Our favorite Instagram beauty gurus show off a dazzling display of makeup trends that can be daunting to recreate and anything but casual. Yet the looks we see are oh so pretty and too exciting to not attempt. That is until you have class in an hour, or work until five. Many of the makeup trends can be difficult to turn into an everyday look. Instead of searching Pins on Pinterest, or surfing through twenty minutes worth of a youtube video, sit back, relax, and find out how you can turn those fun and sometimes eccentric makeup trends into a look you can wear to class, work, or a meeting with your boss.
With all of the new summer palettes catching our eyes with bright and neon hues, it is easy to create a mix of looks but not always for every occasion. It has been a 2019 clothing staple that is now influencing our makeup products. With marketing like bold and fearless, who doesn’t want to try the bright and colorful neon palettes? For a cute everyday look, try using one of the lighter shades in the palette, like pink, or yellow, and lightly place it in your inner corner. For a higher quality of color pay-off use your finger instead of a brush! If you want a more professional look use a blue liquid eyeliner for your lid, add some mascara and you’re ready for the day!
Last year it was the matte foundations, matte lip products, and Primers that create a more matte look. And with that, we just couldn’t seem to escape the matte products. In 2019 we’ve seen the opposite ends of moisture-locking makeup by replacing it with products that ensure a more dewy and glowing complexion. We started off the year with a change to the famous Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder into an edition that creates a glowy appearance rather than a matte one. If you love your matte foundation then settling for a highlighter that appears wet on the skin with the additive of a setting spray (Like Morphe’s Continuous Setting Spray) you can create the same dewy and glowy effect.
The best foundation and concealer is that which conceals without taking away from our natural beauty. Sometimes matte foundations can do just that, cover up while creating a totally new facial palette to paint on. While we’re in class, running errands, or slaving away at work we need makeup that will withstand the day while enhancing our complexions. Nar’s Sheer Glow Foundation will smooth out your complexion while giving the appearance of a more natural and buildable makeup look. In that way, it’s perfect for any occasion. Make sure to use a beauty blender while applying any natural makeup look as with a brush the foundation won’t be soaked up as much as within a blender, leaving a more full coverage rather than natural appearance.
It’s like the ’90s and early 2000’s are coming back for us. As much as glossy lips may get us in a bit of trouble on a windy day or on a date, while in our day to day routines glossy lips are the perfect addition to any everyday makeup look. Other than matte lippies, our gloss will keep our lips more hydrated and simple to re-apply throughout the day. Dose of Colors Desi X Katy Lip Gloss is great to put with a lip liner closely matching your lip color for extra shine, or go with Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer.
