While many of these beauty trends are far from subtle, they never feel overdone. Think washes of color instead of complex eye looks, thick feathered brows instead of Instagram arches, and shaggy layers over sculpted waves. While we encourage stepping out of your beauty comfort zone, don’t fret if the thought of bright blue eyeshadow sends you running. A swipe of colored liner or an updated French manicure is a nod to the maximalist trend that doesn’t veer too far from the classics.

THE GEMSTONE EYES
Call it the Euphoria effect, but inventive takes on eyeliner and rhinestones—lots of rhinestones. At Pyer Moss had ruby red crystals all over their lids and around their eyes, while Pat McGrath created brightly colored eye looks with decals at Marc Jacobs. Off the catwalk expect to see more subtle variations, like these cool confetti eyes on model Salem Mitchell, or ease your way in with stick-on rhinestones on the inner corners of your eyes.
CRYSTAL NAILS
Searches for “Swarovski crystal nails” are up 128% on Pinterest, and it's not hard to see why. Who wouldn't want to look down and see little disco parties on their nails? There's the option of going to a salon to have them delicately place crystals in a line along your cuticles or tips, but you can also go the DIY route with a chunky glitter polish, whichever way possible , keep up KAREN. Go get your nails done, there’s no room for those old fashioned nude nails.
PASTEL EYES
Worn all over your lids or just as a flick of liner, maybe a stroke over your waterline, pretty pastel shades are set to have a moment this spring. Most popular pastels - in dreamy
washes of mint, peach, powder blue, lilac, and lemon. Expect to see more palettes hitting drugstores that'll let you test the waters. Try something new , get out of your comfort zone, take it slow but you’ll soon come around and enjoy the soft colours bringing out your eye colours in a way you’ve never seen before.
HAIR CLIPS
If you didn't get in the HAIR-CLIP game in 2K19, Great News: Now's your chance! While teens are leaning toward wing and butterfly clips, those of us who have too many haunted memories of wearing them with braces can gravitate toward more grown-up options, like pearl clips, adorned bobby pins, and gold claw clips. They have a way of changing your entire look, giving you that 90’s fun flirty vibe that the entire beauty community is enjoying.
BLUSH PINK NUDE MAKEUP
For those who prefer subtle over sparkle, 2020 has something for you too: soft, fresh-faced looks emphasized by a sweep of blush. On your cheeks, yes, but also on your eyes and lips for a more ethereal, sun-kissed vibe that doesn't require layers of bronzer or powders. The other key component: skin that looks like skin , let it show its true self, with skin tints that give your skin a healthy glow but also a slight coverage. Grab a Pink shade that you love and get on with it , that’s all you are going to need to get your look together.
NEON LINERS
Give your daily cat eye a 2020 update by swapping your basic black for a swipe of NEON. For an editorial look, keep the rest of your face minimal and throw on an equally bright outfit in the same shade. If not liners try highlighting your inner corners with NEON shadow, this changes the entire game with a bold lip.
GLASS SKIN
This year is all about a moisturized, lit-from-within glow. Originating on the K-beauty community, loyalists to this 2020 beauty trend dive into an extensive skincare to create a complexion that mimics to have been sculpted from glass. To achieve the look without an 11-step K-beauty routine, apply an illuminating+dewy primer under your dewy foundation and finish with a creamy, natural highlight & blush.
THE FLOATING CREASE
Another retro-inspired beauty trend for 2020: THE FLOATING CREASE. Taking inspiration from the dramatic cut creases of the '60s, a swipe of liner above the crease is a simple update to your usual cat-eye adding a hint of drama and simplicity to the look. To make the look more chic join your wing and the crease liner giving it an editorial edge.
THE FLUFFY BROWS
Thankfully the overly-filled-in Instagram brow is finally on its way out in favor of a fluffier, more natural look. Opt for tinted brow gels and thin brow pencils to subtly define your natural brow shape.
GLOSSY LIPS
Can we all agree to leave matte liquid lipsticks in the 2010s? The glossy lip is back, and whether you’re after a balmy finish or full-on reflective shine, this is one of the easiest beauty trends of 2020 to pull off. Dab clear gloss over your favorite lip color for a subtle update to your usual look OR spice it up with a shimmery gloss , or a tinted gloss!
