Makeup Trends: 2022

Bold Beauty

Rhinestones, glitter, shimmer, oh my! Experimenting with the eyes is in! From adding jewels to finish off a look or covering an eye completely in glitter. The recent renewal of the HBO series, Euphoria, has really brought this trend to the forefront where many cast members sport bejeweled and colorful makeup. People are looking for a little fun in 2022!

Dewy Skin

Matte skin is out and your-skin-but-better is in! When it comes to foundation, people are wanting dewy and natural finishes, something to enhance the skin. There has been a growth in tinted moisturizers and skin tints! This is perfect all year round. Lightweight, dewy formulas are ideal for spring/summer and dewy skin helps hold moisture in the cold seasons of fall and winter!

I’m Blushin’

We are not shying away from blush this year! Blush draping, which is the placing of blush on different parts of the face in order to bring a youthful glow to the skin, is making its way into the new year. Experimenting with the placement can totally transform a look! A little blush from the temples to the top of the cheekbone could really snatch a face. And keeping it closer to the apples of the cheek creates a younger, doll-like appearance. More is more on this occasion!

Light, Fluffy Brow

Brow lamination gained lots of popularity in the past few years but people were looking for a way to lift the brows without the permanent process of brow lamination. Brands started to release clear and tinted brow pomades that were able to create the same look! Another way people are adding volume to their brows are with brushes that are thin and precise to mimic brow hairs! Put away the tweezers and let them do their thing!

Lash Extensions

For the woman on the go! Lash extensions have been a savior for the busy woman who still wants a little glam in her life but doesn’t have the time to maintain it. There are many different styles from classic, hybrid, to volume! There is something for everyone! They are a luxury service and don’t require too much maintenance. People are also experimenting with them more by adding jewels, glitter, and colored extensions. Very similar and can be related to the “Bold Eye” trend!

People are stepping out of their comfort zones this year with experimenting with their eyes whether that be with lash extensions or bolder makeup. But with this, we’re keeping the skin natural and brows fluffy to help balance it all out. We are bring a fun energy into 2022 and keeping it cute and trendy :)
