As we shed the cool temperatures and reinvent our wardrobes for the spring and summer 2022 season, it's also an excellent time to shake up our beauty routines. With warmer days, blossoming flowers, and clear, sunny skies, this season brings a refreshing opportunity to experiment, get creative, and let our beauty shine in all its glory. Our favourite beauty brands have already started to launch their spring/summer collections, setting the tone for the most popular makeup trends this year. From bold eyes to natural vein, let's dive into the beauty trends lighting up the Spring-Summer 2022 season.
Bold and Bright Eyes
One of the trends making a statement this year is bold, bright eyes, a playful departure from the traditional spring pastels. Expect to see pops of vivid eye colours in hot pink, electric blue, and even neon green in shadow palettes.
To pull off this look, start by picking your favourite neon hue and buff it into your eyelids. Then, using a lighter hand, blend the same colour under the lower lash line. If bold is your style, pair your loud lids with another bright hue on your lips.
Remember that fashion is all about balance. If your eyes are screaming colour, keep the rest of the makeup minimal. All in all, the bold and bright eye trend for Spring-Summer 2022 means now is the time to bring out those vibrant palette shades you've been storing away.
Popsicle Stained Lips
This Spring-Summer 2022 trend is as delightful as it sounds. Popsicle stained lips create a juicy, 'just-bitten' effect that's very much in style this season.
It’s super easy to achieve this look, all you need is your favourite lip tint. Apply the tint to the centre of your lips and then blend outwards using a brush or your fingers. The result gives a gradient effect that adds a touch of softness to your makeup look.
This trend works especially well with minimal makeup. Pair it with a sharp winged eyeliner or a hint of blush on your cheeks and you are ready to face the warm days ahead!
Highlighter All Over
This season is all about the glow. With the right highlighter, we can perfectly capture the warm, sunny vibes.
Highlighters aren’t just for the tops of your cheeks. Brush a bit on your temples, under the arch of your brow, and on your cupid's bow to create a full, radiant look. Another tip is to mix in a bit of highlighter with your foundation for an overall dewy sheen.
Pair the all-over highlight with a bronzed summer look, or alongside a bolder eye and lip for a fresh, glamourous aesthetic.
Retaining a fresh and trendy look throughout the spring and summer isn't just about swapping out our wardrobes. It also provides an exciting time to change up our beauty routines, allowing us to incorporate the year's most fashionable trends. As the season moves forward, let’s embrace the bold and bright colours, the fun with lip tints, and the magic of the highlighter in our makeup routine. Most importantly, let's be sure to infuse our uniqueness into each look, enhancing our style while also enjoying the vibrant vibe of summer.
