SPRING 2020 makeup trends: get the look, inspo. + current obsessions

This spring...

it seems that the 2020 trends that are trickling in are taking a more bold + out of the box approach with beauty to compliment the softer, more delicate fashion trends we're seeing. (at least that's how I see it!) Below I have outlined a few makeup trends that are too good to NOT hop on the trend bandwagon! From abstract liners to embellished eyes, this years trends are something you won't want to take your eyes off of! (hehe, get it?)

the trends

GLASS SHINE + FRESH FACE WITH BOLD LIPS

No, not shiny – shineee. This trend is just as it sounds; the goal is to end up with a completely clear, radiant, glowy appearance to the skin. Glass skin is a huge trend in k-beauty + personally, one of my absolute favorite because it gives such a healthy overall look to the skin. I love this trend because it also embraces our natural beauty. Yes, we are still using product + applying to give the glass shine effect but we are in no means 'hiding' the skin of its natural beauty and to me, that's a win in itself. I love using a face oil to prep my skin before applying face product, that way your skin is incredibly hydrated, plump + ready to shine. Using a clear gloss across any natural shadow will give that really beautiful glossy look, I love using Patchology's Gloss to Balm because it doesn't wear off as quickly as some others! Go for a less sticky/tacky option all around. 

Most days, my routine is very simple, quick + natural. I love playing up features that naturally enhance beauty. For a lot of people, this type of look is typical for days off or running errands,  but paired with a full brow, glass-like natural glow and a bold plum lip, you can easily achieve this trend + elevate your overall look and take on those grocery stores in a fierce way.
p.s. this is such an easy day to night transitioning trend! Trying adding some faux freckles (I use Urban Decays brow blade + a beauty blender) during the day + pop on a bold lip with a fox inspired eye look in than 5 ffor night!

​No one likes an overly oily or slick look, so not fetch. Finding the perfect balance of hydrating your skin while keeping oil production at bay can be tricky. To help combat oil, try out Laura Mercier's oil control primer to help set a base before you get your glow on.  One of my favorite products to give a glass appearance is CoverFx Radiance drops. (p.s. less is more with this product!) I also use Bobbi Brown Illuminating Balm (I have tried ALOT of illuminating balms - this one takes the win!) to give an overal radiant dewey glow before applying foudnation + Illuminating Powder to softly set the look while adding a subtle shimmer that doesn't dry skin.

PASTEL SHADES + EMBELLISHED EYES

Alright, I am ALL for this trend. I have seen some beautiful makeup looks featuring this trend + every time they are elegant, eye catching + adds the perfect pop to any outfit. The trend is versatile enough to really work with several different looks + try using duo lash glue as an adhesive. I've found this gives the best hold compared to glitter adhesive! I've found that using the back end of a metal sew pin works great for placing the pearls or doing intricate art.

Hello, Breakfast at Tiffany's vibes.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK
Decide on an overall concept/theme for your look. Are you going business chic with a simple cat eye + spaced pearls on top? Or a more 90's aesthetic with a bold blue like the one below?
Once you have your idea, begin with your shadow, finalizing the look to its full completion.  Then using the tail end of tweezers, place the duo white or clear glue on the back of your hand dabbing slightly with the end of the tweezers then taking this dabbing motion while moving along your lid where you are going to place the pearls. Use the tweezers to lightly dip the back end of the pearl in the glue, let dry for 1 minute then place on lid. I've found using the glue on BOTH lid + pearl/embellishment helps the longevity + strength of the bond. 

If you need help guiding the line + aren't comfortable free-handing yet, try taking a lighter or darker shadow in the same color scheme as your lid and thinly + very lightly place your line. You can do this technique too when doing cat eyes!

ABSTRACT LINER + WATERCOLOR EYES

I am absolutely LOVING this trend. I am bit OCD when it comes to cleanliness + organization so I love the overall clean look of this makeup trend as well as the artistic beauty behind doing a water color style eye look. 


HOW TO GET THE LOOK
I love usingKat Von D's Brow Pomade in white + using a thin liner or fine paint brush (mix with a bit of water to get a looser consistency) + you can easily build any vibrant color over and the white pigment will intensify the shade even further.  A white liner like this NYX one will work great for intense white lines as well!

This cream color palette can help you create beautiful full face works of art.

So pick your vibe, color scheme and get creating!
