A new year has begun and that means it’s the perfect time for a little bit of reinvention.
Spoiler alert: your go-to red lipstick’s getting some stiff competition.
Bold, graphic eyeliner
2016 was all about a dramatic, black cat eye.
“A small half flick feels very effortless and Parisian cool.”
A fresh face
Still haven’t perfected the art of face contouring?
No need to worry because that trend is so 2016 (sorry, Kylie Jenner).
Celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff, who’s worked with stars like Taraji P. Henson, agrees.
“A softer sculpting is more the rage this season,” she told me.
To achieve this look, she recommends “Perfect Blend” by Ashunta Sheriff dual end foundation.
Full brows
Step away from those tweezers because full brows are in for 2017, says Sherriff.
“Its angular point helps for precision.”
Meanwhile, Minneapolis-basedbeauty vlogger and makeup artist Hillary Klinesays the heavy metal trend isn’t just for your nails.
“Metallic lids give a sort of ‘wow’ factor and are trendy.”
“Huge lashes take a backseat to natural full lashes,” Sheriff said.
Can’t bare to part with your falsies?
Sheriff suggests switching from a dramatic full set to individual lashes.
But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t change things up from time to time.
According to Sheriff, 2017 will be all about berry hues.
“Softer variations like mauve, pink, lilac and lavender hues are good daytime options.”
Blogger Kline also tells us these colors won’t be limited to just your lips.
Natural ingredients
Ali-Hope predicts the skin care industry will also go more natural this year.
Even beauty products containing ingredients like black seed will continue to grow in 2017."
Hate how burgundy looks on your lips?
No problem, stick to your signature red pout.
Not feeling the metallic nails?
Go natural, instead.
After all, there’s nothing more beautiful than being comfortable in our own skin.
