gold highlighter

As we prepare to finalize our New Year’s Eve beauty looks, we can’t help but look back at the biggest makeup trends from the season. Whether you spent 2017 obsessing over glowing cheeks or trying to bring your makeup look to the next level, this year offered countless opportunities to glam up. Although the year also saw some incredibly strange trends (such as feathered eyebrows), there were a few makeup looks which we hope will remain strong into the New Year. From playful multicoloured eyelids to the reigning fad of highlighter, here are a few beauty trends that ruled 2017.

Purple highlighter has been making the rounds on the beauty circuit, and is quickly gaining a reputation among the makeup savvy. Popularized by Rihanna and spotted on the gorgeous singer at her Fenty launch party, violet-hued highlighter is now becoming a beauty favourite.
