Keeping up with makeup trends is straightforward if you watch what celebrities are experimenting with in 2018, whether for fashion editorials, red carpets, or social media posts. Changes can range from dramatic haircuts to full transformations.
Drawing inspiration from Autumn/Winter runway shows around the globe, here are the beauty looks expected to dominate 2018 and remain popular for much of the year.
Let's explore which makeup trends will take over the New Year 2018!
Lipstick Bullets Return
Liquid lipsticks ruled 2017, but now bullet lipsticks are making a comeback. While matte formulas won't disappear, satin finishes are poised to gain more traction this year.
Lip tints are also set to perform well in 2018.
Timeless Black Eyeliner
Colored eye makeup has been overdone, in my opinion. The classic jet-black eyeliner is returning in a big way, and you'll see more celebrities sporting this essential look.
Glitter Stays Strong
Glitter isn't fading away—it will continue to captivate us this year. Crystals, rhinestones, and sparkles are becoming major focal points in innovative makeup styles.
Bolder Lashes
Lash trends are set to intensify again in 2018. Whether through extensions, false lashes, or ultra-voluminous options, many people will experiment with dramatic lashes.
Daring Hairstyles
If you sported a bob or lob in 2017, it's time to switch things up. Go for longer, thicker hair or try extreme cuts like a pixie or blunt style—that's what trend forecasts suggest.
Graphic Nails
Graphic nail designs will surpass embellished gel manicures in popularity. We can't wait to see which nail art trends top the charts this year.
Gold Endures
Gold makeup will linger a bit longer, so expect plenty of new techniques and tips for mastering this ever-stylish look. From eyes to a golden sheen on lips, this trend will shine in 2018.
Glossy Lids
Glossy eyelids will continue to dominate runways this year, as no one seems ready to abandon the ultra-fresh glossy look that emerged in 2017.
Metallic Appeal
The metallic charm will persist in 2018. Stay tuned for exciting new product launches featuring metallic lipsticks or eyeliners to keep this trend alive everywhere.
Pink Eyeshadow
Pink eye makeup remains a favorite among celebrities, and it will appear with minor adjustments here and there.
I hope you enjoyed these 2018 makeup trends. We'll continue to share the best looks as the year unfolds!
