We know there’s no shortage of incredibly detailed makeup tutorial videos on social media – from exquisite smokey eyes to graphic eyeliner that belongs in a modern art museum. We understand this because we’re able to read these blogs and follow those Instagram reels for hours. But what about those quick and easy makeup looks that still appear intriguing and impactful? If you’re pressed for time but still want your makeup to look its best, or if you’re just eager to move outside of your comfort zone, check out the list of 5 eccentric makeup ideas below for inspiration. Fret not, we’ve jotted down five quirky makeup looks that’ll be a hit in 2023.
Makeup Looks That’ll Be Big In 2023
Glazed Donut
You’ve probably noticed the “glazed donut” trend or “dewy, glazed skin” trend all over social media. With moisturising skincare and glow-enhancing beauty products, it’s all about achieving that glossy look. By concentrating the placement on the temples and orbital bone rather than the cheek, it aims to push the limits of highlight and glass skin to their highest potential.
Glazed temples are a trendy, light-reflecting highlight on the temples that captivate the eye. In essence, we are moving all of the cheek highlight to the temple and orbital bones so that the light reflects with a flash as you angle your face or move on your own personal catwalk.
Sparkly Gems
We will always be thankful to Euphoria for reintroducing pearls, rhinestones, and other shiny things into our lives. While using makeup to embellish one’s look can seem a bit excessive, that is the mindset we entered 2023 with. These give an otherwise everyday makeup look a touch of sparkle and make it stand out right in the crowd. The usage of embellishments and jewels in makeup will undoubtedly become more prevalent, and we’re embracing it!
Edge Of Glory
You can still create an edgy effect by applying mauve and pastel grey tones because they are softer and easier to blend if you haven’t yet perfected an all-black smoky eye. For a diluted, hazy effect, try using an eyeshadow colour palette in cool neutrals.
Red Lip Classic
Red lips are always in vogue. This year’s red is described as “a bold red, long-wear lip with a high shine gloss topper,” with an edgy vibe. It’s crucial to apply a thin layer of translucent powder while applying colour in order to extend the wear time of the pigment. Apply a neutral pencil to contour and create a base for the lips. To set, apply translucent setting powder. Apply a striking matte red lip colour, then set it with a clear setting powder. Before applying a juicy clear lip gloss, let the powder rest for a bit on the lips and then brush off any excess.
Pop Of Neon
A splash of colour is never a bad idea, especially when it flips the conventional cat eye. In the inner corner of the eyes, just work your magic by pairing a neutral shadow with an unexpected pop of neon. And let me tell you, we are completely enamoured with it—especially since it allows us to achieve a vibrant, fun look with no effort.
