NewsWinter brings with it the festive season. After missing out on most of our seasonal social gatherings and parties last year thanks to the pandemic, we’re ready to make up for lost time this winter. Best of all, the winter makeup trends are here to help us on our way. It’s all about reimagined classics and bringing back some of our ride or die favourite makeup trends from recent seasons.
With mask wearing slowly starting to become a thing of the past and the world reopening again, it’s the perfect time to rediscover your makeup bag. Dust it off and dig out your signature red lipstick or the black eyeliner that you couldn’t live without pre-pandemic. Winter makeup trends for 2021 are all about rediscovering our love for makeup and timeless beauty trends – including soft glam makeup.
Are you ready to shakeup your makeup routine? We’re sharing the winter makeup trends that everyone will be wearing on TikTok this season.
Do you remember the Bratz dolls that you had growing up? If you’re a ‘90s kid, you probably remember the distinctive shape of their lips. It was their signature look and now one of the biggest winter makeup trends. What we love about this makeup trend is how easy it is to recreate with products you’ll already have in your makeup bag.
It’s all about a statement lip look. Look out for deep red hues of merlot and crimson to give the trend a winter feel. The ‘bratty’ lip trend takes a classic autumnal shade and switches it up a high gloss finish to give your lips the illusion of a larger appearance. It’s like having filler with the help of your makeup bag. Invest in a clear gloss to use as a topcoat to experiment with this winter beauty trend.
It’s not unusual to see beauty trends that focus on a particular colour palette. This winter, we’re taking our inspiration right from the women of the moment – Taylor Swift and Adele – with mocha brown tones. Think camel, caramel, and mocha as the holy trinity of winter makeup colours to try this season. Instead of reaching for a black eyeliner, try one of these warmer shades instead to help brighten your complexion and give you an effortlessly chic look.
You can thank TikTok for bringing the ‘grunge girl’ aesthetic back into vogue. It’s a trend that was reborn on TikTok but that has found its way everywhere from glossy fashion magazines to catwalks. This moodier aesthetic works perfectly for winter. The focus point of this beauty trend is your kohl eyeliner. Ditch your bronzer for something lighter and embrace a more glamorous take on the ‘grunge girl’.
While we think winter is the perfect time to embrace your inner Bella Swan, it’s also a season for trying something unexpected. Give your makeup look a quirky and flirty feel by adding in bright accents. This makeup trend is one that we’re seeing on everyone from Emma Chamberlain to our favourite TikTok stars. The easiest way to incorporate brighter accents into a winter makeup look is to balance it out with a darker lip to keep it seasonal and on-trend.
Monochrome is back for another winter – and you can thank Glossier for debuting their latest monochrome eyeshadow palettes for turbocharging the trend for another season. The cult-favourite beauty brand has embraced the monochrome eyeshadow trend with three shades with different finishes – matte, metallic, and satin. You can even take your makeup look to the next level with a matching lip or by playing with textures in the same hue on your cheeks.
During the pandemic, we all fell back in love with eye makeup – including loaded lashes. This trend is another one that carries through from summer and fall, while showing no signs of slowing down. With the festive season about to arrive, it’s the perfect time to invest in new falsies or treat yourself to a lash lift. Look out for the darkest, thickest, and fullest lashes that you can get your hands on.
Smoky eye makeup is a trend that will never go out of style. This go-to makeup look has been given an update for winter 2021 by adopting a softer aesthetic. Focus on blending the colours together to give you a more subtle, ombre-inspired smoky look.
