People say those beauty standards are subjective, as everyone approaches them as per their preferences. Still, we cannot deny the role of media in setting the standards and trends for the general public. These beauty trends change every now and then, and people follow them religiously. Lately, dermatologists and beauticians have introduced a variety of services that ware very effective in enhancing a person's features. People do not hesitate to spend a hefty amount on these services as they believe that physical attractiveness is essential for self-confidence.
Change is the only constant thing, and we have been seeing trends emerging and fading away. The commencement of a new decade means that there will be innumerable exciting beauty trends, many of which will make a comeback from earlier times, while some will be modern. Since this is the age where technology has taken over many industries, the beauty industry is no exception. Technology has given a wave to beauty trends, and people are now accepting and adopting this change. It has not made lots of beauty process less time consuming but also narrowed down the margin of error.
Universities and institutes are offering courses in different avenues of beauty. From courses for botox and fillers, a range of courses covering skin and hair care and also a variety of makeup courses are offered. Nowadays, people are enthusiastic about taking these courses as the general public is indulging and spending more money on beauty trends than ever. However, not everyone has a sound understanding of ongoing trends, we have listed some of these that, according to experts, are most likely to dominate this year.
1. Skin Treatments
People have lately realized the importance of having healthy skin and do not shy away in undertaking treatments to improve skin quality. This year consumers will be more inclined towards acquiring bright and glossy skin. Facials, oil massages, plasma treatments are going to stay as they are an easy way and deliver results in a few applications.
2. Cool Tones
Almost the whole decade, warm tones dominated the beauty industry, but a change is visible in approach towards tones. Blue, green, purple and pinks are making a comeback on eyelids. This enhances the eyes and gives an illusion of bigger eyes.
3. Fluffy Eyebrows
The days are gone by when people used to spend a lot of time to trim and brim eyebrows so that they appear properly in shape. The new trend is to have undone and full brows instead of thin arch ones. Last year there was too much focus on brows and having brow treatment was high in demand. Beauticians are commenting that this has become a thing of past now, and feathery, fluffy eyebrows are the look for this year.
4. Hovering Eyeliner
Whenever the beauty trends change, eyeliner goes into transformation, and a different style of liner becomes trendy. This year's eyes are taking the spotlight, and bright coloured liner are here to stay. Neon shades, turquoise and bright pink on eyes is the new trend that is going to stay for a while.
5. Crystal Nails
Nail art has primarily monopolized the trend in the last few years, and we saw a lot of creativity in this range. A new trend in nail art has already started making waves, and that is to have crystals on tips of nails. Various do-it-yourself tutorials are on the Internet available to have crystals on cuticles or tips, and salons are also offering this service.
6. More than just Blush
The blush never goes out of the trend and has always been a staple in a makeup routine. Last few years a tint of blush on the apple of cheeks was just sufficient, but now blown up blush is the new beauty inclination. The 70s approach of wearing blush on cheekbones and diffusing it with eye shadow is returning.
7. Embellishments
Embellishments have always been a part of beauty trends, and this year is no different. However, lately, embellishments in the hair are the new way of hairdo. Knotted braids with pearls, flowers in buns and high ponytails with a crystal band are on the rise.
8. Dewey Skin
While highlighted cheekbones are not a new trend, but this year's glossy face is the new look. People are seen highlighting inner corners of eyes, cheekbones, temples, and jawlines and giving the whole face a glassy look.
9. Subtle Lips
A shade on lips enhances the whole look of a face, and a face devoid of lipstick seems incomplete. Although there is no single trend of lipsticks as it usually depends on the overall makeup of face, a pattern of having subtle colours on the lip is already making its way. Lip stains are a new word in makeup dictionary, and it gives a soft touch of dreamy colour. It is low maintenance as it mingles with bold eyes as well as with nude eyes.
10. Fillers
Going under the knife for enhancing features is not a new trend and while a decline can be seen in it; it still is very much in demand. People spend money and invest time to have fresh skin and appear younger. Having botox, lip and cheek fillers is a way to achieve it. As the name suggests, filler fills up the cheeks and makes it appear fluffier but not fat. Getting artificial volume in features of a face is a trend that people are not ready to let go of.
Conclusion
Every year comes with innovative ways of enhancing lips, skin, hair, and nails. This year people are more inclined towards skincare, and a change in approach is visible as they are spending more on skin treatments rather than on makeup services. However, beauty trends always stay in demand and rotation. Bold eyeliner and nude lips are making a comeback and so are hairdos with accessories. A general approach will be accepting drama on eyes and acting cool about it. This year some interesting and fascinating looks have already made the news, and chances are there are many more to follow.
