10 Beauty Trends to Watch in 2022

2021 was such a pretty year in beauty! 

We saw the trend of the 2000s, lipstick once again took its place, and there was a nostalgic meaning behind almost every look. It leads us down the memory path of creative expression that is sorely needed in the post-2020s.

Now, as we head into 2022 (also, how?!?!), we're here to give you our trend predictions on the makeup trends that will take over the industry!

Trend #1 - Easy Beauty 

Long ago were the days when we wore makeup for more than 20 minutes in the morning. Everyone agrees we need products that get us out the door faster.

Multipurpose? Even better! People want ways to simplify their beauty routine as much as possible.

Trend #2 - Colored Eyeliner

We're starting to see more colors in 2021, but in the new year, it's going all out!

Black eyeliner is last year! Get ready for every color of the rainbow to replace your go-to staple.

Trend #3 - Stickers, Face Gems, & Temporary Tattoos - Oh My! 

Accessories 2.0...a step forward in self-expression and creativity. And since it's more eye-catching than a pair of earrings, you're sure to make a statement.

Trend #4 - Optimistic Beauty 

Lots of gloss, colors, and decorations! Hearing this, our mood has been lifted, how about you?

Anything that adds sparkle, we're all here.

Trend #5 - Sustainability/Clean Beauty 

More than ever, brands want to make a difference in the world, and so do customers.

In 2022, brands will make a conscious effort to represent the environment in unprecedented ways. This means recyclable initiatives and less carbon emissions throughout the production process.

Trend #6 - Bold, Bright, and Graphic

According to psychologists, the pandemic is affecting us more than we realize... One way many of us are coping with the effects is by being fun and expressive without boundaries!

No more grooming rules or norms to follow, it's safe to say that anything can happen.

Trend #7 - Effortless Cool 

More than just looks, it's a way of life! It's an attitude shift, moving at your own pace and not caring what others think.

Sparkling Tuesday? you bet! Rock styles and trends that make you happy and you'll always be cool.

Trend #8 - Loud Colors 

Bring the glitz of NYE into the new year and beyond! Ever notice how happy people are in the week between Christmas and New Year?

Why can't we carry it with us all the time? Look forward to seeing New Year's Eve styles all year round.

Trend #9 - The Natural Look

Yes, we're going to see a lot of exciting makeup trends in the new year, but we're going to see just as many natural looks as well.

You have two choices, go all out, or minimal, with no middle ground. It's beautiful to find your confidence on both spectrums of the makeup scale.

Trend #10 - Bridal Looks  

Many weddings have been postponed due to the pandemic, and of course, new engagements have occurred. It's a big year of love and we celebrate it all year round!

With engagement parties, wedding shopping, bridal showers, and everything in between, there will be plenty of opportunities to practice your BIG DAY wedding makeup on your journey to "I Do".

Get ready for romantic, soft glamour and elegantly inspired looks. 2022 will be the year of beauty expression, creativity, and happiness!

Wishing our APPEARANZ family the best year ever.
