Make Up Trends 2020: Looking Like A Queen In Quarantine

Treat yourself to a quarantine makeover and practice those skills with some fun and creative ways to look fabulous. Just because you may be cooped up in your bedroom all day doesn’t mean that you can’t go wild and get your face ready to head to the kitchen. So, why not treat yourself and the family to a new look every day by trying out some of these spring trends and plan your next beauty services:

• Neon eyes
• Wet look lips
• Metallic smoky eyes
• Natural look
• Retro eyeliner

• Floating eyeliner

 

‘Cause I’m Mrs Bright Eyed

We know, quarantine can be tiring, and those bags under those sparkling eyes are dragging you down. But fear no more as neon palettes are here to brighten your day! A pop of pink and a flair of green are guaranteed to get you into the back garden festival spirit, jumping up and down with Prosecco at hand to celebrate your success in getting through those quarantine tears and being released into freedom.

The unique thing about the neon look is that it is very rare that a colour clash will occur. The more colour you put onto your eyes, the more you’re going to pop with vibrant happiness! While you may be able to go crazy on colour, the key here is to make sure that you keep it low eye with the amount you put on. Add a pop of colour to the top of your eyelids in one simple swoop, and a touch of shadow on the bottom of your eyes, combining it with some sassy black eyeliner. Superdrug has a helpful step by step guide on applying neon makeup!

So girls, wanna find out what the best palettes are? Don’t you worry, we’ve got you covered.

The Metallic Palette

A makeup trend that is really popular with our clients this year is to ditch the glitter and add some metallic satin to give a modern and stunning finish to your smoky look. A smoky eye can give a girl a badass look, when done right, of course. The great thing about a smoky eye is that no matter how bad you are at makeup, as long as it roughly looks the same on both sides, you should be good to go.

According to our make up artists in Milton Keynes, the best way to incorporate this into daily activities – brushing your teeth and dreaming about your celebrity crush – is to keep the eyeshadow within the eyelid and slightly fade it out. If you’re looking like you’ve been in a catfight, then you may have gone a little too far with the eyeshadow! Pair this metallic eyeshadow with a neutral lip, such as bronze, as well as warm blusher and bronzer. Master the art of the smoky eye with a metallic palette or stick for ease.

I Did Not Wake Up Like This

Is it just us or do you dream of the day you can wake up looking like Beyonce without having to whip out your makeup bag? Unfortunately, we’re not all lucky enough to have clear skin and naturally pink cheeks, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t give the illusion that this hour-long make up challenge is our natural essence.

From sister to sister, our make up artistshave come up with an easy way for you to achieve this natural glam without having to dream. You will need the following products to achieve this look:

• Concealer – hide away those dark circles and annoying spots.
• Light foundation – use a powder or airy foundation to give the illusion of natural skin rather than thick cakey makeup.
• Natural and subtle blush – the lighter and more natural the blush the better, you want to give a healthy glow not attempt to look like that scary childhood clown.
• Neutral shadows – apply light nudes and bronze to the eyelid to make your eyes glow a little more.
• Nude lip – this can go on your eyelids as well as your lip, we recommend using peachy and sandy tones.
• Mascara – no makeup look is complete without a dash of mascara.

Line Up Boys, She’s Going Retro

It is becoming more and more apparent that fashion and makeup are rotating from older trends but come with their own twist. One of the crowd’s favourites is to have thick winged eyeliner that makes a bold statement – the queen has arrived. Now before you go into a panic and scream at your mirror with wonky wings, take a deep breath and listen up. Rather than going free hand and making a mess, take a look at Cosmopolitan’s guide to perfect eyeliner every time.

Before you get carried away, it’s important that you have a good eyeliner to get you started. There are various different kinds of eyeliner, and it is a good idea to try a few out to find the type that best suits you. For example, you could go for a gel liner, a liquid liner or pencil liner, all of which can create a perfect flick. The quality of the product is what matters, not the type of liner you opt for, so we recommend these two quality brands!

She’s Dazzling Darling

Throw on some glitter and poof she’s a queen, even though she’s locked away in her tower – or flat. The answer to all of our problems is to throw on glitter, glitter and more glitter; it’s bound to make us feel like the sass queens we are and stand by the window to dazzle in the daylight. So, girls, it’s time to make a mess and start looking like Bella from twilight – after she became a vampire of course.

Grab yourself a glitter eyeshadow palette and highlighter that will make those cheeks pop for days. You can apply as little or as much as you wish depending on how much disco fever you have built up inside. We would always advise that you start by applying an undercoat to your lids. You can do this by taking your favourite eyeshadow palette and creating a smoky eye effect up and out of the lid. After this, carefully place your glitter shadow over the top for a delicate shimmer.

I’m Flying With Eyeliner Wings

Were we the only ones gasping at Anna Sui’s Spring 2020 collection? Well, if you missed it then let us fill you in on the makeup. Models were seen taking winged eyeliner to a whole new level, using the “levitating” technique to the max. This technique involves using eyeliner to create a wing or cloud around the eyelid rather than on the eye line. While this may seem like more of an artistic approach to makeup, it is actually a lot easier to achieve than you may think. All you will need is a colourful eyeliner, or even a black one, and a determination to look stylish.

Start by putting on your usual makeup and creating a stunning eyeshadow combination through a range of soft colours. It is important to make sure that the eyeshadow is kept subtle to ensure that the eyeliner design you’re about to create stands out. If the eyeshadow is too heavy, then it becomes hard to see your creation. After you have achieved this, it is time to get out that eyeliner and draw on a wing, cloud or flower effect around the eyelid. Make sure you’re using a quality eyeliner such as the ones featured below!

Slay The Hallway

Just because you’re sat at home doesn’t mean that you can’t strut yourself down the hall like it’s your very own runway. Use your time wisely and practice techniques to make sure that you can slay as soon as quarantine is over. But don’t worry, if applying makeup isn’t quite your forte, then there is no need panic, we’ve got you covered girl.
