Admit it or not, skincare and makeup products are just instant mood-boosters no matter what. And any beauty routines for that matter. From the polar opposites of simplistic to extremist directions, we’re bringing you some trends in the beauty department that we’re sure you’re gonna love this 2021:

1.Skinimalism

The current lockdown lifestyle has definitely impacted the way we build our skin and makeup routines. And most of us are leaning towards minimalist and natural looks. 

Skinimalism is all about embracing one’s real skin as the new version of glam. In an Instagram-obsessed world where photo-retouching to achieve “perfect skin” is very prevalent, Pinterest has recently released a report that many people on their site are actually searching about “natural skin”. And this is a great thing, because it means many still want to move away from unrealistic beauty standards.

Pinterest’s report on the popularity of the skinimalism trend shows that many will want to feel comfortable enough in their skin and appearance through scaled-down skincare regimens which allow one’s natural beauty to shine through.

For a fresh face look, leading South Korean skincare brand AHC offers its famous Peony Bright Deep Cleansing Foam, which feels so light yet creamy.

This is the perfect choice to kiss away acne for that smooth face you’d be confident to flaunt for that natural look. Buy it here.

AHC’s Peony Bright Deep Cleansing Foam goes perfectly well with AHC’s The Real Eye Cream for a smooth, flawless finish.

Part of the skinimalism movement is marrying the convenience of both skincare and makeup in one. Ellana’s Stay Fresh 3-In-1 Facial Mist With Camellia Extract is one of the best products to achieve this combined beauty trick.

This powerhouse skincare-infused facial mist primes your face, sets your makeup, and nourishes your skin all in one bottle. This multi-mist is brightening and pore-refining, which is also best for oily skin. You may order it here.

3.Bold Eye Makeup

While minimalist beauty is all the rage this year, some true-blue beauty junkies are taking advantage of this time to show off their creativity through outlandish eyeshadows. Eye-catching colors for your lids are where you can really have the most fun with makeup, since we’ll probably be wearing masks for the first half of 2021. Eyes will still be the primary focus.
