In terms of beauty, times have surely evolved since last year. The trends are getting simpler, yet still more complex, in a way. 

Subtle is the new theme now.

Gone are the days of overly done contour, dark eyebrows, and smoky eye makeup.  We are welcoming the new age of skincare and cosmetic procedures that stick.  Fashion and beauty experts have called it. This is the year where we will be amping up our treatments, taking skincare to next level. 

It is no longer taboo to get your jaw chiseled via safe nonsurgical procedures to look better on Zoom calls.  

These are just a few of the new beauty trends in 2021.

Cosmetic procedures

Have you ever thought of having a more defined jaw or cheek? You’ll be seeing a lot more of these in your social media feed because the injectable market is booming. There are also several cosmetic procedures that are nonsurgical, which makes it even more attainable and affordable. 

However, at the same time, there is also an influx of surgical cosmetic procedures. Botox and fillers are becoming less and less taboo and more acceptable. 

According to this article by Allure, the demand started last year during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.  And it is expected to skyrocket this year. People have a lot of time on their hands to do their own research because they don’t go out as often, plus the downtime from a cosmetic procedure is more manageable.

Transfer proof lipsticks

Well, of course, you wouldn’t want your lipstick to transfer to your face mask, would you? Matte lipsticks have been around for so long and this time it’s not just enough that people get matte transfer-proof lipstick. At the same time, they shouldn’t be harmful to your lips or feels like cement when it finally sets.

I’m talking about this Mac Cosmetics Powder Kiss that glides on like butter but settles on your lips beautifully – giving it a blurring effect. Some say it feels like a cushion on your lips.

If you want a more affordable transfer-proof lipstick that’s also gentle on your lips you can try this NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick

Facelift makeup trend

There’s a new way of applying concealer today ladies and it’s supposed to give you instant Botox! Or that cat-eye look.

If you’re not into cosmetic procedures and you just love putting on makeup and play around with it, this is something for you.

The trick is to put the concealer on the inner corner of your eye, on the outermost corner, and under your lip going outwards. You can see in the image above the dramatic effect it gives when you apply the facelift way. 

Maskne products

Maskne is a real problem! When you wear a face mask for longer periods of time, the moisture-causing bacteria on your chin, on your mouth, and the parts of your face that are covered just stay there. They multiply and give you overactive oil glands, more sebum, and did I mention bacteria?

While a face mask can help protect you from COVID-19, it is a powerful setup for maskne or acne within your mask. As a result, people are now becoming more aware of taking care of their skin, especially the part covered in face masks.

Get ready for skin-friendly face masks made of silk, soothing face sprays, and face masks formulated with zinc oxide. 

Here’s a best seller from Amazon RemeVerse Mask RX Treats & Prevents Maskne; Breakouts, Acne, Irritation from Face Masks which treats and prevents maskne with Salicylic Acid.

The best tip to avoid maskne is to make sure your face is clean before you wear a mask, put on a moisturizer, and choose the mask that’s best for your skin.  

You can try a copper mask or a silk mask. It’s more of a trial and error kind of thing but just make sure you’re still following CDC’s guidelines for face masks.

Microbiome health

Probiotic skincare is an emerging trend. It’s like taking care of your gut health and the good bacteria inside you. This time it’s part of your skincare routine.

Probiotic skincare is taking care of the microorganism in your skin and finding the right balance of the microbiome with the use of topical probiotics and prebiotics.

Here’s bestselling probiotic skincare from Amazon – Andalou Naturals Probiotic + C Renewal Cream, Probiotic Plus, C, Ivory, Probiotic Plus C, 1.7 Oz:

Minimalism 

Subtle is the new sexy. Remember the no make-up makeup trend from three years ago? It’s back.

Taking care of your skin to improve its texture and be free of textures and blemishes is the latest trend that experts say would definitely stick.

Most people no longer want to spend time layering makeup on their face.  Freckles are cute again.  Groomed eyebrows and curled lashes are the new fresh routine. It’s the new aesthetic.

Retinol and chemical peels

Retinol has been the go-to for women and men as they enter their early thirties. It has become more popular and trendy in 2020 and remains so because of influencers who are dermatologists. 

You willl suddently find that Cerave moisturizing cream and cleanser (which they claim to have done wonders for acne-prone skin), Retinol,  BHA peeling products, and other at-home chemical peels are now rare finds in your local pharmacy or a Costco near you. That’s because everyone is using these products.

Paulas Choice–SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant is one of the products dermatologists/influencers are raving about.

Retinol and chemical peels can certainly slow down aging by boosting collagen production, drying out acne, drawing out impurities, minimizing the appearance of fine lines, and balancing the texture and skin tone.  These products help you bring out your skin’s natural beauty.

Beauty gadgets

From portable laser treatments to derma rollers and LED masks, people have discovered that they can’t go out and get an expert to take care of their skin.  So, they decided to do it themselves. Although we are not recommending you to do outrageous treatments that should be done by an expert, there are some gadgets that can really elevate your beauty regimen such as this LED Face Mâsk Light Therapy | 7 Color Skin Rejuvenation Therapy or this Skin Spatula, Blackhead Remover Pore Cleaner that eliminates your blackheads and removes the gunk out of your pores.
