Bold Makeup Trends: Expert Predictions for the Season

The pendulum has swung away from heavy full-coverage bases. Clients are asking for skin that looks like skin, then one deliberate point of colour.

Skin first, product second

Sheer tints, cream blush pressed with fingers, and a targeted concealer only where it is needed. Powder is used to set two small zones, not the whole face.

One loud choice

• A graphic liner in cobalt or oxblood instead of black.
• Glossy lids with nothing else on the eye.
• Over-drawn matte lip with bare cheeks.
• Brushed-up brows, no gel shine.

How to get it right at home

Colour looks intentional when placement is precise. Book a lesson slot with a pro and have them map the shapes on your own face — it transfers far better than a tutorial.
