GRAPHIC EYE

With masks and facial coverings the new norm, it’s no wonder that eyes are becoming the site of self-expression. As the temperature rises, eyeshadow looks will only get brighter and more elaborate. Color is coming back this season and in a big way.

““With the eyes becoming the focus, we are getting creative on how to express [ourselves] with pops of color.”

— Stephanie Flor

Amp up your look this season with a statement-making eye look. The evolution of the graphic eye for summer is less about heavy contours and more about incorporating a pop of color in unexpected ways.

““Summer 2021 is all about the unique eye makeup—whether it’s asymmetrical graphic liner, pops of color, dramatic lashes—it’s all about saying wow with your eyes.” ”
— Shadi Malek

DRAMATIC LIPS

After a year's worth of hiding beneath masks, let's be real... Your lips deserve some spotlight. Perfectly shaded lips are your best friends when it comes to leaving an impression. 

 Boldness and drama are some of the big themes for the summer 2021 makeup trends, with more people daring to use products of different colors, rich tones, and surprising depth. A bold lip can transform your mood, even if it’s covered by a mask. The same theme flows through to the lips, where bold, dramatic lipsticks are sure to be popular in the summer months.

““I feel like bolder lip colors, such as pinks and corals, are really making a statement right now, especially heading into summer.””
— D'Amelio

MONEY PIECES

In terms of hair color, the "money piece" is trending in 2021. Bold, contrasting highlights have been poppin' for about a year now, and we are fond of the "face-framing twist" the trend has lent itself to. It’s a pop of highlights right at your part line in the front. It's a statement whether you opt for a punchy blue, green, or pink, or a more natural blonde, brown, black, or red.

This technique is seamless and can look more natural, depending on your preferences. Money Piece makes your hair ‘look’ expensive, so it’s no wonder they’re loved by celebs all-over. The finished result leaves you with face-framing ‘money pieces’ that add dimension to your hair and help brighten and lift your complexion.

MULTI COLORED TIPS

A bright and bolder style decides to surface this summer. Multi-French tips will be all the rage this season and for good reason. These multi-color tips are the combination of two nail trends - the French manicure and the Gradient manicure. They'll add the perfect amount of flare to your look without clashing with your summer outfits. The version that features outlines with different shades is really popular.

For nail art, go for bright pops of colors on minimal bare nails, an angled French with a bright shade, or even a simple vertical stripe down—the middle of the nail can look super cool.
