Makeup Trends for the Year 2018

Check out what is trending in the world of makeup to give your New Year a fresh glamour appeal. These are the trends to watch out for in order to ramp up your beauty quotient.

Beauty and wellness

With all things coming under the radar of wellness to set a healthy tone to everyday affairs, beauty industry has easily found its new trend in the vast and ever-evolving world of wellness. The New Year will see makeup brands becoming more conscious of the negative health implications from certain products and joining the so-called ‘clean’ brigade, where the focus is on manufacturing products that are free of harmful products. Makeup will also take on a simplified garb, shifting the focus instead on skincare.

Skincare supplements

Skincare supplements are not new in the beauty industry, but the New Year is set to make them popular among beauty savvy folks. From capsules to powders mixed in smoothies, the supplements targeting skincare and anti-ageing are in for a big boost.

Unisex products

While perfumes have had their gender neutral moments, cosmetic lines targeting skin and hair are also set to blur the gender lines. Hair care products that are not defined as ‘his’ or ‘hers’ will easily become a part of the new move, so will the skincare line, with creams and lotions catering to different skin types rather than the genders.

Shiny notes

Glitz and glamour will set the tone for the year with gold highlighters and glittery lip glosses. Glitter eyeliners with a touch of sophistication are also big this year, with experts predicting dramatic notes. Add to that gems and sequins on eyelids and around the eyes to give glitter a big thumbs up.

Makeup trends

Gold highlight

Taking bling to another level is the gold makeup line that will see the gold highlighter using the face as a canvas to light it up. Add to that a glowing face, defined by products that are designed to give face a lift.

Metallic touch

Metallic makeup will have another outing this year in all shades and finishes. However, the big advice from beauty experts is to wear it subtly over your lipstick.

Makeup trends

Lip tints

Subtle and natural – that’s the key to incorporating lip tints which can add colour without giving the lips an overdone look.

Black eyes

Smoky eyes refuse to go out of trend and so black continues to rule the makeup counter with the eyeliner poised to give the top and lower lash-lines a thick border. It could even turn fanciful with angles and graphic shapes complimenting the next big trend of pronounced eyelashes. You could opt for extensions or go for false lashes to meet the trend in a glamorous way.

Makeup trends

Foundation palette

The quintessential foundation in the makeup list is set to get exciting and vibrant with a widening range of colours that are suitable for different skin tones.

Nail it

Nail art is making an exciting comeback with beauty experts predicting an artistic flourish for nails, with creative and colourful designs receiving thumbs up.
