We have already seen brands like FAE Beauty doing their part in including all genders that can use their products. Not only will this be great for the LGBTQIA+ community, but it will also be great for the beauty industry as they expand their horizons to everyone.
Glossy Lips

The main focus of this trend is not to shy away from applying your blush. You can go into town, keeping in mind your face structure and how you want to wear it. The best part about this trend is that you don’t have to use shades of pink as your blush but, with brands rolling out shades of red, orange and purple, you can create a statement with those, too.
Pastel Eyeshadow
Pastel colours are soft, pale shades of colours that look pretty in any form. With the Pantone colour of the year 2022 being a pastel-ish colour, a beauty trend to watch out for in 2022 was bound to feature pastel colours. This look not only appears fun but also looks gorgeous on any skin tone, making your eyes pop. You can go subtle with just a light layer or go bold, applying multiple layers to build the colour up.

Another eyeshadow beauty trend to watch out for in 2022 would be neon eyeshadows. Neon colours glow with intensity and look absolutely gorgeous when worn on the eyes. With this look, too, you can keep it subtle or bright as per your mood. Brands are coming out with pigments that are neon coloured and look great once applied. It is an excellent choice to wear when out at a club with UV lights, as these colours tend to pop much more. Everyone would certainly be watching you. These pigments can be doubled as an eyeliner as well.

Red Lips
A beauty trend to look out for in 2022 is the classic and captivating red lip. This look is so effortless that we cannot help but think it will take the internet by storm in the coming year. Red lips are super versatile and can be worn not only during the day but even at night. You may choose to go simple on the eyes and let your lips do the talking, or you may opt for a bold eye look and red lips that will definitely turn heads. Both ways, you would be winning since this look is a real eye-catcher. Sometimes it is better to keep it classy and chic.
