Makeup Trends For 2019 (2 of 3)

COLORFUL EYELINER

Following the theme of colorful eye looks, pair your colored mascara with a bright eyeliner. Whether it’s just a flash of color that follows closely to your eye-line or a large cat wing that’s bright pink – it’s your choice! You can be as creative as you like. One thing that you may want to try out if you’re feeling brave is doing a rainbow-winged liner – whether that’s through stacking the lines one on top of the other or whether it’s giving each color its own section across the length of your eye. Whatever it is, make sure that you go with a careful hand so that you have clean lines and clean up with any concealer if you make the wing too big.

To go with your liner, you can also try some big and bold eyeshadow looks. Everyone is trying this technicolor eyeshadow looks with the release of James Charles’ palette which is alive with color – so experiment! See what you like and what you don’t like, don’t be afraid to try new things that are out of your comfort zone.

COVER THE WORLD IN GLITTER

Where once glitter was something that was kept mainly to festival looks, it’s starting to stretch more into the everyday makeup look. Whether it’s a gentle shimmer that catches the light on your lid or intensely thick layers of glitter, it’s a trend that will take the world by storm. And for you guys that have already tried glitter, you’ll know that once you’ve tried it – it’s there for you to find for days afterward!

So how do you wear it? You can either just apply a glitter glue atop of your eye that is eye-safe or you can layer them atop of your eyeliner, your eyeshadow. You can take the bigger chunks of glitter and scatter them across your cheeks if you really want to make a statement with your makeup.

GLOSS, GLOSS, BABY

After years of matte liquid lipsticks dominating the market, lip gloss is finally showing its beautiful head again and taking the hearts of makeup lovers everywhere. Where once lipglosses were known for being uncomfortable and sticky to wear, brands have now reinvented them so that you can wear them without getting your hair, fluff from your cardigans or even pieces of food stuck to your lips when you wear them. They are urging for formulas which feel light and hydrating upon the lips so that you feel like you’re wearing more of a balm than a gloss.

They have achieved this formula by filling the glosses with coconut oil, plum oil, hyaluronic acid and other nutritious beauty ingredients that work towards health for your lips while making them look great at the same time. So, if you’re fed up of using lip scrubs every day just so that you can continue wearing your matte lipsticks, why not try picking up a lip gloss again? I’m sure you won’t regret it!

BUSHY BROWS

Insta-brows have been all the rage for a long time, with brows that are perfectly arched and put together with pomade; but now, the more natural thick brows are coming back into fashion. So drop the tweezers and pick up a clear brow gel and let them grow as much as you want. Once they’re as thick as you like, brush through your brows with a spooly and then set them in an upwards motion with a clear brow gel. This will give you a thick looking brow that has the perfect amount of bushy without you looking like a caveman. If you have sparse brows that have been overplucked then you can mimic this style by taking a brow pencil and filling in your brows with hair-like strokes.
