Biggest Beauty Trends to Try in 2021

Beauty Trends

2021 is the year a lot will change. From turning a new leaf to becoming a healthier nation, we have a lot left to accomplish. 2020 changed how we live, work and socialize, and brought significant changes in our beauty regimes.

This year, as we go about our new normal behind face masks, our makeup trends will adapt to meet the moment. We’re going to have brighter and more attention-grabbing eyes and some exciting nail trends.

What else can we look forward to from the beauty industry? Let’s discuss that below:

1.    Fluffed Up Big Girls

Since we can’t grab much attention with all of our faces this year, we’re going to grab it alright with voluminous, significant, and super fluffy curls. You may think of it as the return of your mom’s hair from the ‘80s.

Hair trends are going to be all about natural texture and tons of variations in the curl department.

2.    Eyes will shine Brighter

Colorful eye makeup will take the lead, and we will see more of the euphoria-inspired trends. 2021 is going to be the year for bolder, bigger, and brighter eye shadow colors. You may want to consider eye looks resembling a rainbow.

3.    Natural Skin

We lived through times of matte and heavy makeup. Then we shifted to a sloppier, dolphin-like wet and glistening look. In 2021, we’re going to embrace our natural beauty without the layer of cosmetic products on. The industry will celebrate the natural skin, and beauty trends will veer towards the not-too-matte yet not-too-dewy looks either.

We will see concealers, foundations, and powders that resemble our natural skin and highlighting its natural texture.

4.    Natural Nails

Nail artists from the industry are predicting this year will see more neutral gel manicures. There will be more matte or glossier nails, a look that will aim at elongating our fingers. The new nail trends will incorporate some sparkles or a gold accent for a little extra touch for a delicately glamorous but not overpowering look.

5.    Bolder Brows

Quarantining all of last year did not allow eyebrow grooming for nearly all the women around the world. This allowed everyone to grow out their brows, but this will become a notable trend this year.

We will see more defined and filled in brows, and honestly, they look utterly bold and sexy.

6.    Thin Winged Eyeliner

Thanks to Bella Hadid, who popularized the “fox eye” look, we’ll see even more focus on the winged liner looks. We sported thick and long wings until last year, but we’re going to see quite a refreshing change. Eyeliner looks will favor more casual and breezy lines that will wing out only slightly at the ends.

7.    Face-Framing Hair Colors

This year face-framing bold hair colors from the ’90s are going to have a comeback, but with better variations. We will see beauty trends along with chunkier highlights framing the face and vivid shades.

Final Thoughts

2021 is going to the year we all will revitalize and revamp, and it seems the beauty industry is on the same mission. Some exciting new trends are looming above the horizon, and each promises to make us dazzle like never before.

Dupes for Your Favorite High-End Skincare Products

High-End Skincare Dupes

Let’s face it, girls: high-end skincare products are one of our greatest weaknesses. Our favorite products can make our hearts beat faster with joy but can empty our wallets equally fast too.

So we decided to round up the best dupes we have found for your preferred high-end products. They offer nearly the same results. The best part? You don’t have to break the bank for these:

This product is the best dupe for Bioderma and comes at half the price. The best part is that it lifts away dirt, makeup layers, and oil without stripping the moisture from your skin. We definitely recommend this for you!

2.    Radiance-Boosting Vitamin C Mask

This is a super-effective brightening mask that combines the goodness of vitamin C with some powerful hydrating ingredients. If you’re looking for something similar to the Superberry Hydrate and Glow Dream Mask by your favorite luxury brand, then this one is it.

You can apply it over any dry, rough, and cracked patch on your lips and watch it disappear as well as the high-product would make it.

5.    Organic Marula Oil by InstaNatural

We know you love the Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil by Drunk Elephant. We do too, but we decided it’s not worth getting into debt over, especially if we can find an equally good yet reasonable option with InstaNatural.

It gives you all the glow you dream of and revitalizes your skin like a dream.

6.    Overnight Retinol Oil

Have you been looking for a retinol oil that contains an effective, moisturizing and gentle solution? You can get these three in a super friendly dupe of Sunay Riley’s Luna Sleeping Night oil in Pixi’s line. This brand gives you the same effect, comes in a similar packaging at the same great quality but only at a super pocket-friendly budget.

Every makeup-loving diva has drooled over the Biologique Recherche’s P501970. The best dupe for this product is the Knockout Tingle Treatment Toner by Tarte. It has super pH balancing potential, clears blemishes, and resurfaces your skin.

8.    Retinol Correxion Eye Cream

We know you are among the fans of Shiseido’s Benefiance cream for smoothing wrinkles under the eye. The most budget-friendly and high-quality dupe we have found for you is from Roc. It contains retinol, clears wrinkles and dark circles, targets your puffiness, and has super moisturizing effects. You don’t need to splurge on high-end brands when you have a dupe this good.

Final Goods

High-end brands deliver excellent quality and remarkable results but all at exorbitant prices. The innovations in the industry have given rise to multiple other high-quality and pocket-friendly brands. You can now find some of the best dupes in stores that deliver fantastic results too at super reasonable prices.

2.    Tranexamic Acid

Skincare experts tell us that mask-wearing will continue, but it can somewhat damage the skin. To keep our skin healthy, experts are recommending products with tranexamic acid for balancing and minimizing pigmentation.

This will help maskne, actinic damage, and post acneic scars too.

This skincare ingredient will possibly take the lead and be the leading trend. You know why? Because it is like hyaluronic acid. If that is your favorite, then this one will be too because it binds water just as well.

This is a gentler and plant-derived version of retinol. It will balance the overall texture and tone of your skin and support collagen production as well. Furthermore, this ingredient has the potential to clear sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles on your skin.

The Best Makeup for Dry, Winter Skin

Makeup For Dry Skin

Winter months are somewhat more challenging than summers when it comes to makeup application. The dry, cracking, itching and breaking skin looks worse under some products, and if someone has sensitive skin, God forbid, the result is nothing short of disastrous.

Your skin loses its suppleness, mainly in part to the dry and heated air inside, combining with the harshness of the cold weather outside. Besides, when you take showers amid the combination of weather elements, it tends to damage your skin more.

Hence, we rounded up some of the best makeup for winter skin for you.

This product by Kosas is the best for winter skin because of the beautiful oils in it. The concoction contains jojoba, red raspberry, meadowfoam, rosehip, avocado, and more. This foundation is perfect for hydrating your skin and giving light coverage with an extra glow.

This product is one of the best that exists currently for winter skins. It is a tinted-moisturizer that is fragrance and paraben-free but nourishes all skin types for an entire day. The product contains a magnificent blend of aloe water and hyaluronic acid to give maximum dewiness and skin health.
