2023 Makeup Trends
Fiona says, “Creating a fresher version of yourself is common in the makeup industry. Newness is the living soul of the beauty industry! 2023 is set on futuristic trends and nostalgic ones that have been modernized.”
Looks to try in 2023
90s Flare
Think grunge and lived-in. The eyes are deep and sultry and slightly undone. You can easily recreate this iconic look by applying a medium-toned earthy eyeshadow and then blending a kohl pencil across the top lash line. Using a thicker liner effect than normal can assist in making it look ultra-smudged and bold.
Airy Hydrated Skin
The trend of effortless bare skin is here to stay. Cosmetic companies are creating products that are thin and buildable for an airy, close-to-skin appearance. Fresh ultra-glowing finishes are making an appearance. Using skin care-infused makeup is a favorite among all ages. Adding an illuminating primer can provide the perfect glow while keeping the foundation long-wearing for special events. Liquid and cream blush can be sponged on to give the skin a fresh but natural finish. A trick to keeping oily-prone skin controlled is to use a lightweight translucent powder in the t-zone and mist it with a longwear setting spray. The idea of this trend is to look reflective and dewy. Adding an extra dose of illumination to your makeup routine will have you on trend.
Glossy Bold Lips
Statement lips reminiscent of the 80s electric colors will be seen across many lips this upcoming year. Since face makeup has become more natural and skin-like, the lips will take center stage with bold color and an ultra-glossy finish. The likeness of vinyl is popular. Lipstick and lip gloss will incorporate more eye-catching shimmer and metallic finishes. Matte lips will be dialed down more to make way for an ultra-glossy pout that stands out against the clean natural faces.
Artsy Eyebrows
Eyebrows have slowly transformed into soft fluffy looks. Creating art with your eyebrow has taken center stage. Lightening the color contrasts sharply to the trends of the sharp, darker brows of prior years. People have become obsessed with the complete opposite and are growing out their arches and lighting the color for a completely new look. To avoid bleaching your brows, purchase an eyebrow gel or mascara to cover your brows temporarily for a statement look that can be paired with a bold lip. Another artsy trend from fashion shows is the bedazzled eyebrow. To transition this trend into a wearable evening look, add a thin line of shimmer or glittery highlighter just under your eyebrow line. This technique will bring attention to your eyes without feeling overwhelmed.
Metallic Eyeshadow
Metallic shimmery finishes are a futuristic trend, as are eyes that have a reflective nature. Cosmetic companies are introducing liquid and cream formulas of eyeshadows that can be easily applied with your finger. The look is effortless, airy, and lived-in. This trend pulls inspiration from an ethereal place. Soft, colorful, and transparent finishes make this trend fun and eye-catching. Pairing a creamy metallic eyeshadow with smudged eyeliner is a perfect pairing for a futuristic and fresh look.
