1. Colourful Eyeshadow
To most people, a bold colorful eyeshadow is a big no-no, well not this year. The 1980s are back and they’re here to stay, but don’t worry you won’t be needing to bust out any leg warmers.

Transform your spacey look with a new kind of highlight that will take your look from basic to breathtaking with a stroke of a hand. Be your own kind of solar system, the sun ain’t got nothing on this glow.
3. Faux Freckles
Some of us have been blessed with skin that allows us to get freckles naturally, however, some of us just burn. Fear not as your days of longingly wishing for freckles are over as fake freckles are the latest trend. Yep, you read that correctly, gone are the days of sitting in the sun praying for some cute freckles to appear for you just to be left with a red face and a ton of regret.
4. Colourful Brows
Who said that color was just for your eyeshadow?! Stand out with this unique and look; colorful brows are new in town and they’re not going any time soon. Ditch your old makeup routine this year and watch jaws drop with your new colorful brows. Take color coordination to the next level with this one, you won’t regret it.
5. The “No Makeup” Makeup Look
Just because you have makeup on it doesn’t mean it has to look like it, right? In 2019 we’re celebrating our natural features too and enhancing them for that “I woke up like this” look, even if it did take an hour we won’t tell anyone. Choose natural looking lashes and pair them with nude eyeshadows for that subtle slay. This one is perfect for you if you know you don’t like the bold look but still want to wear makeup.
6. Glitter Winged Eyeliner
Winged eyeliner is a signature look for most of us, it has been for generations and it will be for years to come but let’s make this year the one we mix it up a bit. A sparkly liner is now trending and we hope it’s here to stay, revamp the usual black liner with this gem, thank us later!
7. Vampy Glam
Gutted that Halloween only comes once a year? Well with this vampy glam trending you don’t need to wait 365 days to unleash your inner goth. The grungy vibe is making its comeback and we’re living for it. Don’t feel intimidated by the dark eyeshadow all over your lid as it’s actually very flattering for all skin tones, especially paired with a cranberry lip to top it all off.
8. Bold Red Lip
A red lip will always be a classic, no matter the year. It suits any occasion, formal or casual, wherever you want to wear it. However this year it’s back on the trend but with a twist, why not try a bold red lip and just do subtle makeup on the rest of your face. This way the attention is exactly where you want it and making the bold statement you came to make.
9. Sunset eyeshadow look
Who would’ve thought that orange, yellow and red eyeshadow would be trending? Well they are and we are definitely here for it. Especially for all you blue or green eyed people out there, this look is one you need to try this year, orange and gold tones are the one for making blue and green eyes pop! Never wait for sunset again.
10. Rainbow Cut Crease
2020 – the year the cut crease evolves for the better. Everyone loves a bold cut crease but this year we’re taking it one step further, the rainbow cut crease has everything we’re loving this year and more. What more could you possibly want? This is a bold look for when you want all eyes on you and one you need to try this year.
11. Golden Glow
A sun-kissed glow is always on trend and it’s definitely not going anywhere in 2020. Who says you need to go on holiday for that golden glow, keep your skin glowing whilst saving yourself a lot of money. Pair a dewy foundation with a gold liquid or powder highlight and apply to the top of the cheekbone, brow bone, tip of the nose and anywhere else you want to enhance with a golden glow. Who needs a golden hour when you can have it all day long?!
12. Metallic Lips
Metallic lip looks are back on trend this year as an alternative to your casual nude lip. This lip look complements all skin tones and really makes you stand out from the crowd, especially if you’re going on a night out. Whether it’s a metallic lipstick or lip gloss, you will be turning heads.
13. Glossy Eyes
Wearing lip gloss on your lips is so last year, glossy lids are this year’s newest and dewiest makeup trend which uses lip gloss in a whole new way. Simply just apply eyeshadow to your eyes as normal and apply lip balm or gloss on top and you’re ready to go. You can even stick to a clear glossy look too. This trend gives a touch of glam to your look without going too extra, what’s not to love?
14. Glitter
Glitter looks are a classic for when you want to shine; there’s something about glitter that screams glam and it’s trending in 2020. Be it glitter eyeshadow, lips, highlight, you name it we love it and you will too. While doing a smokey eye pack glitter on to the lids as a sure way to get people talking, or maybe on your lip, no one will be able to look away. Breathe in the nostalgia of your childhood years playing with glitter and embrace it as your inner beauty guru uses it in a way you could’ve never imagined when you were young.
