As the beauty world continues to expand and evolve, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest trends. Every year, a new wave of hairstyles, makeup looks, and skincare products hit the shelves, and it’s up to us to decide what’s ‘in’ and what’s ‘out’. But don’t fret – 2023 beauty trends are here to lend a helping hand. From the makeup must-haves to the skincare staples, get ready to learn what’s hot and what’s not as we cover the beauty trends of 2023.
1. All That Glitters: An Overview of the 2023 Beauty Scene
The beauty scene in 2023 has come a long way from 2020s trends in makeup and hair styles. 2023 is all about embracing the inner sparkle within each of us in a way that is both purposeful and beautiful. From everyday basic neutrals to glitzy and glamorous rainbow hues, there is something for everyone.
Glitter Makeup: Glitter is no longer something that is just reserved for special occasions. Now, it can be a subtle, yet transformative way to add shimmer and sparkle to the everyday look. A few shimmery shades on the eyes can give a subtle sheen, or if a more dramatic look is what you’re looking for, applying the glitters liberally can create an eye-catching look. For those that want to take their glitter fixation to the next level, multicolor glitters can be blended together in interesting ways to create unique and vibrant eye looks. Glitters are not only for the eyes; they can also be used on the lips, cheeks, and even as highlighters.
Bold Color Stylization: While glitter makeup continues to be a popular trend, we’re also seeing a rise in bold color stylization. Technicolor eyeshadows, vibrant eyeliners, and siren-like lips are everywhere. The key to the perfect look is to create balance while also being adventurous with your colors. For those who are afraid to go too bold, try incorporating a few pastels into the look – they won’t overwhelm the face but will still add an element of colorful fun.
Natural Hair Craze: The natural hair craze is back and it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Brunettes, blondes, and redheads will all be inspired to embrace their natural hue as well as its unique texture. Hair that falls in loose and wild waves is a great way to make a statement and stand out from a crowd. Whether you have curly, coarse, silky, course, or wavy locks, 2023 is about embracing the beauty of natural hair and using styling products to enhance and showcase it.
Organic Beauty Products: As more and more people are taking a more mindful approach to beauty, organic products will become the go-to for those that are searching for an all-natural option. Organic beauty products are made with fewer chemicals, meaning that they are better for your skin, your body, and the environment. From lip balms to shampoo bars, there are organic options for everyone, regardless of what their hair and skin needs are.
2. Enhancing Your Natural Beauty With 2023’s Hot Makeup Trends
2023 is sure to bring even more stunning makeup trends to experiment with in pursuit of beauty enhancement. Here’s a look at the hot makeup that you must try this year!
Bold Oranges: Try a vivid twist on the classic red lip with daring oranges and peaches. Orange lips offer a look that is both daring and alluring – perfect for the woman who loves standing out from the crowd.
Matte Sparkle: Forget glossy eyeshadows; this year’s eye makeup trends will be defined by matte metallics. From the ever popular bronze, silver and gold to even rose gold, jazz up your eyes with these trending options.
Smudged Eyeliner: If there was ever a trend that focused on achieving a “lived in” look, this is it! Smudge your eyeliner for a gentle-yet-intriguing look that says “effortless personality.”
Natural Appreciation: Natural beauty is the trend this year. You should be focusing on what you don’t want to hide – express your individual beauty, not try to mask it.
- Focus on fresh, hydrated skin
- Boost your confidence with natural products
- Let your features stand out with a natural lip color and subtle blush
Liner Time: An effective way to create an eye-catching look is to indulge in the trend of perfectly and precisely lining your eyes. With a thin line of black to the wider modern “cat eye”. The options are limitless. Not to mention this is a foolproof way to lift and refine the eyes.
3. Getting Ahead of the Curve: Radiant Skincare Routines For 2023
As technology advances, so too must the skincare routines of the modern individual. 2023 looks to be an exciting year in the world of cosmetics and treatment, and making sure your skin is in top shape can’t be postponed – start investing in products which will help you stay ahead of the curve.
Smart Technology + Natural Ingredients. It’s time to get your hands on the latest hybrid skin products, combining the power of cutting-edge technology with the nourishing benefits of natural ingredients. Smart gadgets and advanced skincare formulas are now better at detecting individual needs and delivering the boost of help you need. Be sure to look out for light-therapy serums, laser emulsions, and more.
Resilience-Boosting Facials. This year, you won’t have to worry just about skin texture – you can target anti-ageing benefits and pick a facial to match. Microdermabrasion and laser treatments can be customized further to target and rebalance damaged skin. Offered as a one-time session, a course of treatments, or a monthly upkeep program, you’ll be benefiting from additional skin solutions that weren’t available in the past.
Powerful Masks. Influenced by the Korean beauty trend, tailored face masks – in the form of gel strips, sheet masks, liquids and more – now offer a week’s worth of active ingredients in a single sitting. Look out for the newest masks, crafted to care for the skin against the increasing daily stress, and infused with antioxidants and vitamins.
Daily Home Care.
- Invest in the bestselling freshening mist and spritz it onto your face throughout the day, maximizing the firming and strengthening of the skin.
- Make sure you get your daily dose of facial oils, applied both morning and night in order to hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin from the inside out.
- Finally, don’t neglect the eye area – give a powerful boost to your skincare regimen with newly released eye creams and gels specifically targeted for the delicate skin there.
4. Out with the Old: 2020’s Outdated Beauty Trends
2020 may have come and gone, but unfortunately, some of the beauty trends did not go with it—chief among them, the infamous overdrawn lip liner, heavy blush, and harshly cut bangs. It’s time to get tough and say “Out with the Old!”
Halo Brows – Say Goodbye! The tragic trend of what’s known as “halo brows” — arched eyebrows that are heavily filled in to look like a halo — is finally on its way out. 2020 taught us that brows should be natural and effortless. Get rid of the powder and pencils and enjoy your more subtle look.
Good Riddance to the Contoured Cheekbones We all said goodbye to the heavy contouring of 2020. Instead, lighten up your face and tap into the natural glow with a touch of blush. This is an easy go-to look that won’t break the bank and is much more approachable than the contoured cheekbones of old.
Farewell to the Overwhelmingly Dull Hair This is something we all know all too well — dull hair! 2020 brought us a wave of soft, natural looks that don’t require a lot of styling or product. Work with your natural texture and colour rather than against it.
Bid Adieu to Overdrawn Lip Liner Luckily for our lips, often quite overdrawn lip liner is beginning to be a thing of the past. Say thanks to this beauty trend and embrace the modern, cooler look of emphasizing your unique lip shape — no extra edges allowed!
- Say goodbye to halo brows
- Au revoir to contoured cheekbones
- Farewell to overly dull hair
- Bid adieu to overdrawn lip liners
2020 brought us a simpler and softer beauty routine, so start 2021 off right by saying goodbye to these outdated beauty trends. Let in the new and say “Out with the Old!”
As we move forward into a new year, one thing is certain – beauty trends are constantly evolving. 2023 promises to build on the trends of the past and bring forth new and exciting ideas. As always, trends mean something different for each individual and the key is to be confident that your beauty choices are the right ones for you. So, why not be part of the future of beauty and see what the new year holds!
