2011 has been an amazing year. We live in crazy times, and I’m not trying to underscore that. Even in the world of beauty, things have been tumultuous.
Some favorites:
Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Wild Violet collection came on the scene and purple quickly re-entered the mainstream. Women I know who would generally only wear brown or black eye pencil were especially pleased to see Untamed Violet.
Metallic finishes were huge on the scene in 2011, and MAC’s Mega Metal shadow collection is one way to wear the trend.
Color will continue to be a big trend in makeup, and brands like MAC Zoom Lash and Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash both introduced a variety of new shades.
My makeup prediction for 2012 is that metallic finishes will continue to be huge. More and more color will be used, especially on the eyes. Reader still wearing only neutrals, be warned. By the end of 2012, I’m betting you’ll make the switch to more color!
