Makeup trends in the modern world are a rather arbitrary category. Nowadays, it is impossible to create makeup that would attract everyone's love. Each type of makeup has its fans, and every makeup, even the most extraordinary, finds its fans.

But for those who are used to keeping their finger on the pulse, I will tell you which textures, shades, techniques and products will be especially popular among makeup artists, celebrities and beauty gurus in 2021.

How has the current situation in the world affected makeup trends?

Makeup in the modern world has taken a bit of a back seat due to current circumstances. 2020 left a serious mark on the beauty industry and forever made adjustments to modern makeup.

I observe that the styles of some makeup artists are thrown from side to side. This can be explained by the fact that a lack of creativity has covered absolutely all masters. And I want creativity!

What shades will be on top in 2021?

Lilac (purple) makeup can be called a new trend for 2021, which is worth taking note. Moreover, it suits everyone: purple tones suit blondes and brunettes, and perfectly highlight brown, green, and gray eyes.

Neon makeup is like a challenge to society. With its accents you can display a light arrow or highlight the inner corner of the eye. This kind of makeup will be especially relevant in the spring-summer 2021 season.

What fashionable makeup options for 2021 can be called the most versatile?

“No makeup makeup” for eyes and bright lips – a trend loved by makeup artists will experience a new birth in 2021. Scarlet is being replaced by juicy pink, which you can play with from delicate pastel to deep fuchsia! In general, violet will become a bright accent in makeup here too.

The classics will also not let you get bored, and everyone’s favorite makeup options with arrows will occupy a high position in the trends of 2021. Please note that the arrows will become a little brighter and more colorful. For example, an arrow on the orbital crease of the eyelid will no longer look creative, but will be quite suitable for classic makeup.

What can you say about unusual and maybe even a little strange makeup in 2021?

Makeup in the style of the heroes of the youth series "Euphoria" , which conquered the world in the second half of 2019, will remain among the favorites in 2021. Recent shows confirm this. And keep in mind: glitter on the face can be sprinkled anywhere, for example, under the lower eyelid, as in the Fendi and Marc Jacobs shows. By the way, this is a great way to hide dark circles under the eyes. (Smiles.)

Another bold trend is different eye makeup. The trend is clearly not for everyday use, but such a makeup solution will be more relevant than ever in 2021. If you couldn't decide on eye makeup, feel free to experiment and don't be afraid to combine different colors. For example, makeup can be enhanced with bright eyelashes of different shades on both eyes.
