Makeup trends always
have things that are going in and out. It can be something that is hard to keep up with. Here are five makeup trends to look out for during prom season and summertime.
1. Dewy Makeup
Having that glowy
finish can be the perfect combination of skincare and makeup. It promotes a more natural look with less amount of makeup. By getting that glossy finish it also helps makeup last all day. According to the makeup website Lancome Paris, at www.lancome.com “The dewy makeup look calls for a long-lasting glow that meshes with the skin – and never looks shiny or oily. It’s a delicate balance that isn’t always easy to accomplish…”
2. Strawberry Makeup
Next up is the
strawberry makeup trend. According to the ELLE fashion website at www.elle.com, “the strawberry makeup trend draws inspiration from the much-loved summer fruit, emphasizing strawberry-flavored and -scented products and a berry-centric palette of pinks and reds.” Strawberry makeup helps create the perfect shade of natural blush, which could also be used on lips or eyelids. This trend was inspired by model and media personality Hailey Bieber with her line of lip gloss entitled Rhode. This is the perfect look for the summer because it gives off the perfect pop of color that would look natural and fresh in the sunlight.
3. Latte Makeup
Latte makeup is a look
that primarily focuses on the nudes and browns. It gives the face a warm and very bronzy look. This look is mostly about creating a palette of nude colors that is catered to your skin tone. According to graziemagazine.com, “At the core of the trend, latte makeup makes use of monochromatic and complementary brown tones to create a lit-from-within, copper-coloured glow. As the 55.3 million TikTok content creators who have tried the trend themselves would agree, the smoked bronze style is perfect for those searching for gilded, resort makeup all year round.” This look also resembles the dewy makeup talked about earlier because it also can give off a summer glow.
4. Champagne Makeup
This can be the perfect
look for prom. It has a gold shimmer in the eyelids, which can be great for a special occasion. This look is more dramatic than the others, with its winged liner and sometimes heavy highlight. Matching the color of a prom dress on eyelids and cheeks can help make the whole outfit look cohesive and give a soft glam to the face.
5. Coquette makeup
Lastly we have
Coquette makeup. Coquette makeup mainly focuses on soft pinks, creating a very girly look. This look is playful and has a soft palette with the look of smooth skin. It also uses lots of blush, with the idea of the more the better. According to fashion and beauty website InStyle, at instyle.com, “it emphasizes colors like soft-focus pinks, a shimmer finish, and, importantly, flushed cheeks — which adds to its hyper-feminine feel.” This makeup look has the
idea of a thousand compliments coming your way, or thinking about your crush all the time. Overall makeup trends are always changing and evolving, but it is important to remember that your skin is supposed to feel comfortable at all times. Figure out a look that makes you feel your best at all times – even if that’s no makeup at all.
