Trends change pretty fast. The day before yesterday it was bright contouring that was popular, yesterday it was neon eyeshadows, today it’s “makeup without makeup.” But sometimes makeup artists do things that we don’t even know how to react to.

We at Bright Side watched several fashion shows, scoured makeup artists’ blogs, and found cool makeup tricks that we can’t help but inform you about. The surprise at the end will show you a couple of hairstyles that came back to us from the past and that are popular again.

1. Chunky spider lashes

It seems Dior has gotten inspired by the grunge looks from the ’90s. On the runway, their models’ eyes were contoured with the help of a coal eye pencil or liner. Perfectionism is not trendy today, and that’s why lines can be blurred and inaccurate — it will help your eyes look more expressive.

7. Monochrome makeup

“Zero” eye makeup and bright lips — this trend has already found many fans among makeup artists and ordinary girls. The main thing is to make sure the lipstick is applied accurately, and the contour is clearly defined because your lips will be the center of attention.

15. Eyeshadows around eyes

Smokey eyes have given way to bold eye make-up in a single bright color with practically no shading. The shades of light and dark blue are becoming popular nowadays. However, don’t limit yourself and let your imagination go wild.

16. A combination of bright eyeshadows

A heavy dramatic look has been replaced with a sweet and light one. Bright shades and blurry watercolor strokes will help you get this effect. Unlike dark shadows, which often make the eyes appear smaller, this makeup, on the contrary, makes the look more open.

17. Twiggy-style makeup

This year, makeup artists are inspired by Twiggy-style makeup. Unusual arrows help to visually make the eyes look bigger and give expressiveness to the look. The main rule is that the upper line of the eyeliner should be drawn just above the crease, on the motionless eyelid — otherwise, the makeup should be smeared. Don’t worry if the lines aren’t perfect, it still works and will give off a rock and roll vibe.

Bonus: Hairstyles from the past

In the ’90s, the actresses of TV series showed us how to easily make our look more interesting. It seems that the spiral of beauty brands has gone full circle and that hairstyles from the past have returned to us again. Ponytails near the face with numerous elastic bands and hairstyles with zigzag parts are already here. If you want to return to your youth for a short time, arm yourself with a flat comb with fine teeth and thin transparent elastic bands.

Which of the aforementioned trends would you like to try on yourself?
