For a long time, there have been no clear standards of beauty, and this also applies to make-up. Now it is quite difficult to do makeup that can cause censure. However, it is better to refuse some “daring” ideas. We talk about the main anti-trends and fashion trends in makeup in 2022.
1. Too Long False Eyelashes
This is not about fancy decorative eyelashes that are used for creative photography or important events. Now naturalness has come into fashion, which means that it is better not to overdo it. Light make-up, stylish clothes – everything you need for a stylish look.
2. Active Contouring
For a long time, everyone tried to keep up with the trend of pronounced contouring. Girls, girls, and even older ladies were fans of Kim Kardashian and often went too far with contouring. Instead of a beautifully drawn face, everything looked as if a person was covered in dust. I do not argue, there were those who managed to imitate Kim, but, fortunately, all this has long gone out of fashion. I recommend making face correction as invisible as possible. This will enhance your beauty, not spoil it. There will be no incomprehensible spots and stripes on the face.
By the way, back to Kardashian, as her stylist said, contouring in celebrity make-up takes more than 20 steps. It’s good when there is a professional in their field nearby who can do everything you need instead of you. But this is rare. As practice shows, usually, everything happens differently: you want to make a WOW effect, but you get “dirty spots” on your face.
3. “Mask On The Face”
It is this effect that appears when a girl has too much makeup on. Nobody argues that it’s already cold outside, but your skin will not feel better if you constantly clog your pores with powder and everything else. Stylists recommend replacing the powder with moisturizers. Then it will be easier for your skin to “breathe” and it will be easier to endure this winter, and in addition, it will eat useful components. In the summer, you should not be too zealous with powder and foundation. Remember, baby skin is in fashion – childishly clean skin without makeup.
4. Dark Lip Contour
It’s time to say goodbye to the dark lip liner trend. There is a suspicion that this trend will not return any time soon. If earlier clear contouring was in fashion, now everyone is celebrating natural beauty. Instead of a lip liner two shades darker than your lips, opt for a lipstick or gloss that matches your natural lip color.
5. “Perfect” Eyebrows
To be honest, we are people of extremes. Our parents considered it stylish to have lace-up eyebrows, but for a long time, we had a fashion for thick or, as they were called by the people, “Brezhnev” eyebrows. The trend for them was fixed by everyone’s favorite Cara Delevingne, Emilia Clarke, and many other famous celebrities. The perfect contour, no extra hairs, the tip is darker – it’s all outdated.
Finally, everyone realized the importance of natural beauty, learned to love themselves without a tone of makeup. Therefore, the best solution for you will be, if you tint your eyebrows, then quite a bit so that it looks beautiful, and not like make-up in the theater.
6. Drawn voluminous lips
Stung by a bee, a vacuum cleaner, silicone, etc… I think you understand what I’m talking about. For some reason, girls often do not have enough of what they have. But I am glad that at least not everyone goes to radical methods. Many are trying their best to make them visually larger. This trend came from Hollywood actresses who, for the camera, constantly, doing makeup, went beyond the contours with a pencil or lipstick. This technique is called an outline. But it only looks good on-camera…
In everyday life, such make-up looks funny and ridiculous. If you want to add some deliciousness to your lips, just use gloss. They will appear more voluminous, but will not give the impression that you are a clown who escaped from the circus.
7. Cut Crease
Makeup with an emphasis on the crease has not gone away, so calmly. Don’t throw slippers at me. But stylists say that it is better to avoid clear lines in this element that visually divide the eyelid in half. And even despite this, Twiggy-style makeup remains a trend. With the help of a cut crease, you can darken the crease a little and at the same time, you will have the desired effect of a large eyelid.
8.All Together
I do not argue, everyone expresses himself as he wants and can. But self-expression often degenerates into bluntness. It’s good that you have green cream shadows, sticker arrows, pink mascara, and lots and lots of glitter, but the accent should be one, and the rest is just an addition that enhances your makeup.
Therefore, sloppiness is one of the most important anti-trends of 2021 and your worst enemy. When people look at such a picture, their gaze is scattered, they seem to notice nothing ugly, but also beautiful.
This was my short digression into the trends of 2021. There are many other points and tips, but that’s for next time. For now, I’ll leave you to think about it.
