Clean Your Blenders, And Set Your Vanity Straight As We Are Trying New Makeup Trends That Are Here To Stay Forever!

Once upon a time, a man named John told a lady that he doesn’t like too much makeup. Unbothered & perfectly contoured, she replied, “Then wear less makeup, John, but leave me alone.” Ladies, this story has just one moral, there’s no such thing as too much makeup. Welcome to another month of us appreciating the artistry of some of the most anticipated makeup looks. As mentioned before, we have accepted defeat and made a truce with the fact that makeup trends would keep getting innovative and make our lives funkier! That being said, as we enter fall this month, just like we’re ready to revamp our fashion closets, the beauty game should also get full attention.

Unlike fashion, only some makeup trends are for a lifetime. Even though we’ve had so many over the past years only some had the potential to stay and make their way to the top in the industry today. We’re sure you’ve been following what celebrities are up to and the trends they swear by. We heard you for this new month and have brought to you the celebrity inspired makeup trends that will be seen everywhere from now onwards.

From cat eyelash life, and minimalist linear to pastel color trends; we have covered it all. Without further ado dive in if you too breathe makeup!

The Face Gem Eye Trend

Two impressive artists leading the music industry charts, with their soothing voices Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa adore this makeup trend. In fact, both the angels have been spotted slaying in the same in many music videos, and awards shows. Just like how their performances never disappoint us, this trend made its way straight into our hearts. With a very Y2K vibe, you just add some glam to the eyes by sticking single gems to the outer and inner corners. It gives a twinkle effect and undoubtedly looks gorgeous. You can also use sparkles and pearls, instead of faux gems. Dua took it up a notch by creating a complete eyeliner look covered in gems, it looked divine. This trend is perfect for all ladies wanting to channel their inner Maddy, from Euphoria. She was seen nailing the trend in the series and oh boy, it was killer. The face gem trend is effortless as it’s easier to take on and off. Next time, sparkle your makeup life!

Glossy Makeup

No no, it’s not what you’re guessing as glowy makeup. The two are kind of different. The thing with glossy makeup is that it highlights your bone structure and of course gives a very dewy finish; not oily or greasy. Celebrities who like to keep it simple yet elegantly beautiful choose to go with this new glossy makeup trend. The glossy makeup look aims at making your skin look like glass and reflecting any light that touches it. To achieve this you can use all face oils and serums with instant glow before makeup. But another super important tip to note here is to have a proper skincare regime. You can also go in with a warm creamy highlighter before layering in the foundation to sort of increase the effect. Zoe, the heroine of the ‘Superhero’ movie, swears by this trend and is spotted with a glossy finish makeup look in most events. In simple words, it’s the glazed finish look as Mrs. Beiber likes to call it!

Statement Blush or Burnt Effect

We have always believed that Blush is a women’s best-kept secret. Earlier when women used to wear blushes that were too clearly visible it was considered too loud, but today the look is incomplete without lots of blush and rosy pink cheeks. To achieve the gorgeous looking sunburnt blush look, all you have to do is use the “W” technique. Sweep a W with a powder or liquid blush from the checks and nose, to create a unified makeup look. The best part is using a highly pigmented highlighter after that along your cheekbones and brow bones that just adds to the glam. We’ve seen Hailey, and other exceptional makeup artists, including Nikki hooked to this trend. With the photos that come out to be amazing, we are officially crushing on this effect!

Faux Freckles

This season nobody is foundationing their faces, but letting the semi-natural skin out so that we witness the beauty in those freckles many Hollywood personalities have. Many would agree with me, sometimes all us girls get to thinking why don’t we have such pretty natural freckles? However, makeup solves all problems, the trend of creating a faux freckle effect on the face using makeup is increasing by the minute. To create the look you have to take a super tiny eyebrow pencil with a precise tip, now dab dots gently on the parts of your face that the sun naturally hits, concentrating on your cheekbones, nose, and forehead. Just like the beauty industry is practicing imperfectly perfect, nobody is interested in hiding their freckles or imperfections under thick, strongly masked powders.

This is it for this month, hope you enjoyed it; do try these makeup trends as they’re all here to stay!
