The fun thing about beauty is that there is really nothing new under the sun. Trends come and go and then get rebirthed in modern ways. Some trends get combined with looks from previous decades, but in the end, the old has become new. Look for ways to add these trends to your morning routine. As the new year unfolds, you'll start to see these looks making waves not only in the fashion industry, but also in your neighborhood, workplace, and amongst your family and friends. Here are the hottest beauty trends for 2022.

Clean Beauty Products

The makeup and skincare industry has come a long way. But it still has a long way to go. In European countries, 1300 harmful chemicals are banned from beauty products. But in America, all those chemicals are sprinkled in your makeup, skincare, and hair care goods. These chemicals can build up in your body and eventually cause things like hormone disruption and lung problems. Clean beauty products are those that choose not to use many of the 1300 chemicals. They seek to develop effective skincare and makeup like a retinol serum, eyeshadow, or lipstick that doesn't contain lead. These products are growing in popularity as more women realize the harmful ingredients that are in their everyday products.

Glitter and Sparkles

Bedazzle your face in 2022 with glitter and sparkly makeup. Whether you want a dusting of sparkles across your shoulders or to turn your eyelids into glamorous focal points, glitter is making a comeback in all its glory. You'll notice more glitter makeup on the shelves at the stores along with glittery clothes and accessories.

Lip Liner

Do you remember the lip liner days? The days where heavily defined lips were the only way to wear your lipstick? Well, it's coming back and that means that 2022 lips will look a lot like 1990's lips. There are some distinctions, so as you look for ways to incorporate this hot trend into your makeup regimen, watch for TikTok videos and other tutorials to show you how it's done. You'll want liners that don't just blend in with your lipstick, but that also stand out.

Hidden Highlights

Do you remember highlights from the 1990's? They were chunky, vivid, and only on the top of the head. The highlights of 2022 will be bold in a completely different way. Think about the horse of many colors from The Wizard of Oz. That's what you can imagine with highlights this coming year. Highlights will be hidden in the hair. Depending on how you style your hair will determine which colors you see. Want curls? It'll show off all the different colors. Want to wear a high ponytail? You'll see the bottom color best. Highlights will play peek-a-boo and have a wow factor when they do make their appearance.

Mullets are Back

It finally happened in the beauty scene. Mullets are making a comeback, but not exactly like the ones we saw in the 1980's. You'll find modern mullets on men and women. Shorter mullets, more crisp looking mullets, and pretty mullets without the fluffy bangs will make their way into salons. People looking for a new look will turn to this oldie for inspiration.

Heavily Lined Eyelids

It seems that liners in general are making their way back. Heavily lined eyelids, double cat eyes, and bright colors are trending for 2022. You'll find more artistry when it comes to lining the eyelids. And with glitter and bright colors being on trend, it'll be dazzling. The goal here is not to create a natural look, but to create a wow factor and add interest to your already beautiful face.

Customized Skincare Options

Not only are clean skincare products on trend, but boutique skincare places are creating customized lotions and creams based on your DNA. You'll get a truly customized experience when you get products that work with your body down to the cellular level. This level of science has never been seen before and it's trending this year.

New Nail Designs

Instead of long nails that feature a color or two, nail artists are using your fingertips as their palette. They are creating beautiful scenes and landscapes that could easily be painted on a canvas. These pretty pictures are changing the way that nails are done and adding interest to your long fingernails.
