The 15 Biggest Makeup Trends of 2020
So, 2020 is definitely not going as planned, but there’s nothing to be hopeless about it. There will always be one thing that will boost up your mood. That one thing for Brush Up By Vanshika is ‘Makeup’. It’s the perfect time now, more than ever to experiment with new makeup tends, colours and looks.
As time changes, so does our beauty habits. If we take a walk down makeup memory lane, then we will realize that the way of makeup being done in 2010 is totally different from the way it is being done in 2020. Makeup has never been about following the rules, it’s all about stepping out of your comfort zone and getting creative. So, after months of extensive research and stalking, we at Brush Up By Vanshika have rounded some of the biggest makeup trends of 2020 that are worth trying out.
Pastel Eyeliner
2019 was all about neon eyeliner, but now it’s the time to experiment with pastel eyeliner. The pastel colours, in particular, look super pretty and make you look more awake in an instant. This 2020 makeup trend is quick and easy way to make your eyes pop with subtle touch of colour and without going overboard too.
Monet Eye Makeup
Eye makeup trends can be either simple or complicated, but it can never be boring. Monet eye makeup is one of the prettiest trend to have emerged in the past few months. The name only suggests that this eye makeup is a work of art and your eyelids are the canvas for it. Actually, this look reminds us of those dreamy paintings we can stare at forever. The look is soft and playful and you can experiment with multiple colours. You can choose one colour for your inner corner, another for the centre of the lid and the last for the outer third of your lid.
Floating Eyeliner
These days floating eyeliners are quite in trend. Your eyeliner doesn’t have to always stick to your lash line. It’s not the only place to wear your eyeliner. Instead of traditional black eyeliner, try out floating eyeliners and that also in bright colours. Floating eyeliner is considered as a modified version of the ‘negative space eyeliner’. This style feature lines on the eyelids, which neither touch the lash lines nor connect the inner and outer corner of the eyes. This eyeliner works as a saviour for women with hooded or mono-lids eyes. You can put the liner just right above your crease and can go with the flow.
Colourful Lower Liner Makeup
This 2020 makeup trend is quite fun. It’s time to let go your top lash line of having all the fun and add some drama to your lower lashes. You can line your lower lash with either the same or a shade lighter that has been applied on the top lash. It’s quite an easy eye makeup to try but adds fun to your overall look. BrushUp by Vanshika recommends you to try the look for the overall fun that it adds to your look.
Bright and Colourful Mascara
Give your black mascara a break and add some colour to your lashes. Experiment with coloured hues. If you are not sure of pulling off a bright pink or neon green mascara then go for a deep blue or green mascara. If you want to ease into the technicolour trend then layer a coloured mascara on your black mascara to just add a tint to your lashes. Once you are comfortable with your coloured mascara then you can also take the trend even further by matching your lipstick or liner to your mascara for a monochromatic effect. Colourful mascaras are fun and statement making, and are easier to pull off in your everyday life.
Neon Eye Makeup
All over neon trend is bit tiring. Thankfully, 2020 is the year for minimalist makeup. Instead of applying neon shadow all over your lid, try just highlighting the inner corner of your eyes with a neon shade. It will add a quick hint of colour and will make your eyes pop. You can also opt for a neon eyeliner instead of black. Brush Up by Vanshika recommends you to try the neon makeup look this summer and stand out in the crowd.
60’s Cat Eye
Cat eye has always been in, it has never gone out of fashion. It has always been ahead in the makeup trend. It is a vintage look inspired by generations of iconic women.
This eye makeup is not an easy look to create. It takes a lot of practice to get that perfect and precise straight line. Keep practicing!
Frosted Eyeshadow
Shimmery eyeshadow enhances every eye colour and makes your eyes look more awake and bright. With shimmery eyeshadow one can achieve a gorgeous look with minimum effort.
Bedazzled Eye makeup
Leave behind those shimmery eyeshadows and the black eyeliner that you have been wearing since high school. It’s time to try bedazzled eye makeup look. Euphoria makeup effect is not going anywhere and is going to stay in 2020. If you are too hesitant to try this look then you can start with just one or two gold or pearl studs near the corner of your eyes. It’s just a plain fun arts and crafts project that you have to try on your face.
Feathered and Fluffy Brows
Gone are the days of structured, strong and polished brows. It’s time to embrace the bushy, unkept, lived-in and full brows. The look can range from light and fluffy brows that reach up just above your natural arch to dramatic brows that resemble feathers. Use a brow pencil or an angled brush to create hair like strokes to give the brow a fuller and more precise look. You can brush them with a mascara wand to achieve that feathered effect.
Brush Up By Vanshika recommends to combine a natural, discreet make-up with the Fluffy Brows. This completes the natural look and draws attention to your eye area.
Bare Skin
There is no such thing as no-makeup. It’s a big lie. You just don’t put layers on your face for a bare-skinned look. Wearing foundation every single day can be a bit too much for most of the women. To keep your makeup minimal, and not completely hide your natural freckles and textures, you can use a lightweight skin tint / tinted moisturizer as your base. It will even out your skin tone while at the same time hydrating as well. It gives your skin an overall glow. As this look is all about glowing, natural skin.
Stained Lips
It’s time to let go off your bold lips. The just-bitten stained lips is a big 2020 makeup trend. This gives you a very natural, soft and dreamy colour on your lips and is super low on maintenance also. You don’t have to think again and again about the smears and touch ups. You can also carry these lips with a bold eye makeup look or a no-makeup look.
Over the Top Blush
Try wearing popping blush in pinks, raspberry and corals to make a statement. Don’t wear your blush just on the apple of your cheeks, but also sweep it high on your cheeks, into the temples and diffuse it underneath your brow bones to give yourself an ethereal and ultra-romantic look.It gives you a pretty all over flushed look.
Brush Up By Vanshika recommends combining the look with a few swipes of mascara, some natural eyeshadow, and a subtle tint of gloss on the lips to maintain the essence of the flushed out look.
Coral Matte Lips
Coral is a shade that is neither too red nor quite pink, it’s a perfect in-between shade. This balance in shade makes it a great lipstick choice for a bold yet understated look.Coral lipsticks have become quite a hot trend today with women going gaga over them all across the globe. The colour has become quite a favourite and there are a lot of brands which offer various types of coral shades. It’s a perfect shade to wear with bare face also.
Colour Blocking Makeup
Its time forgo the monochromatic look and try something new and daring. Try the colour blocking makeup look by pairing the bold eye makeup with the bold lips at the same time. Play with the contrasting shades and textures and pair them together. Like, you can pair a matte eyeshadow with a satin lipstick. Try having more fun with the colours.
