Retrospective of 2021 make-up trends
We are already coming to the end of this year 2021, a year full of emotions, in change for the world, but also in trends. Always at the heart of our concerns despite the sinister climate installed since the beginning of 2020, beauty allows us to express ourselves and bring a touch of cheerfulness and hope. Thus, all women express themselves in their own way through makeup, and this, for centuries. So, what could be better than a retrospective of the 2021 makeu-up trends for this latest article of the year? Ready to relive with us the great makeup techniques of last year, which we think will still have a good future in 2022? It’s this way!
Key trends for 2021
Of the major makeup trends of 2021, some lasted only a few months. Others have sublimated us throughout the year, but will not be able to win as soon as 2022 has pointed the tip of its nose. On the contrary, technical trends on which we would not have relied will install sustainably in the coming year. There are generally general trends, adapting to all types of women regardless of their age, skin tone or style. It is these that we will discuss later in this article.
The pastel eye liner
The pastel liner was born in 2021 and established itself throughout the seasons. It pleases a lot, because it allows to create different styles from the most classic to the most original. All shades are allowed as long as they are pastel. This eye makeup is indeed the big trend of the moment. We saw him wearing blue, green, orange yellow and pink this summer. For colder seasons, it comes in shades of violet, blue, but also pearly white. It allows you to give free rein to your creativity and can be perfectly matched to the color of your eyes.
Healthy glow skin tone
We want the same thing in terms of complexion: to have a radiant, fresh and luminous complexion, as naturally as possible. You should know that the makeup of the complexion is the basis of any successful beauty. The advantage of the 2021 trend in terms of the make-up of the complexion and that it is lightweight. Indeed, during this year we had to have a flawless complexion without superfluous layers. Our favorite ally is the concealer coupled with a very fluid and light foundation or a cream BB. For the glowy side, the highlighter illuminator is in all beauty kits in 2021.
The inspiration of the 1980s
We know that fashion is an everlasting renewal. Yet we did not expect the 1980s to make their big comeback in 2021. But, the thick and bushy eyebrows, the eyeshadows in the shades of blue and violin widely applied, as well as the eyelashes effect fly paws mascara are the formal proof. However, as the techniques have evolved, makeup is becoming more sophisticated than it was 40 years ago, and so much the better!
The graphic liner
2021 added chilli to the classic eyeliner line. The latter effect has been more graphical in recent months. The liner line, black or coloured, must then be drawn at the base of the eyelid (by brush or kohl pencil) and stretched throughout the orbital arch. For a surprising and very glamorous effect.
Greedy Lips
Although the wearing of the mask has become widespread, it is out of the question to neglect the makeup of the lips for many of us. Exit the matte lipsticks, and place the glossy tints! Red, pink or peach pigment colours will be enhanced with a touch of gloss to make lips greedy. They can however be dressed in natural by wearing only a transparent gloss, or nude. And on holiday, nothing like glittery gloss.
Back to the 1960s?
In the final months of 2021, we saw that the beauty of the 1960s was re-emerging on the podium. As for the 1980s, the evolution of techniques makes it possible to reclaim the styles of yesterday. Time for psychedelic makeup, especially as regards eye makeup (eye shadow). This is just the beginning: you may see this makeup trend everywhere in 2022.
Freckles
One trend that may have made you smile is creating colorful freckles. Very original, this fashion has distinguished itself on social networks via beauty tutorials of influencers. It’s about adding a little cheerfulness to your face by drawing freckles of the shade you want.
False eyelashes
Previously reserved for film and reality TV stars, false eyelashes have conquered all women. This is due to simplified and safe installation techniques. Moreover, the rendering is so aesthetic that it would be a shame to do without it.
Eyebrow stretches upwards
You couldn’t miss this trend: eyebrows are high-perched to make your eyes look bigger. Although this may seem surprising at first glance, it must be admitted that it adds an enormous amount of intensity and depth to the gaze. If you are still skeptical about the trend, know that it is likely to settle permanently from the beginning of 2022. In short, you’ll have to get used to it!
We hope this 2021 Makeu-Up Trendsretrospective will have allowed you to remember and relive with us the evolution of makeup throughout this year. Finally, we can add that we did not mention red lipstick in our 2021 retrospective, even though it was very present in 2021. More than a trend, it is today a timeless irreplaceable lip makeup. See you in 2022 for more tips and make-up info!
