soft glam makeup meaning

@alissajanay, @nikki_makeup

IDK about you, but one of the things I'm enjoying the most about 2021 (besides living in an all-around safer/healthier/more peaceful world, obviously) are all the fresh, new makeup trends. I mean, I can't be the only one who was sick of seeing the same blah eyeliner and glittery eyeshadow all over their feed, right? (Right.) So to help you get ~inspired~ to switch up your look and try something new, I've rounded up the makeup trends that legit everywhere right now—plus a few looks that are going to be everywhere in the months ahead. From bold, burgundy lipstick to brightly colored lashes, these are the 12 best 2021 makeup trends you need to know about.

1 2021 Makeup Inspo: Multicolor Eyes

What do you get when you combine purple, pink, yellow, and orange? This gorgeous multicolor eyeshadow look. All you need is a neutral-colored primer (it'll prevent whatever shadows you layer on top from fading or smearing) and a palette full of vibrant shades.

2 Burgundy Lip Trend for 2021

3 2021 Trend: No-Makeup Makeup

Clean and dewy skin, lightly flushed cheeks, neutral-colored lips, brushed up brows, fluttery lashes—they're all key features in creating this gorgeous no-makeup-makeup look. Wear it for day or night, for work or weekend; either way, you'll look stunning.

4 Classic Cat Eye for 2021

5 2021 Makeup Trend: Starry Lids

These star-studded lids are proof that don't need to go wild with shadow or liner to create an epic eye makeup look. To DIY, prep your lids in a clear gloss (it'll add the perfect amount of tackiness and shine) and then use tweezers to carefully place shimmery stars from your inner to outer corners of your eyes.

6 Red-Orange Lips for 2021

7 2021 Makeup Trend: Electric Blue Eyeliner

8 Lavender Eyelids Trends

9 Peach Lips for 2021

Soft, easy, and supremely wearable—the peachy lip trend is perfect for every day. Make like Selena and choose a balm formula for a plump, dewy effect (or, in a pinch, just tap a little Aquaphor right on top of your favorite peach-colored cream or matte lipstick).

10 2021 Makeup Trend: Violet Lashes

Told you purple eye makeup was gonna have a moment. If you're not into a ~dramatic~ purple smokey eye, may I suggest this violet lash look instead? It's so, so easy—just prep your lashes with a white lash primer, then layer on two to three coats of bright purple mascara.

12 Makeup Trend: Glossy Eyes and Lips
