New Update

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic locked us up in our houses, most of us have been living in pyjamas with bushy eyebrows, hair loaded with oil, and a face mask. However, now that the lockdown is easing up, you have all the reasons to awaken your dormant inner diva. If 2020 gave us a lot of bad news, it also gave us some cool and quirky makeup trends.

Here are 2020's reigning makeup trends listed just for you. Have a look.

Floating eyeliner

Floating eyeliner has been all the rage in 2020. Extend your cat eye, add another line along the crease, and join both the lines. Voila! Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.

Any glitter goes

Glitter always looks cool, but are you bold enough to try it out? Put just a slight amount of glitter on the bridge of your nose or cheeks and shine on.

Watercolour lids

No more monotonous eye shadows, please. 2020 is the year of experiments. Use a pair of contrasting colours as eyeshadow to get a bold yet dreamy look.

Summer Blues

Wearing a bold red lipstick for the thousandth time? How about a turquoise blue lipstick?

Fluttery mascara

Load your lashes with mascara to attract attention towards it. With heavy, fluttery mascara, your eye makeup looks complete even without eyeshadow. How cool is that?

Colourful lower liner

This trend is a quirky one. Apply any dark shaded eyeliner on your upper eyelid. Use a lighter shade of the same colour for your lower eyelid. This gives your eyes a sharp, bright look.

Animal print eye shadow

Even if you're not a fan of animal print dresses, you have to admit that animal prints look gorgeous. An eyeshadow of animal print looks even sexier. It's a tough job, but it's worth it.

Glossy look

Not in the mood to apply eyeshadow and eyeliner? Just grab an eye glow, put a few dots on the eyelid and blend it. Also, you can rub a little gloss over your cheeks to get an overall glossy look with minimal effort.

Neon corners

Bold neon eyeshadow is overrated. Now we apply a little neon eyeshadow just in the corner of the eyes. Minimal and creative!

Brushed up brows

It's time to finally get your eyebrows done, ladies. However, they need not look greasy with eyebrow gel. Brush up your eyebrows and give them an airy, fluffy look.

Pastel eyeliner

Pastel shades of eyeliner during winters; sounds perfect, doesn't it?

Bedazzled eye makeup

If you are feeling courageous enough to sport something extra, design your eyes with studs on your eyelids. Creative, isn't it?

Mismatched eye shadow

Once again stuck between two colours for eyeshadow but running low on time? Put each colour on each eyelid. However, you will have to make sure they go together.

Two-toned eyeliner

This is perhaps the most elegant makeup trend of 2020. Put two shades of eyeliner, one over the other to get a graceful look.

Tattoo stamps

Use cute little temporary tattoo stamps on your cheeks to get a funky and straight-out-of-Pinterest look.
