2021 flew by very quickly and we had all of the beauty trends popping out through all different lockdowns and in person. I feel like 2021 had some good trends compared to a lot of the past years.
A lot of the make-up this have been looks that are so natural that they look like no make-up has been applied. Or, there is just minimal make-up that keeps it fully natural. I love looks when they are very glowy and bronzed. Gorgeous!
The bronzed, natural look is so beautiful. Another trend going around is the glossy red/ Burgundy lip that is very pretty. Along with the feathered eyebrows. The feathered/ laminated eyebrows have been very popular this year. They are natural and have nothing done to them.
You can laminate your eyebrows by:
- Ensure your eyebrows are clean and have no products in them. If so, clean with a cleaning solution or whatever you use to remove your make-up and product.
- Use a spoolie to brush your brow hairs up and coat them with a layer of eyelash glue. Once you have applied the glue, brush your brows once more to make sure they all stand up.
- After you have brush your brows again, apply the perming solution with whatever you have but it is suggested to use a Q-tip. Put it on in an upwards direction.
- Get a large sheet of cling film and place it over the top of your eyebrows. Leave it on for 8-10 minutes and wipe off the solution with micellar water with a cotton pad after your time is up.
- Apply setting solution to your brows and repeat the process as the step before with a Q-tip, then a clean sheet of cling film that stays on for 8-10 minutes. Wipe away the solution with micellar water and a cotton pad again.
- Groom your brows to your preference. You may need to trim or pluck the occasional hair to create a nice polished finish.
- Try not to get your brows wet or apply makeup to them for 24 hours to make sure they last longer. Comb through your brows with nourishing oil and a spoolie every night before you to keep them healthy.
There has also been a lot of black-winged liquid eyeliner. It is the most glam part of the whole face in these looks that have been going around. Wouldn’t you usually put liquid winged eyeliner on a full-face glam look? Not today!
It does look really pretty though, I definitely can’t get the perfect wing, especially on both sides. How do you even get it symmetrical? That is talent. I love the natural look with black-winged eyeliner to make it look finished off. Adding in a couple of freckles with an eyebrow pencil… stunning!
I feel like the base of your make-up is what everyone is trying to perfect because that is what you start with and you could basically just put on some foundation or even just concealer if you want it extra natural. Add some contour and bronzer for the glow, summer look and some blush.
Many people forget about the blush or don’t want to use it in their make-up routine but I have found that it brings back the life in your face. It also makes you look sun-kissed if you brush it slightly across your nose.
Add some highlighter all over your face, some mascara, brush up your brows and add a gloss. You have a beautiful natural Summer type look. You could even add a light eyeshadow on your eyes or even a touch of your bronzer in there if you can’t be bothered.
Make-up can be so simple but effective.
