With the pandemic and the wearing of masks, our makeup habits have definitely changed. The focus of this summer will be on the eyes, of course, but also joyful, colourful and easy to create looks!
Let’s have a closer look at the next big trends to adopt!
Blush
The blush is the star product of this season! It was already the case from previous seasons, but last spring saw an emerging trend, blush draping! Two options for this season: The blush is not only placed on the apple of the cheekbones but comes as a veil and brightens the centre part of the face, brush up the colour on the cheekbones and on the bridge of the nose. You can also use a blush as a contour to enhance the natural features and apply it on the cheekbones and slightly on the temples.
Tips: For busy mornings, use your blush as an eyeshadow for a monochrome look! To hold the pigments on the eyelids, apply a little bit of cream concealer first and then brush up the colour starting from the centre of the eyes.
Peachy tones: We announced a colourful summer and peach is definitely the colour to wear! Peach is the ideal shade to illuminate any complexion on the eyes, on the cheeks, or even on the lips, applied with a gloss for a juicy effect. Lighter complexions will suit a peach with an undertone of pink which can be worn with other pastel shades like a light purple or a green. Medium to dark complexion can wear a peach mixed with bronze and warm brown on the eyes.

Pastel tones: Pastel tones look to be the next big trend for the upcoming seasons. Seen again on the Armani runway in Paris in July, soft and colourful eyes became a must! Pastel shades can be placed all over on the eyelid but the speciality of this season is to put a light eyeshadow just at the inner corner of the eyes to illuminate. This new trend is super easy to apply and can be created using pastel blue, yellow, purple, pink!
Tips: Brush up the eyebrows and keep the mobile eyelid free of makeup. Choose a pastel shade and apply it just at the inner corner of the eyes with a small brush. Coat your lashes generously with mascara to open the eyes.

Glossy skin and lips
Hydrated, plumped, fresh, the skin is delicately enlightened with a lightweight texture. Fluid foundations, cream blush and highlighter are the star products for this spring and summer. Lips are also juicy and colourful! Fuschia, coral, and rosewood are the colours to pick from for this season!
Tips: Prefer a lip stain that stays even with a mask!

Blue mascara: Who doesn’t love a blue mascara with sunkissed skin? The ultimate chic and effortless makeup look for warm summer evenings. Bonus: Blue shades tend to make the eyes look brighter!
Tips: Work the skin with a bronze liquid luminizer and coat your upper and lower lashes with an intense blue mascara.

For the more adventurous, you can also have a look at the upcoming trends seen at the New York fashion week Spring-Summer 2022 which happened this past September. Following the colourful eyes makeup trend already seen in 2021, Anna Sui and Proenza Shouler showcased bright and bold colours on the eyes. Grunge definitely makes a comeback with dark lips as seen at the Coach runway. Sweet sixty’s cut creases, liners and beehives, already previewed at the Paris fashion week in July have been seen again at the Markarian and Luar’s shows.
Colourful, joyous and bold! The next two seasons are announced to be fun and creative! Time to express ourselves and not only be noticed but also be seen!
