From mask-proof lipstick to bushy eyebrows to a minimal makeup look, check out the top beauty trends of 2021.
Mask-proof lipstick
The Covid-19 pandemic forced everyone to wear masks to protect themselves and others from the virus but it didn't stop them from wearing their favourite lipsticks. Mask-proof lipsticks were all the rage with plenty of options available online. So, people started wearing smudge proof or transfer proof lip tints and matte lipsticks that stayed on the lips even with the masks on.
Minimal makeup
The pandemic made people opt for minimal makeup or no-makeup looks. All because they were either not stepping out of the house or were wearing a mask. So, people went the minimalist route and focused more on keeping their skin fresh and hydrated.
Do it yourself
As people couldn’t visit parlors and salons, they opted for DIY methods. The Internet turned out to be a huge help during this time. People saw videos online and fulfilled their grooming needs like waxing, threading, facials, manicures and pedicures by themselves. Face razors and epilators became a must-have to remove unwanted hair from the face and body.
Natural ingredients for skincare
Thanks to coronavirus, people have become more conscious about their safety and health and prefer using all natural products. The home remedies that have been used since time immemorial came back in trend. Products like aloe vera gel, besan, curd, multani mitti and turmeric became extremely popular.
Thick eyebrows
Given that most people remained indoors in 2020 and couldn't do much to manage their brows on their own, it was natural for women to sport thicker or bushy eyebrows. And it sort of became a trend in 2021.
