Fashion is always in motion, and that applies to far more than just clothing and accessories. The makeup world operates under its own set of ever-changing rules. This article will keep you on top of the trends for 2019.
Keep Your Look Fresh: Makeup Application Tips for 2019
If you're among the 99% of women worldwide who do their own makeup rather than hiring a daily artist, these insights will prove extremely useful!
Overarching Trends
This year's makeup aesthetic draws heavily from the 1990s. The "no-makeup makeup" look has faded since 2018, replaced by vivid eyeshadows, bold eyeliner, and intense lip colors. Sound familiar? It's the perfect excuse to dig out those "extreme" products you thought you'd never use.

Eyes
Bold eyeliner is back in style! The focus isn't on thin, everyday lines from a fine brush, but on dramatic stripes drawn with a pencil. Colored versions—blue, navy, or turquoise—are especially popular. Interestingly, top makeup artists suggest highlighting the lower lash line with eyeshadow or a bright pencil. They also recommend drawing attention to the inner corners of the eyes (remember the "biker eye" of the '90s? That's the look).
As for eyeshadow, Smokey Eyes remains trendy, but with a slightly smudged finish. If you've never mastered a perfect smoky eye, that's actually great news—this imperfect style is exactly what's in fashion this year!

Lips
Soft nude shades are still considered tasteful, so don't toss out your collection of skin-toned lipsticks and glosses. However, bold lip makeup is also gaining popularity, with classic red leading the way. New recommendations from stylists include lipsticks and glosses with a metallic finish. These cosmetics can feature silver, gray, or even blue tones! The key motto for this year's makeup is to make a statement.

Face
Not much has changed here. Foundation and blush should remain nearly invisible. Stylists suggest adding a touch of color under the eyes to create a fresher look. Just be careful not to overdo it!
Eyebrows
The trend that emerged late in 2018 is still going strong: fluffy eyebrows. Achieving this effect is simple—brush the hairs upward with a spoolie and set them with eyebrow gel or mascara. This look may still seem unusual to some, but those in the fashion and trend worlds will give your makeup a thumbs-up.
We hope this guide proves useful throughout the year. We'll keep you updated on further developments in the fashion world. Of course, looking perfect takes more than just great makeup! :)
