2021 saw the rise of bold make-up trends. There was the emphasis on bold, geometric eyes, as individuals sought to draw attention to the only area visible above facial masks. These made lots of make-up artists embrace contracting eyeshadow looks, creative eye makeup and we saw how most coloured liners, especially brightly coloured ones, could streamline the eyes. Subsequently, we also saw a movement towards healthy and glowing skin, as wellness became the new luxury last year. Many of us became more focused on improving our skin health and adopted a more intuitive approach to product usage based on our skin types and needs which have now prompted skincare brands to prioritize quality over quantity. We are most likely expecting to see lots of innovations in the beauty world for 2022.

Here are some beauty trends that will be carried into the new year.

Fresh Silky Skin

I believe everyone will be pushing for rich formulas and be more conscious of boundaries or what we expect from textures and quality of skincare products for silky skin. People are leaning towards better skincare routines to showcase a healthy complexion. This should give access to more skincare activities than ever before for
the New Year.

Bold Colours

don’t see the bold and colourful look going out of style anytime soon. 2022 will most likely keep this trend going with a few looks that are all about being your most extra, colourful, and glittery self. Having spent so much time at home, many people would still want to spot very
loud make-up especially with
bold lipsticks.

Beauty Technology

Get ready to see more high-tech beauty tools hit the market. This year, beauty brands will continue to adapt to fancy new technology, revolutionising everything from personalised skincare to Artificial Intelligence-powered products and virtual experiences which might just become the new norm, changing the way we shop and experience beauty.

The Clean, Natural Look

It’s all about minimalistic makeup and styling so I’m thrilled to probably see the rebranded ‘no makeup’ makeup look for the minimalist who just wants to embrace their unique facial features and step away from the homogenous “Instagram” make-up trend look like contouring, cut-creasing or glitters.

Glossy Lippies

Glossy lips are going to be huge this year as big brands are introducing newly improved luxurious lippies which are gradually moving us away from the norm of dry and matte lipsticks. These glosses aren’t limited to just the lips either; lip glosses are also used on the eyelids and cheek to create a soft blush moment. Perhaps sticking to glossy eyes and lips is the way to go for 2022.
