We’ve done a round-up of the 2022 beauty trends worth trying and share some tips and tricks on how to get the look

PASTEL POWER
Not ready for the bright shades but still want to add some colour on your eyelids? Then pastel eyeshadow tones are for you. Go subtle with little accents on the centre of the lid or be bold and cover the entire lid with a wash of colour. Pastel purple is a real crowd-pleaser and is surprisingly easy to wear.

REAL OR FAUX?
Freckles are being celebrated by the beauty and make-up world and is thus a massive trend. If you weren’t lucky enough to be born with freckles, you can easily ‘fake it till you make it’ and create faux ones. Dot a brown-toned brow pencil over the nose and cheeks and dab with your ring finger to blend.

THE LASH LIFT
When false lashes are applied incorrectly, they can leave your eyes feeling heavy and may appear smaller than they really are. Here’s the trick: Curl your natural lashes and apply lengthening mascara, then cut the false lash strips in half; you should now have four pieces. Discard the inner corners – the ones that have the shortest lash on the end. Apply the other cut lash strip to the outer corners of each eye. This gives a natural look and creates lash lift in the corners only.

NEON ALERT!
One of the most artistic, expressive and really fun make-up trends is neon liner. This trend can be an entire eye make-up look on its own – there’s really no need for eyeshadow. There are no rules when it comes to this trend. You can be as subtle or as bold as you want to be. Geometric lines with a colour liquid liner is all it takes and it’s easier than you think. Simply trace the upper lash line or create a dramatic cat eye; you can pull it off in any way you’d like.

BE BOLD
The bold lip has been around for many years and it’s not going anywhere. The key to this trend is to incorporate it into your daily style – it doesn’t have to be reserved for a special occasion only. Our go-to has to be a vibrant red. It really suits any occasion and it’s all about experimenting and finding the correct shade for you.

JUST ADD GLOSS
Now, we’re not saying go wild and make your lips unnecessarily sticky – no one likes it when their hair gets stuck to their lips in a gust of wind! Start small with a modest amount that just creates shine and volume to the lip area. Gloss is a great trick for making lips look fuller and plumper.

DON’T MAKE ME BLUSH
This season is all about statement blush in bold peach or punchy pink. Apply by smiling and adding blush to the apples of your cheeks and pulling the brush up to your temples, then repeat and blend well. By applying in layers, you are able to build the product to the desired intensity.
