TREND REPORT 2018: Makeup Goodness

We welcome 2018 as the year of ultraviolet.

One very prominent trend is the finally biding goodbye to crack dried lips from overly used liquid matte lipsticks or popularly initiation as the Kylie Jenner contribution.

We are talking about gloss and colors now. It’s all about radiating the kickass makeup goddess in us with all new use of gloss as major.
Makeup lines like Fenty Beauty by Rihanna launched in September 2017 with more than 40 shades in their collection including hotspots such as: Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer to the Cosmic Glass Lip Glitters, Killer Highlighters, Body Lava,etc

Brands like Glossier’s Clear Glitter Lip Balm And Glosses have been spotted in making the very Instagram favorite Kirakira Lips in real life.

We taking this year with shimmer free cheekbones and skin as opting for glossy AKA ultra hydrating and neutral highlighters with the famous Korean glass skin effect or in simple words the dewy skin finish.

While no eyeliner is an Insta-thing this year we also will be noticing hopefully coming of color shades in eyeliner as spotted in Spring Summer 2018 Catwalk.

Eyelashes of this year will remain subtle as we concentrate more on length than volume, an end for thick spider eyelashes and clumpy coats of mascara.

Romantic shades such as peachy glowy look to dusty rose smoked up eye shades are more on trend. Its more on warmer tones from some hit brands such as Morphe, Colourpop, Urban Decay, Huda Beauty, Makeup Geek, Becca Cosmetics, Glossier, Juvia’s Place, etc

We have a free flow of highlighter going in 2018 with a love for tan mixed up with more neutral undertone such as peaches and pinks. Other hits include peanut butter eyes to gloss over eyelids. That’s not it, we saying hi to cherry shine lip with a finish of high shine effect. And finally we are over the matte liquid lipstick like that toxic ex who keeps draining us.

This year might witness lipsticks from satin to velvet finish. We have seen more launches till the mid of the year from brands like Colourpop,KKW, KJ lip kits,etc. With already a score on lip strobes from Huda Kattan’s Huda Beauty cosmetics in 2017 does play well in 2018. We also see other high end brands like Marc Jacob, Tarte cosmetics, etc in the game of shine like a queen.

All in all, MUAs around the world and all makeup geek can now create a plumped and juicy lip without damaging the lip hydration. It is one good trick to bring back life to any dull color. While we know that the love for the nude makeup is going to last for more while, a gloss lip along with minimal nude makeup is fit for every situation. Or you can go ahead and the game on another level by using gloss as your eyeshadow if you’re adventurous.

MY TAKE ON GLOSS TREND:  

 I created this strong base with medium coverage with a bright pop of orange and yellow transition shade along with shimmering mauve pink base. Inspired from summer sunset I wanted to have the highlighting pink hue hence opted for bold satin lipstick highlighting fuchsia pink with plum undertone, packed with a high gloss to create the plumped up effect.
