Whether it’s on the red carpet or New York Fashion Week, beauty trends never disappoint… and this year is no exception. From bold brows to dark lips, 2016’s beauty trends will have you looking sleek and sassy all the way into 2017!
Statement brows
With the passing of 2015 also came the passing of perfectly shaped and sculpted brows. This year, the bushy and brushed brows made an appearance that has beauty lovers looking more fresh faced and natural. Simply fill in brows with eyebrow powder, blend, comb upwards and you have yourself the perfect pair of bombshell brows.
Matte lips
There’s no competition, matte lips are one of 2016’s hottest beauty trends. Seen in fashion shows such as Zac Posen and on celebrities like Kylie Jenner, matte lips are sure to keep you feeling confident and fierce.
Highlighter
Goodbye contouring and hello highlighter! Highlighter seems to be one of the best beauty tricks to keep you looking awake and dewy faced. Try applying to the cheekbones, bridge of your nose and cupid’s bow to give your face a little glow.
Cobalt blue and jewel-toned eyes
There’s no better way to make a statement than with eyes that pop! At shows like Diane von Furstenberg’s, jewel toned (especially blue-toned ones) eyeshadow and liner were really what stole the show!
The slicked back pony
Nothing says sassy and sophisticated quite like a sleek pony. One of Hollywood’s less complicated hairstyles, the sleek pony is a great way to emphasize your makeup and outfit. Try hair spraying the root of your hair before brushing back into a pony to create the foundation for your killer look.
Fancy French tips
Although nail art is becoming more and more detailed by the year, in 2016 it seemed to take a classic twist on the French tip. This trend is perfect for beauty lovers who go for more traditional looks but like a little bit of flare.
Cranberry shadows
It seems this season red is the new black! Seen on stars such as Kristen Stewart, Selena Gomez and Olivia Wilde, deep red and burgundy tones have left quite an impression. Want to try out this beauty trend yourself? Opt for cinnamon hues for darker skin tones, orange based reds or burgundies for medium skin tones and rose and blue-based reds for pale skin tones.
Metallic makeup
If you’re looking to make a statement this season, you’ve met your match! Pairing shimmery metallic eyeshadows with a smoky eye and bold lashes is the perfect way to start off the New Year. Be sure to keep the rest of your face pretty neutral to make sure all the focus is on your eyes.
Dewy skin
Maybe one day we’ll settle for matte skin, but for now we’re all about radiant, youthful and dewy skin. Seen on and off the runway, dewy skin keeps you looking fresh and healthy all throughout the day. Try dabbing coconut oil on your cheekbones, brow bone and across the bridge of your nose for a hydrated look that’s not overly oily.
Golds
2016 sure was the golden year, and in more ways than one. Fashion designers, such as Ellie Saab, opted to pair their runway looks with gold tones to bring them to life! Gold eyes and feathery lashes will sure have you feeling like the golden goddess you are!
