Whether you stay home and attend virtual parties or get vaccinated and head out again in real life, it’s that time of year to break out your sundresses and best makeup looks. We’ve seen several looks going viral on Instagram feeds and we can’t wait to try them out ourselves. Make the most of your sexy girl summer with these foolproof makeup trends that will take over 2022.
1. Smokey eyes
This bold and fiery look is fabulous for virtual or in-person gatherings, in all seasons. A smoky eye can be sleek, rock, or minimalist, with a bare face. For a rocker look, makeup artists suggest replacing black eyeliner with taupe, bronze, or mauve. Gray also goes well with smoky looks.
2. Brushed eyebrows
Channel your inner Brooke Shields: big brows are here and they’re here to stay. Whether makeup isn’t your thing or you just want to pair it with a dramatic brow look, use a thoroughly clean mascara wand or brow gel to open up your eyes and turn yourself into a fierce couture model.
3. Glowing looks
If your local beach is too crowded or you’re worried about skin cancer, get that luminous look with a highlighting powder. Bronzer is gone, but this creamy, translucent-looking powder can brighten your cheeks. Highlighting sticks or pens are also a good option – think of them as the new highlighter!
4. Glossy lips
At the moment, matte is in and gloss is in. This look takes us back to our teenage years, when we all had lip gloss in a minimum of 10 different colors. Consider a purple-tinted or pastel gloss, but even a clear gloss can make an all-natural look pop like never before.
5. Rosy cheeks
This look is interpreted in a more minimalist way for 2022. Instead of pairing blush with bold lips or bold eyes, we opted for a blush-cheeked look. The best way to achieve this is with a cream blush that is not too shiny and has a bit of shimmer to it. Scrub the apples of your cheeks, then move up and out with your fingers or a brush.
