makeup trends of the season
Makeup is more experimental than
ever this year. Long gone are the days of thick brows, cut creases, and sharp wings. The latest trend in makeup styles is a more natural, fresh face look. The focus is on clear skin, eye makeup, highlight, and natural lips. With Korean skincare and makeup on the rise, perfect looking skin, dazzling eye makeup, and a gradient lip are some of the biggest trends this season. Shows like Euphoria on HBO showcased editorial-style looks that had a very playful and fun side to them. Adding small details like rhinestones to your face and eyes are sure ways so spice up your look without making it too much. Euphoria largely inspired this trend, as the characters went viral for their makeup looks, leading to Euphoria makeup challenges on Youtube and other social media platforms. These looks featured various bright colors, colored eyeliner, jewels, glitter and glossy eyes. Adding small details to your look is a subtle difference, but is a sure way to stand out from everyone around you. Other notable trends are small eyeliner designs under the eyes, blush on the tip of the nose, and false lashes. These trends were largely made popular by the app TikTok, where ‘E-girls’ are seen wearing heavy makeup
and edgy designs under their eyes like hearts, stars, and dots. Overlining your lips, heavy blush, freckles, and dark lips are the key to this look. Brightly dyed hair, dyed bangs, barrettes, butterfly clips, and piercings are also popular with this look. Much of this makeup is inspired by Korean and Japanese makeup, and emo/goth culture. This look is definitely categorized as edgy, but has elements of fresh faced makeup that is extremely dramaticized. The major point of this season’s trends is to enhance natural features in an unconventional way.

Start by looking for inspiration for an aesthetic you like. Edgy, cute, chic, vintage etc. Give away clothes that don’t fit it, and then start by getting basic pieces. Add more statement pieces later.

Aries-You can destroy anything in your path, and you strongly push toward achieving your goals this year! Anyone who tries to stand in your way now should watch out because you have zero patience for them. Wounded Chiron is in your sign all year. Chiron questions your idea of what you believe in and and makes you wonder if you’re on the right track with life. The worst thing to happen could cause you to question if you even have a right to exist, but the Chiron retrograde cycle helps you bring back Aries fire and understand why you’ve been failing to appreciate yourself so much. Taurus-This year, you’re ready to work hard in exchange for the pleasures that life has to offer, especially beauty and richness. You don’t have to apologize for loving beautiful things, this important part of your personality is what pushes you to succeed. However, don’t forget that Uranus, the planet of change, is moving along in your steady sign all year, causing disruption in a lot of areas. Be ready!
Gemini-You’re most observant now, so you’re going to notice things that others ignore. Mercury is also the planet that’s linked to sibling relationships. It’s time to start getting connected, whether you text each other or haven’t seen one another in years, strengthening your bond is possible now. Health issues, especially stomach/ intestinal issues, will play a role this year which you should help quickly. Listen to your body and at the very least get a check-up!
Leo- You love relaxing in attention so it only makes sense that your ruler is the ego-boosting sun. When 2020 begins the sun is in earthy, so you’ll see yourself doing things for the sense of accomplishment more than the beauty. That will change by the end of July, when the sun moves into your flashy sign and welcomes in your birthday month. Your mood is outgoing and playful!
Cancer- Focus on success, set goals, and follow a plan. Saturn challenges you to do your best, Mars will help you get where you want to go this year. As Mars starts the year in Aries, you're able to cross some things off your to-do list right away in January. The competitive vibe of Mars in Aries gives you a positive sense of accomplishment from the start. The key to getting through a Mercury retrograde this year is to follow your intuition. So, if it feels right, it probably is right.
Virgo- Your ruler, Mercury, is one of the fastest moving planets, so your mind is going to be quick and alert. This year Mercury begins in practical, family earth sign Capricorn and quickly forms a connection with Jupiter, setting an optimistic tone for the year. Feeling open-minded and sociable is a great way to start your 2020!
YOUR 2020 HOROSCOPE Libra- Your home planet, Venus, begins the year in Aquarius but quickly moves into sensitive, compassionate Pisces. This easy combination creates a romantic flow of love that will help you be more aware, forgiving and loving. Venus travels through your sign starting at the end of October, putting close relationships in the spotlight.
Scorpio- You’ve got that Scorpio swagger already, but you’ll really be feeling yourself when your power planet, Mars, spends time in your sign at the very beginning of the year. A couple days later Mars moves on to Sagittarius, but for those first two days you’re untouchable! Mars in Aries, are great when they team up at the end of June, but it could also cause you to be impatient and self-centered, which aren’t two natural Scorpio characteristics!
Sagittarius-Your outgoing nature is backed by your power planet Jupiter, and this year, Jupiter is paired up with Capricorn again, so the mood still isn’t that light. Your good luck is directly tied to your actions this year, so make your own luck by working hard on your future. A retrograde period from the middle of May to mid-September gives you a chance to think about your goals. Capricorn- This year, you should be especially focused on your goals now and may be in tune with your ultimate purpose in life. You must be willing to make changes to meet your full potential. Growth and progress in your life are possible this year if you focus on yourself and what’s most important.
Aquarius- Your home planet, Uranus, made a big move into steady Taurus last year, and these two different energies don’t coincide. Uranus is experimental and Taurus is more conservative, so there will be some uneven energy to deal with. The retrograde period for your power planet this year is from mid-August until the end of the year, can should give you a break from the need for rebellion. Turning that rebellious behavior can create its own set of issues, so be prepared for inner battles that can lead you down the path to self-destruction. Pisces- Your home planet, Neptune, supports your optimistic approach to life, and because it’s traveling this is the time to dream big. Pay attention to intuition and visions and have your subconscious be an accurate window into your soul and what you truly want this year.
