with a lighter shimmer, BH Cosmetics created a Blueberry Muffin 16-color palette ($18) with pigmented shimmer colors.

Heavy Highlight

Coming from someone whose favorite makeup is highlight, this trend is one of my favorites. There are so many types of highlighters out there – pressed powder, gel, liquid, sticks… Just pick your favorite and you’re good to go. If you’re looking for a quick application from a pressed powder, Ofra Cosmetics has one of the highest ratings on the Ulta website. My personal favorite is ColourPop Super Shock Highlighter that comes in a creamy packed gel-like powder. It’s easy to blend and gives a perfect shine.

Spring has sprung! With these new makeup trends, you’ll be prepared for spring, along with collecting some really great products that you can use for a long time.
