Embracing both Minimalism and Maximalism with fervor…
This year, it’s all about extremes, with makeup artists and experts pushing the boundaries of creativity. Whether you’re into the effortlessly gorgeous aesthetic or crave the vibrant allure of bright colors and shimmer, there’s something for everyone. These 2023 makeup trends are taking the beauty world by storm.
The “French Riviera” Face
Inspired by the glamour of the French Riviera, this trend features fresh, weightless complexions and bold lips. Start with a sheer tint or a touch of concealer, add bronzer for a sun-kissed look, and finish with a high-impact matte lip for that yachting-in-the-Riviera vibe.
Cloud Skin
Achieving the “Cloud Skin” trend requires a soft-focus, radiant complexion. The secret lies in skincare, starting with a hydrating serum and using second-skin foundation and blurring blush for that natural yet flawless finish.
Bold, Blurred Blush
Blush is making a comeback in a big way. Expect creamy, blendable textures and blurring formulas that give your skin a filtered look. To nail this trend, consider products like Too Faced’s Cloud Crush Blush for soft-focus perfection.
Soft Focus Skin
Light coverage, barely-there makeup is in vogue. Skin tints and serums are replacing full-coverage foundations, emphasizing a more natural, dewy look. Imperfections are embraced, and real skin is celebrated.
Pop on the Pout
Bold lips are back in the spotlight. Rich shades like reds, browns, berries, and mauves are the go-to choices. Lip liner takes center stage, either as a deeper shade under lipstick or as the main lip color for longevity.
Brow Experimentation
Bleached brows continue to make a statement, giving people the confidence to experiment with their brows. From thinly plucked eyebrows to unique shapes, brows are a canvas for self-expression.
Subtle Shimmers
Shimmer is back in various forms – chrome, metallic, or sheer washes. From a soft sparkle on your eyelids to bold metallic liquid eyeshadows, there are countless ways to incorporate shimmer into your look.
The Cat Eye Resurgence
Eyeliner is back in a big way, with kitten flicks and classic cat eye wings taking center stage. Achieving this look is easier than ever, thanks to user-friendly liquid liners.
Grunge Glam
Grunge-inspired makeup is making a splash. Deep lips, plum stains, burgundy lip creams, and dark brown glosses are all the rage, offering a fierce and edgy everyday look.
Underpainting
Underpainting, a technique used by makeup artist Mary Phillips, is gaining popularity. It involves applying concealer and contour before foundation, creating a defined, glowing, and natural finish.
Faux Freckles
With lightweight foundation on the rise, faux freckles are a fun addition to any look. Products like Freck’s fake freckle serum can help you achieve this charming trend.
Dopamine Glam
Colorful makeup is taking over in 2023. Bold, vibrant hues in eyeshadows, lipsticks, and liners are making a statement. It’s all about setting high vibrations and feeling confident.
2023’s makeup trends offer a delightful blend of nostalgia and innovation, allowing makeup enthusiasts to explore their creativity while embracing natural beauty. Whether you opt for the subtle allure of Cloud Skin or the boldness of Pop on the Pout, there’s no shortage of exciting looks to try this year. So, get your brushes ready and experiment with these trends to express your unique style.
