But before we embrace the new, let’s first reminisce about the “old.”
Some wild and wonderful trends many of which you may have tried filled the year.
AsThe Listreported, edgy looks were a prominent feature of 2018.
This was due, in part, by the makeup’s frequent appearances at the spring 2018 fashion shows.
Crystal-infused products, warm red highlighters, and bespoke mascaras were also trending throughout the year.
Here are the trends experts say you’ll want to try.
The return of the gloss
It’s time, everyone.
Lip gloss isfinallymaking its return to the makeup scene.
However, the gloss of 2019 will be avastlyimproved version compared to the kinds you may remember.
We can breathe a collective sigh of relief for that.
New York City-based makeup artistMargina Dennisalso foresees the use of non-sticky gloss throughout 2019.
“People are ready for hydrated lips,” she toldThe List.
Ain’t that the truth.
Makeup artistMargina DennistoldThe Listthat she expects to see even “more products containing hyaluronic acid.”
She further explained that it “helps to hydrate the skin and maintain this hydration as a humectant.”
According to the doctor, it can actually “hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water.”
There’s no doubt that hydration is going to be ahugepart of both skin care andmakeup routinesin 2019.
Anything that can simplify that daily routine is going to be a welcome change.
“This is a trend I am hoping to see stick around a while,” she revealed.Mmhmm.
She noted, “It’s a great change from the ultra sculpted/contoured cheeks.”
Introducing: glass skin.
If it sounds a little confusing, don’t worry.
You’re not actually putting glass on or in (eek!)
Instead, glass simply refers to what your skin willlooklike once you’re done.
“Bye bye heavy contours and highlights!
She explained, “This one is perfect for revamping your everyday makeup without too much hard work.”
Plus, as Natalie Kate revealed, it’s not a trend that requires a ton of effort.
And the easier the trend, the more likely we all are to give it a go.
These brightly colored mascaras are sold in many hues, but you’ll still want to choose carefully.
That’s no good!
Glitter everywhere
If you’re a glitter fanatic, 2019 is going to be your year.
Celebrity makeup artist Mary Irwin toldThe Listthat the shimmery substance is going to beeverywhere.
If you’re free to’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, right?
In January 2019,Glamourrevealed their picks for the best new makeup on the market.
Lo and behold, glitter products made the list.
A subtle glitter-based highlighter also made the cut.
Makeup artistNatalie KatetoldThe Listthat “the ‘Instagram’ structured bold brow [is] quickly disappearing.”
Taking their place are “bushy natural brows.”
No fancy schmancy soap required.
This trend has been dubbed “geometric eye makeup” and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
In addition to liners, you could try out plenty of shadows.
Of course, you don’t have to try them all at once.
It does sound confusing.
With this modernized matte finish, you won’t have to worry about your skin looking dull.
“The upward lift will put emphasis on opening the eye,” the expert revealed.
Renowned makeup artistCharlotte Tilburysaid this trend will work oneveryone.
Well, color us impressed!
