One thing was clear in 2021: We’re ready to wear makeup again. And 2022 will keep that trend going with a few looks that are all about being your most extra, colorful, and glittery self. That said, some of the biggest trends will also appeal to our more minimalist side, from complexion-enhancing foundation to eco-minded packaging. Read on for the makeup looks we’re predicting will be huge in 2022.
Resist the urge to try the '90s skinny brow (trust us on this one), and instead try a laminated look like Bridgerton star Simone Ashley's.
For the record: We're very pro-SPF around here. But there's no denying that a sunkissed glow can be pretty gorg. Fake it 'til you make it using a more pink or red blush than you think you should, and tracing the color across the bridge of your nose and up to your temples.
Strategically placed lip stain gives this bright, unserious vibe (that happens to go perfectly with bold blush—just saying).
The #cleangirlaesthetic is taking over TikTok, with videos containing the hashtag #cleangirlmakeup amassing over 144 million views. Anne Hathaway's head-turning look at Cannes epitomizes the look—and proves that it's just as popular off social media.
Sparkle is always in, but it’s taking on new forms like this pink smoky eye seen on Gigi Hadid. Think of it as the latest version of the Euphoria eye.
Foundation and serum are becoming one in the same. The newest formulas let skin shine through, and provide skincare benefits like hydration and anti-aging ingredients.
For a while there, visible lip liner was a no-no. Not anymore. Celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Megan Thee Stallion, and Addison Rae are embracing the ‘90s-inspired trend, and adding volume to their lips along the way.
A steady hand (or a trusty stencil) may come in handy for this update on winged eyeliner, seen here on Dixie D’amelio.
We're all here for a natural flush, but there's an argument that cheekbones have played second fiddle for too long. The trend is taking over TikTok too, with users trying out purple blush, not unlike this dramatic look on Jodie Turner-Smith.
As the sustainability conversation continues in beauty, expect to see more makeup sold alongside refills. Best of all, these products aren’t just being offered by traditionally “clean” brands—for instance, Hermès Beauty’s entire lip color collection is refillable.
