new beauty trends

  There’s never a shortage of beauty trends and one of the strangest to come out in some time is nicknamed the “penis facial”. Created by celebrity facialist Georgia Louise, penis facial fans include Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. Blanchett talked to Vogue Australia about her experience with the “penis facial”. “Sandy Bullock and I […]

Popularized by experimental beauty gurus who are eager for an edgy new look, the reverse cat eye focuses on eyeliner applied under the lower lash line. Rather than swiping your liquid liner on your top eyelids as you normally would, this look quite literally flips the trend on its head.

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.

If you’re looking for a new twist on your usual rainbow eyelids, you may want to consider the rising trend of stained glass makeup. Staying true to the theme of stained glass, the makeup trend features brightly coloured eyeshadow applied in a type of block formation. The bright rainbow shades mimic the beauty of an artful stained glass window.

If you’re wondering how to revamp your beauty look for the autumn months, look no further than the trend of powder blue eyeshadow. With colourful eyes making a splash this year, beauty lovers can instantly brighten their eyelids and prepare to stun the crowds.

Last year, it was ice cream nails that made a splash in the world of beauty, with their confectionary shades and intricate detail inspired by the frozen dairy dessert. One year later, beauty addicts have found a new way to truly celebrate the official treat of summer. As we greet Summer 2017, it’s ice cream makeup which is quickly lighting up faces all over Instagram.

While inside every woman is a little girl fascinated by unicorns, this mystical beast has also been inspiring a number of makeup looks for the modern lady. Although unicorn horn eyeliner first made a splash last year, unicorn beauty has been elevated to entirely new heights since then. With its soft explosion of violet, mauve and light blue tones, unicorn makeup can truly transform you into a fantastical beauty.

While blue mascara was once a dreaded beauty trend which was avoided by many, this makeup fad has since re-emerged as a must-try look. With late 1980s and early 1990s fashions currently reigning supreme, blue mascara also channels the era which has been displayed on the season’s runways.

While many of us have been rocking bright red lipstick all winter long, the arrival of Spring 2017 means that warmer, sunny beauty looks are around the corner. Whether you plan to escape on a tropical getaway or simply strut the streets of your hometown, there’s nothing quite like a hint of tangerine brightness to rejuvenate your visage.

Beauty lovers may be used to painting their faces with a myriad of hues, but the newest makeup trend takes the look even further with an explosion of neon hues. Although it’s certainly a jarring look which may not be suitable for every day, neon makeup may be an ideal choice for the beauty rebel with a love of experimental colours.

While the look of punchy, vivid eyeshadow may have been popular in the 1980s, it looks like Spring 2017’s beauty trends are increasingly drawing their inspiration from the past.

As the latest trend to hit the universe (pun intended), galaxy makeup can truly be spotted from another world. Much like its close cousin galaxy freckles, this shimmering makeup trend involves bright pops of blue and purple makeup.

With rainbow freckles and glitter tears already making their grand entrance on social media, the latest trend in quirky alternative beauty was clearly just around the corner. Galaxy freckles may appear to be from another planet, but they are quickly causing a sensation right here on Earth.

With trends like glitter-accented eyebrows making a splash this season, it’s clear that colour and vibrant energy are in the air for summer. Although you may be accustomed to your classic dark blue and black mascara for everyday use, the look of rainbow-hued lashes is a perfect way to revitalize your makeup statement.
