Naturalness: No Makeup
After a fabulous start, let’s chat about the makeup trends of 2023 that have been around for years and seem like they’re here to stay. It looks like we’ll be seeing more of them in the future!
Make-up is having a make-under! Naturalness and lightness are trending in the beauty industry as more people are embracing the no-makeup makeup look. This look emphasizes healthy-looking skin, natural-looking eyebrows, and natural-looking lips. It’s an effortless and timeless way to enhance your beauty without looking like you’ve tried too hard.
Looking like you’re not wearing any makeup is actually quite complicated! It takes a lot of skill and time to create that perfect no makeup look. Plus, let’s face it – quality products are essential too! The classic no makeup includes the following items:
- moisturizer, make-up base;
- a light, translucent bb cream, concealer;
- radiant powder, blush, a dash of highlighter;
- eyebrow gel and a thin pencil to fill in missing hairs if necessary;
- light shimmery eye shadow;
- brown or grey pencil to trace the lash line;
- mascara;
- lip gloss or a tinted balm.
This make-up is the perfect solution if you want to look professional and fancy at the same time. Girls with light complexion can also take advantage of it and rock their school or work look!
Glossy Lips
Move over matte, gloss is taking over and it’s all thanks to Kylie Jenner. She single-handedly ignited the trend of glossy lips with her legendary lip line, and now it’s become a major trend in beauty. From glittery glosses to shimmery highlighters, Kylie has us all shining bright like a diamond.
For the truly daring, try out a “lip glass” for that perfect glossy pout. For those who prefer subtlety, we have classic glosses in various shades of natural – so you can shine without appearing too ‘done up’.

Ah winter, the season for sweaters, hot chocolate and… pink blushes? Yes indeed! It’s time to switch up your blush routine and get your cheeks looking frosty this season. Pink is the perfect choice for winter as it adds a touch of warmth and color to your face without looking too over-the-top.

Glitter
Just step into 2023 and you’ll see it – the mission of this year is to bring more fun, originality, and creative self-expression to your makeup. Girls are wearing glitter like never before – from everyday looks to special occasions. Let your face sparkle!
Glitter is like the make-up equivalent of a diamond necklace – when used correctly, it can make you look absolutely stunning! The most popular places to glam up with glitter are your eyelids and cheekbones, but you can really decorate those parts of your face however you want!
If you’re ready to add a touch of sparkle to your look, then glitter makeup is the way to go! But before you start slathering on the sparkles, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Applying and wearing glitter makeup safely requires following a few simple rules:
- From moisturizing your skin first to removing loose particles with micellar water, these guidelines will make sure that your glitz and glam is both beautiful and safe!
- Be sure to choose high quality, glitter-free products. You can be exposing your skin to small particles of metal or other unsafe substances if you’re not careful and don’t use the right products.
- Exfoliate before applying glitter, so that your skin is cleaner than ever beforehand. This will remove any residue from the product and keep you safe!
- Apply a small amount of translucent powder over any areas where glitter might rub off onto clothes or hair. This will ensure that unwanted particles don’t come loose and land on anything else!
- Apply your glitter-based makeup in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Direct heat and UV rays can cause the glitter to melt.
- Be sure to remove all makeup before you shower or bath, so that any loose particles do not end up in the water and harm your skin!
Natural Eyebrows
Natural makeup is having a moment, and that includes eyebrows! Gone are the days of the bold, thick brows of 2015 – today’s trends favor a more subtle, natural look. Natural eyebrows are the perfect way to complete your makeup look and add a touch of sophistication. Whether you prefer thin and manicured or full and bushy, there’s something for everyone!

So grab that eyebrow gel and get ready for your close-up!
