Rainbow brows, yellow blush, and holographic lips were some of the craziest makeup trends of 2018. Not to mention royal lip art and corkscrew nails! Luckily, most of them were just passing fads; minimalism is still alive and thriving.

Some makeup trends are inspired by celebrities. Think of Kylie Jenner’s Stormi nails. Others come directly from the runway and actually make sense in the real world.

Whether you prefer a basic style or one that turns heads on the street, there are plenty of makeup ideas to experiment with.

Let’s take a look back at the top makeup trends of 2018 and a peek at what to expect next year!

Yellow Blush

Yellow blush was the hottest makeup trend this summer. No matter how crazy it sounds, it actually looks great.

Your skin already has natural yellow tones, so using blush in the same color can enhance your best features.

For best results, choose shades that mimic a natural, healthy flush. Apply nude lipstick and keep the rest of your look minimal.

If you’re feeling bold, highlight your eyes with a blue or black liner. It’s the perfect look for a night out!

Power Lips

Alexander McQueen, Rochas, Brandon Maxwell, and other high-end designers made a bold statement this year with scarlet red lipstick. This popular makeup trend is inspired by the buzz surrounding women’s empowerment.

Don’t be afraid to use this color at work or anytime throughout the day. It all comes down to how you wear it.

Match intense shades with a minimalist look. Pale cheeks, nude eyeshadow, and natural brows look amazing with red lipstick. Black liner is a good choice too as long as you pair it with light eyeshadow.

Brushed Out Brows

Bushy brows made a comeback in 2018. Yara Shahidi rocked this look with her unibrow at the Emmys.

Those who have gaps or thin brows can always use pencils and powders. It’s a lot easier than it seems! It takes seconds to fill in the gaps and get fuller eyebrows.

Your tweezers will be pretty much useless in 2019 too. Big brows are here to stay. In fact, this trend will be all the range next year.

Go for True Romance in 2019

Speaking of next year, expect to see a lot of pink and other warm colors. Peachy punk blush, rose and red lipstick, and delicate baby pink eyeshadow matched with a pale foundation are among the hottest trends of 2019.

Aim for an angelic look inspired by romance movies and books. The music clips at legal streaming sites will give a hint on how to rock this makeup trend!

Goth and Punk

Feeling bold? Then 2019 is your year!

Apply extra thick, dark liner on both lash lines, give yourself some bold eyes with a lot of mascara, and enhance your checks with a dark shade of blush.

Leave your lips natural or go for dark lipstick to complement your Goth look.

Let Yourself Be Inspired by the Hottest Makeup Trends of 2018

The most popular makeup trends of 2018 are not going anywhere. Feel free to carry them over into 2019 or give them a weak if that’s what you wish.

Don’t forget about the no-makeup makeup trend! It’s ideal for all minimalists out there and goes well with any skin tone.
