8 Makeup Trends to Try in 2021

Natural skin

This year, natural skin is in. Instead of using full-coverage foundation, opt for more sheer formulas that let skin texture, freckles, and even under-eye circles shine through.

Bright shadow

While neutral shadows are always in, bright, intense shades in pink, green, and blue are an of-the-moment way to bring a bit of optimism to your makeup looks. Make a statement during your next Zoom call with a swipe of shadow in your favorite neon.

Stained lips

There's nothing worse than the sticky feeling of gloss under a mask, and lip stains are a practical and chic workaround. In a pinch, simply blot lipstick, reapply, and blot again. Voilà.

Graphic liner

This 2021 makeup trend is all over Instagram. A favorite of professional makeup artists and Gen Z hobbyists alike, liquid liner in unique shapes and colors encourages you to connect with your inner artist and have fun with your look.

Colorful mascara

Remember novelty mascaras from the '90s? They're back in 2021. Wear the trend alone or paired with complimentary shadows.
 

Red-orange lips

Intense red lipstick with warm orange undertones is a must-have product for 2021. This shade will warm your skin and is especially beautiful on deeper skin tones.
