11 Summer 2022 Makeup Trends You Don’t Want To Miss

Whether you’re staying at home and attending virtual parties or vaccinated and going out IRL again, it’s that time of the year to take out your sundresses and best makeup looks. We’ve seen several looks going viral on Instagram feeds, and can’t wait to try them out ourselves. Make the most of your hot girl summer with these foolproof makeup trends that are taking over 2022.

1. Smoky eyes

This smoldering, bold look is fabulous for virtual or in-person get-togethers — through every season. A smoky eye can either be elegant, rock ‘n’ roll, or minimalist, with an otherwise naked face. For a rocker look, makeup artists suggest subbing black liner for taupe, bronze, or mauve. Grey also works well with smoky looks.

2. Brushed up brows

Channel your inner Brooke Shields — big eyebrows are here and they’re here to stay. Whether makeup isn’t your thing or you just want to pair it with a dramatic brow look, use a thoroughly clean mascara wand or brow gel to open up eyes and turn you into a fierce high fashion model.

3. Glowing looks

If the local beach is too crowded or you’re concerned about skin cancer, get that luminous look from an illuminating powder instead. Bronzer is out, but this powder with a translucent, creamy look can brighten up cheeks. Illuminating sticks or pens are also a good option — think of them as the new highlighter!

4. Glossy lips

For the moment, matte is out and gloss is in. This look takes us back to our teen years, when we all had lip gloss in a minimum of 10 different colors. Consider a purple-tinted gloss or a pastel one, but even a clear gloss can make an all natural look pop like never before.
