Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
Do excuse my lash line.
I just ripped off my lashes before this.
You know, when you get like a really itchy
inside corner? I just couldn't deal with it.
So there might be some schmoo along my lash line.
I did have my lashes lifted, but for some
reason on me, it lasts like a week.
Anyway, so what I want to talk to
you about today are things that we can
leave behind from our makeup routines in 2023.
That's this year.
Now, these are all things that you probably would
have seen anyway online, but are most definitely going
to become more prominent in 2023 this year.
Sorry, I just had to put something on my lips.
I'll leave everything on my face, will be in the side.
Okay, so let's just get straight into it
first, and let's talk about under eye powder.
I'm not going to go into the like, oh, it's a thing.
But one thing that is definitely going to be
a little bit more... well, one thing we're actually going
to see less of is for heavy under eye powders.
Now we're going through a phase, and
there will always be that group of
people that like to bake quite heavily.
But coming into 2023, there's a lot of, like
natural, your skin but not your skin, but no
makeup but makeup kind of things happening.
And that's going to be in terms of everything.
We'll touch on that a little bit later.
But one thing you see trending online quite
a bit, and trends they always come
back around and they're very obvious to spot,
is lightweight powder under your eyes.
So you can still powder under your eyes, although
you do know you don't have to, right?
A light sheen of that powder under the eyes
is going to become such a thing, such a
movement, but we're going to start seeing more light
sweeps rather than the powder puffs and tapping on.
And this could even lead into not using powder at all.
A lot of people are using powders to
stop creasing and to set their under eyes.
Here's the deal.
Under eyes don't really need setting.
What they do need is moisture.
So, what we can do instead of our heavy powders
is replace those with a prep for under the eyes.
An under eye primer, a face oil, the tiniest,
tiniest, little pinch and tap under the eyes, blot it
away, concealer. You've hydrated under the eyes.
We rely on powder way too
much online in the makeup space.
It's not necessary.
It's not always necessary.
So it'd be nice to see people using powder when and
where they need it, if they need it at all.
Next thing we can kind of drop
from our routines in 2023 is contour.
Listen, I love contour.
And by the way, I'm not, I'm
not saying I hate all these techniques.
I'm saying that it's, it's like you
can see the trends coming up.
I'm still going to do some of
these things, and so can you. Contour.
Now, people are still confused about contour
versus bronzer versus this, versus that.
Things like blush and bronzer are always going to add
shape and some kind of structure to your face.
What contour does, because it's so
cold, is mimics shadow, right?
So it literally mimics the shadow of our face.
So when we look down and we get the shadow
on our nose, that's the shade of contour we use.
We get these shadows here.
Contour is to re-adjust your bone structure
almost, and your face shape.
What bronzer does is bronzers your face.
And it can add like a warmth to
the, to the edges of the face.
Blush, we can move it up and down to almost bring
forward the face, almost like what a highlight would do.
A concentration of color makes us concentrate
on that area and brings it forward.
So contour or heavy contour is something
that is going to fade out slightly.
And I see coming in, again, just like the
80s, using blush to add structure over anything.
Blush and highlight. I think everyone's going to get a
little bit bored of this drawing all over the face contour.
Of course, it's going to be, again,
in mainstream makeup, especially online, because visually it's
something that people like to watch.
But in terms of people like what they're
doing, suggesting like, have you heard about...
they'll call it, what will they call it?
They'll come up with some stupid
name for it, cloud blush or some [__] like that.
It's, it's the new way of doing this
when it's like the 80s version of doing this.
So I see a lot of blush up here in this area.
And using blush just to structure, natural
blushes, cream blushes to add a little
pop of color in those key areas.
Look at all this mascara.
And this can even be done with just your bronzer.
Like, bronzers are absolutely fine.
So it's almost adding structure with
a natural flush of color.
So goodbye heavy contour.
Even though we can still do it, we can still do it.
While we're talking about contour,
let's talk about highlight.
And let's talk about heavy over the top highlight.
Now, this isn't so much of a thing as it used to be.
Gone are the days of people walking around...
Oh, actually, not gone are the days. But most of the
people with that kind of gray stripe of highlight
down the side of their cheeks, you know?
And as we're moving into this kind of natural skin
movement, I think we're going to see more highlights
that our different textures that aren't exactly creams.
We're talking more like glosses, sheens, gels.
And there are some great formulas out there
that aren't sticky that you can use that
I personally really love. The Ciate Dewy Sticks,
which is one of my absolute favorite.
The Lisa Eldridge highlighter, the Rare Beauty highlighter, really nice.
Two of those are liquids, but
they don't look like liquids. You know what I mean?
We kind of, like borderline on this
phase at the moment of highlights being
like, look how incredible this highlight is.
And I think it's going to be toned down a little bit.
Your skin, but better. But healthy. But nice.
Listen, talking about glowy though.
We get a lot of our trends from different places around the world,
one of them mainly being South Korea.
And one of the trends at the
moment is more of a matte skin.
South Korea, the home of healthy glowy
looking skin, is introducing matte skin into
a lot more of their products.
So there will absolutely be this trend.
Like I was saying, we're kind of
ditching the heavy powder a little bit.
There's absolutely this trend of matte
skin with an outline of glow.
So imagine a powder foundation, for
example, or a matte found...
What is on my nose?
What's going on here? Nothing.
It's a ghost.
So imagine matte...
Oh, that's really annoying.
Imagine matte skin with like, for
example, like my nose is completely matte.
Let me block out that light.
Is completely matte, but it has that shine on it.
Like matte with that underline of glow.
See, I would add a little bit of
highlight there just to make it more natural.
And what's going to make that natural
going back to the highlight, is not
having highlights with glitters and metallics in.
Having those natural ones that I mentioned, is going
to make it look like real glowing skin.
Matte skin. Matte lips is another one.
We've seen this boom of lip oils, lip oil everywhere.
And there's like two brands that I like of lip oil.
Sigma, Lunar Beauty.
They do great lip oils.
Everyone else, it's like, I've seen it.
Lip oils kind of came late into the game
of the combination of makeup and skincare together.
I think we're all a little bit over skincare.
I mean, we still all use it, but we're not as
into it as we were during, like, lockdown season, where everyone
was taking care of their face a bit more.
We weren't really buying makeup.
We weren't going out because we couldn't. Well, some people were.
But people were kind of really getting into it.
And now everyone's a bit like, okay.
We moved onto fragrance, and then this year we're
going to move on to nails.
What was I saying?
Oh, yeah, lip oil.
So we're kind of over that.
Like like, oh, it's caring about my lips.
Of course we want lip product to care for our lips.
But matte lips is going to come back strong.
When was that year where everyone was matte red? Always.
It was always matte lips, matte lips, matte lips.
2014 I want to say.
I was still a makeup artist
in 2014, and it was always matte for everybody.
And sometimes we would, like, try
a gloss and they'd be like, no, matte, matte.
Get a matte lipstick.
So matte is 100% coming back in.
Now, we advance in makeup now where matte doesn't mean dry.
It doesn't have to mean dry and tight on the skin.
So even being a dry skin person,
you can still do matte skin.
The Maybelline 24H Powder Foundation you would
have seen me try already, I think would
work really well on a drier skin.
We have some great options now.
We have some great options.
And then touch up that dry skin
with tiny, tiny points of highlighter.
I would even powder over some
highlighters with a clear powder.
I've done it before.
It doesn't congel too much, or at all.
And get that kind of matte glow.
It's a really weird combination because
the two contradict each other.
But it really is a thing.
Talking about matte lips.
So when we have one trend,
there is always a complete opposite.
Glitter. Glitter in lips.
We've seen a lot of people...
I hate glitter. Making their own concoctions, right?
And again, we've been through a phase
of shimmer like glitter lip glosses.
Do you remember Dazzleglass was a big deal back
in the day, where it's physical chunks of glitter.
I'm not talking shimmer, shimmer, like a little bit shiny.
You can see, not chunky like craft
glitter, but it's quite obviously glitter.
I saw somebody do this, incredibly,
with a red lip recently.
If I can find it, I will share it on screen.
This red, I don't like glitter.
I like the way it looks, and I understand other
people like it, so I will always talk about it.
Imagine a glossy red lip with
that shimmer to it, beautiful.
Or even a pink or a peach.
So ditch the lip oils, and let's get back into some color on the lips.
There's something about having, not me personally, but I
know people love wearing a bold color lip.
You can do makeup on someone's face, and until
the lip is done, it draws everything together.
You're like, there it is.
There's your face.
That's how your face is today.
That's how your mood is today.
One thing we can get rid of this year, and
I actually quite like this idea, is full strip lashes.
We're going into corner lashes again,
which I really, really like.
Or those lashes that, they may be full strip,
but they kind of fan out this way.
Again, I'll find some and put them on the screen to
give that lift and flick in the outer edges.
This was a trend a long time ago where
a lot of us were cutting full strip lashes,
and a lot of people still do.
But again, I'm talking mainstream trends.
These are all things that people may still do.
We would cut lashes.
We'll put the outside edge on, and then put the inside
corner on top, just to get fuller on the outside, and
then maybe even add some individuals on the inside here.
But it was all about that lift
and that fluffiness on the outside corners.
Such a huge deal, such a huge trend back in the day.
And it was kind of like the go to.
If you were wearing false lashes, you would expect
to cut them and that's how it would be.
I really love that.
I think it's a really good idea.
And the way lashes can just lift the face and
lift the eyes, or even make them turn down a
little bit, the mood they give to lashes is incredible.
So I'm happy to see people being a
little bit more experimental with the shape of
their lashes and the positioning of their lashes.
I'm going to burp now.
Here's something I personally don't like.
I love my brows spiky, like...
Oh, I haven't drawn them in.
I don't fill them in. Whoopsie.
I love my brows spiky like this.
As somebody with really heavy brows that never
used to behave, I love them being controlled
and in the direction I want.
I love seeing all the individual strokes of hair.
That's because I use this West Barn Co. soap brow.
You've probably heard me talk about this 1 million times.
But spiky brows are kind of going to go away.
That like laminated look of brows.
So one thing we can kind of leave behind,
which I don't recommend at all, is, I guess,
the technique of spiking them up this much.
We still want groomed, we still want tamed.
But that feathery brow, raccoon brows we used to call
them way back, are going to be a little bit
more leaning this way rather than this way.
It's just a slight... bloop, bloop.
So we can still use products like brow soaps and
brow waxes, because we still want groomed and we still
want structure and shape, but not as spiky, unfortunately.
I love spiky brows. And let me tell you, all of
you are going to like, boo me heavily for this, but
I've been seeing pictures of those super skinny brows.
I love it. I love it.
I love it so much.
Yes, it's going to ruin your life when you
get older, because they're never going to grow back.
But oh, my God, some of them are looking really good.
I'm so sorry.
So those are a few things that you
might want to consider changing and leaving
behind in your makeup routine in 2023.
Of course, you don't have to. It's just trends.
We don't always have to follow trends.
And some of you may be doing these things already.
Let me know if there's anything you
foresee coming in the future in 2023, down below.
