Introduction

Every now and again, one stumbles across trends and styles, products, and techniques with which she is not familiar. Considering the fact that we are in the year 2024 there are several makeup trends that are expected to be huge this year. Whether it is a new contouring technique or eyeliner design, whether it is radiant skin or juicy colors, makeup artists and cosmetic companies alike are on top of the trends that are shaping the future of the industry.

In this article, let me share with you some of the famous types of makeup that you should look forward to this 2023. Whether it is the modern style type, whom change their style with the latest trends, or those who take more traditional approach in dressing, these trends will give you an idea of what to expect in the next year in the beauty department.

Minimalist Base

One emerging niche is that base makeup becomes lighter and tends to be as minimalistic as possible. This year it has come down to minimalism when it comes to the coverage of the skin and the application of the makeup products.

Skin-Like Finishes
With the over-matte and over-dewy finishes that were promoted in the past, more skin-like satin finishes of base products are now trending for that skin-like look. Luminizers are then being applied in a careful and intentional manner to illuminate the areas of the face that would naturally catch light. The final result is the smooth natural skin tone with no heavy makeup look and at the same time it helps to conceal some blemish.

Sheer Coverage
In addition to satin finish, sheen types, and light coverage foundations, there is an increase in the use of tinted moisturizers. In the same manner, buildable coverage is currently trending, while cake-y full coverage is now considered unbecoming. Instead of having a thick layer of fabric which covers the skin, a smooth layer over a thin layer of skin with some skin covering allows skin to have some of its natural texture and sheen.

Clean Ingredients
There is also a focus on natural when it comes to base makeup trends that have been fashionable this year. Now, products that are manufactured using non toxic natural components that are friendly to the skin are preferred as compared to the ones containing toxic chemicals. Blurring, sheer, and silky, these textures don’t include heavy waxes or oils that would lead to breakouts or inflammation.

Graphic Eyeliner

Interest in bold and unique eyeliner designs remains strong for the coming year, as Fashion Unfiltered shows. From wings to abstract shapes, colorful liners are being used to make ‘eye-catching’ bold eye statements.

Colored Wings
Makeup trends will be always different but the black winged eyeliner will always be a thing but adding a little color to cat eyes is expected to be big. Houndstooth, navy, hunter green, and shocking pink liner shades add an edgy, today’s magazine spin to this traditional silhouette.

Artsy Shapes
Apart from coloured wings, Eyeliner is being used as abstract shapes, spots and graphic elements around the lash line. The placement of these fun liner designs is in juxtaposition to the curvilinear of the eye area, and this gives nice effects.

Double Liner
Another technique that is also coming to the forefront is the use of two lines of liner- the first on the upper lash line and the second below the lower lashes. Lining the same eye really emphasizes eyes and makes them pop which is what double liner does. This trend allows much leeway in regard to liner shape, liner thickness, and liner color.

Metallic Accents
For a more richness, there is likely to be metallic liners in the instruments as accent color. Gold, silver, copper and other shining liners along the border of matte pencil liners look stunning when applied on the lid. They create a sophisticated look and can turn a simple liner into a piece of art.

Vibrant Colors

Another emerging trend is the intensification of color, especially in the eye, cheeks, and lips. Consumers are fed up with the monotony that has been the trend for the last few years and are now interested in experimenting with bright and fun colors.

Bright Eye Shadows
In terms of eye makeup, bright shades of oranges, pinks, greens, blues and purples are expected to be on the trend in this year. Evening shades of the pastel hues will also appear as light veined versions of the richer, intense jewelry tones. Shimmers as well as Mattes in bright and vibrant hues are both perfect for eye looks.

Sculpted Cheeks
On the cheeks, intense shades that range from pink to berry and including coral notes are replacing matte bronzers for sculpting. Cream blushes and sheer products can be applied with the intention of gradually adding layers to the skin for the soft yet naturally vibrant finish.

Vibrant Lips
Lip brightness will also have its day – with lips painted in bright, saturated shades. Mattes in deeper shades, fuchsias, oranges – these are the new bold lip looks in luminous and matte lacquers. Picking a lighter shade of red for just the center of the lips is an option to incorporate the trend without having to become too provocative.

Blurred Lip Lines

Apart from bright pigments, one unique tending lip designs is sheen and blurred lip contours for a natural appearance of the lips. Liner, gloss, and lipstick applied strategically makes lips to appear slightly blurred, which gives a modern bitten look.

Smudged Lip Liner
When lips are lined and filled with pencil it is advisable to smudge the tips of the pencil with a brush to blur the edges making the Lines hazy. For this, nude and neutral liners would be most suitable as quite dark shades would appear harsh if blended.

Glossy Edges
When gloss is applied at the center of the lips only and spread towards the perimeters it gives a pretty gloss look and also, hides the border. The clear layer of the gloss ensures that lip color, while it adds sheen and permits the light to bounce off it.

Stained Blotted Lips
Last, lips stained with tints and liquified lipsticks give lips a natural bleed and unstippled look on the border. Leaving them like this or blotting for a soft matte surface allows for an airbrushed look to the lips.

Glazed Skin

For complexions, the trend is how luminous, bright, glossy, fresh the skin can look like. Shiny products like the glosses, illuminators will be applied more deliberately within make-up regimen for the ultimate polished skin look.

Liquid Highlighters
Water-soluble stick and liquid versions are being used to tap on the skin before the application of foundation for luminous makeup look. With skincare on top of the natural radiance seen through makeup, the best is brought out from within.

Glazing Glosses
Clear and tinted face glosses are among the best products to replace powder highlighters as they provide glow and hydration to the skin. When applied and blended on the cheeks and on the areas where bones are prominent, such as the cheeks and forehead bones, they become one with the skin to leave skin glistening and dewy without that puffy texture.

Luminous Blush Toppers
In the same way, liquid and cream luminizers incorporated into cream blushes makes the later very much glowy. He applies these two formulas in equal portions, which gives the shine of jelly, which contemporarily revitalises the skin.

Non-Shimmery Shine
As a further development of the glass skin effect, the subtle luminosity that is not accompanied by the effects of shimmer particles will appear. It is imperative that after the procedure the skin appears moist and radiant and not like some booty from a disco. Silicones, plant extracts, and oils in cosmetics maintain refined glow and make the skin look smoother.

Wellness-Inspired Makeup

Another trend that will set the tone is that beauty is no longer just makeup and there is such a concept as skinification of makeup. Skin healthy, makeup that fits into the self care beauty rituals will now gain significant attention.

Skin-Care Hybrids
To consumers who are keen on their skin, the fact that the makeup products have dual functions of skin treatment, they will find this appealing. Even more, base and cover products, as well as color cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid, peptides, ceramides, and antioxidant will hit the shelves.

Adaptogens & Calming Botanicals
The formulas for cosmetics will also include adaptogenic herbs and plants that support wellness and botanicals that help in reducing stress. When it comes to beauty care, self-care, and skin care regimens, they are generally beneficial to health.

Minimal Ingredient Lists
This comes in the wake of the increasing support for the clean beauty movement hence meaning that more brands will continue to develop products with very simple and easily recognizable ingredients. Consumers are paying attention to ingredients and desiring formulas that contain fewer hazardous substances and irritants.

Mindful Beauty Approaches
Last but not the least, using the principles of mindfulness in beauty processes aligns with the idea of wellness makeup. Having skin treatments and other products leads to concentration on internal rather than external appearance.

Conclusion
From my favorite skin-perfecting minimalism and face-framing graphic liner art to the most covered trend, makeup trends for 2023 are versatile. Opaque colours revive cheeks and lips with new brilliance as glossy finishes provide glass-like shine. Even though, application methods and production of products are also based on holistic self care principles. As time goes on, one could look forward to these trends being integrated in social media platforms all over, the runway shows and even on the shelves of your favorite makeup stores. Whether you opt for less makeup this year or more – do it and enjoy what you feel comfortable and fabulous in!
