With so many people ditching lipstick in 2020, we can expect to see bold, bright lips make a triumphant return in 2021. It's a simple trend that elevates any outfit and brightens your complexion as well as your mood. Also you can choose a shiny, purple-tinted gloss and pair it with fluttery lashes and lots of highlighter for a winning look.
Bright Eyeshadow

Don't be afraid to wear colours you would usually avoid during the summer. Pleasant eye makeup is expected to be common in the future. This summer, it's time to switch up the colour in your makeup routine and really express yourself. For a confident look, use juicy bright eye colours like green, yellow, orange, and blue. You can use a single shade or a combination of shades to create a unique look.
Metallic Colours

Routines with a lot of glitz and glam will be popular this summer. Makeup with a beautiful metallic finish is a simple and easy way to add drama to your look — it's like your beauty jewellery. If you want to be bold, you can use metallic products on your skin, lips, cheeks, and even brows.
Dewy Skin

It is all about the "less is more" trend this summer. People will choose foundations with a lighter coverage to allow their skin to breathe. When applying a light foundation for a no-makeup look, it is recommended to stipple on the base product with a wet beauty blender sponge while your skin is still slightly damp from moisturiser. It doesn't have to be everywhere; it just needs to be where it's needed like areas with discolouration or spots. Apply a bright blush to the cheeks for an extra dewy but natural-looking finish.
Elongated Eyeliner

Although the cat-eye is a classic beauty trend, this summer it is all about the elongated fox eyeliner look or razor-sharp straight wings, which makes the eyes appear longer. Extend your liner beyond the outer corners of your eyes and slightly upward. Apply eyeliner to your inner corners as well, and then smudge it to blend if you're wearing eyeshadow.
Pastel And Bright Rainbow Nail Art

Pastel light rainbow nails are the playful trend on social media and celebrities that is a huge hit for spring/summer. It's rainbow manicure season, so use a different shade of colour from the same palette on each nail, particularly popping pinks. It's a quick and easy way to freshen up a basic manicure for summer. Bubble-gum pink, all shades of blue, as well as strong greens and emeralds, are expected to be extremely common.
Rosy Hues

Shimmering pink hues around the lids capture the dreamy escapism we often need from makeup. Apply a rosy-coloured cream blush to the apples of your cheeks and then blend it up and out into your cheekbones and slightly into the temples with black mascara on eyes.
