If you’ve been looking for an excuse to update your beauty routine, this is it!
The winter beauty trends for 2021 are all about reimagined classics. There’s something for everyone from bold lips and blush-focused looks, even a traditional sparkly smokey eye to help you ring in the New Year. One trend that we’ve noticed within the beauty industry for winter 2021 is that ‘90s and Y2K aesthetics are still going strong. You’ll see touches of their looks throughout some of the biggest winter beauty trends of the season.
Draping is one of the biggest technique trends in the beauty industry. It’s all about changing the areas where you apply your blush to give your skin a natural, healthy glow that brightens your complexion. You can expect to see draping take on a second life during winter 2021 as we all try to add a little colour to our cheek. While draping has been taking the editorial beauty world by storm, it’s slowly making its presence known within mainstream, beauty.
During the pandemic, our eye makeup became the focal point of our beauty routine. You can expect this trend to continue through to winter and into spring. For winter, we’re bringing back metallic eyeshadows and intricate shimmer hues for an icy look that will make you the star of every holiday party. Add a metallic wash of colour over your lids with an added touch of shimmer for a Christmas-ready look.
If you drink wine, you’ll know the distinctive stain that it leaves behind on your lips. It’s one of the biggest beauty trends for winter and is perfect for those who like a more subtle look. You can recreate this look with a burgundy lipstick and by lightly applying it to your lips to give the illusion of a stained finish. ‘Noir Modern’ by Chanel is the perfect shade for creating this look.
The festive season is the perfect time to add a little embellishment to your makeup bag. Take your eye makeup to the next level with the help of stick on pearls and crystals. You can even throw in a little glitter shadow or eyeliner to go all out for your makeup look. The perfect way to carry this beauty trend is by balancing it with a flawless base to help make your eyes pop even more.
The 2000s called, they want their frosty blue eyeshadow back. If you don’t have this colour in your makeup bag, it’s time to make another investment. You can expect to see all the classic 2000s eyeshadow shades to make a major comeback in the winter beauty trends.
It’s not all eye trends for winter 2021. If you’re not a fan of gloss, now is your time to shine. The classic ‘90s matte lips trend is back and having a major moment. You can give the trend a contemporary feel by using a satin-matte lipstick in a plum or cranberry hue for a seasonal feel.
The ‘grunge girl’ aesthetic is having a comeback thanks to TikTok. If you want to add a touch of this aesthetic to your makeup look, take a heavier hand with your eyeliner and embrace your inner rock-star. This makeup trend is another one where you want to balance an intense eye look against a flawless base.
We’re still obsessing over fluffy brows – they’re a modern classic and quickly entering ‘timeless’ territory. If you’re still wearing a face mask, your brows are just as important for your makeup looks. For winter 2021, it’s all about creating natural looking brows and arches. You want to avoid overdrawn brows and instead focus on a full and fluffy look. A new brow gel and pencil will be your BFF for winter makeup looks.
