Hi Everyone! Glad to see you back.

Today I am going to be talking about my favorite beauty trends. Every year we see beauty trends fade in and out. Here are my top 10 trends of 2022:

1. Neon Liner

   1. We saw this trend flourish in the summer especially. I know I myself would do a bright, bold liner in my waterline. This trend is so fun because it added a POP to a seemingly basic look. Also, when paired correctly with your eye color, it can be used to enhance your natural eye color.

   2. Quick Tip: To enhance your eye color use a color opposite of your eyes on the color wheel. An example is green and purple. So, if you have green eyes a purple liner would make them pop!

2. Skin, skin, and more skin

   1. Makeup recently has been very focused on skin. It is all about creating a seamless, flawless face. Most makeup looks are devoted to skin with just a little bit of eye makeup for flare.

3. red/copper hair

   1. Kendall Jenner at spring fashion week started this trend. Jenner dyed her hair a copper color for a runway show and this hair trend has taken off since. Especially now with it being Fall the warm tones are very in.

4. Blush

   1. Once again this trend deals with the appearance of health. Blush adds color back into your face and almost adds a youthful appearance. Especially a bright pink blush!

5. “Glass” Skin

   1. The term glass skin is used to describe skin that is almost glass-like in appearance. What this means is hydrated, even, dewy, healthy skin. The best example of what glass skin looks like is Hailey Bieber’s skin. I think I speak for most girls when I say having her skin would be an absolute dream.

6. SPF

   1. With a heavy focus on skin this year there is also a focus on protecting your skin. I feel like now more than ever there has been such an emphasis on applying an SPF everyday all year round and not just when lying out in the sun.

7. Braids

1. I feel like 2022 is the year of effortless beauty. Braids are a simple, effortless hairstyle that makes you look put together but still also does not require a ton of effort. Also, braids are a protective hairstyle. So what this means is they don't tug on your hair or require heat so they are a good hairstyle if you're looking to keep your hair healthy.

1. Laminated brows

   1. Laminated brows are meant to push your natural brow hair upwards and “laminate” or gel them like that for 6-8 weeks. This is meant to give your brows a more natural and even a more bushy appearance.

2. Gloss

   1. Glossy lips, glossy skin, glossy lids are all trending right now. I feel like this is because gloss almost gives the appearance of plump and hydration which equals health.

3. Slick back pony/ bun

   1. This goes along with the idea of effortless beauty. Achieving a slick back pony or bun is relatively simple, but gives the appearance that you tried hard and spent time doing your hair.

Two conclusions I have reached from writing this post: the appearance of health and effortless beauty are driving this year's beauty trends.

Thanks for reading! See you again next Sunday.
