It’s that time of year again! Yup, The Makeup Show is coming back to New York City and is expected to be even better than before.
The epicenter of beauty will reconvene at the Metropolitan Pavilion where professional artists, legends and industry experts will gather this spring (May 5-6, 2019) in the name of makeup. From stocking makeup kits to the highly-anticipated Beauty Brunch (May 4th), attendees will have the opportunity to relish in a fun-filled weekend of networking, mingling and educational activities. For those who aren’t exactly pros and won’t be attendance, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
James Vincent, The Makeup Show’s Director of Education & Artist Relations and one of the biggest names in beauty, shared some of the major makeup trends we can expect to see and of course, try this spring/summer season. Our biggest takeaway: glitter isn’t just for little girls.
Check them out below:
The Year of the Cat
Who doesn’t love a classic cat eye? There is not much in makeup that gives such immediate drama as the perfect feline flick. This season sees cat eyes in new colors and more dramatic shapes that allow the wearer to be more individual. Many designers brought dramatic shapes to the runway, but brands like Burberry did it in shades like taupe. Take a look at Danessa Myricks Color Fix or Cushion Color for a large array of color that is also waterproof. Classic houses like Dior showed more artistic flare and finish and many challenged the size and shape of the cat eye. Crown Brush eyeliner pens come in an array of shades and at less than $10 do not break the bank. Kevyn Aucoin at Camera Ready Cosmetics has the most beautiful black liner with a perfect tip for natural or dramatic looks. Kryolan Skin Liner pens come in shades that range from taupe to red and bold blues and allow any person to perfect the cat eye like a pro.
Shimmer and Shine
Glitter has managed to make its way from kids craft projects to fashion in a major way. We saw glitter and shimmer in the form of jewel and foil finishes on the eyes at Giambattista Valli, glitter lips at Jeremy Scott, crystal finish at Valentino and metallic eyes at Versace. Every artist from Val Garland to Pat McGrath are bringing it again this season. Lemonhead at Alcone offers easy to control glitter without the difficult clean up. Shadow palettes like Viseart and MustaeV make it easy to bring jewel tones on to the eyes. For metallics, Mehron Metallic Powder is ideal for real gold and silver touches, try the rose gold for the eyes and lips for an unforgettable look. Stila at Frends beauty gives glitter a fashion forward look for eye and lip with a while collection of jewel tones, glitters and metallics that are perfect for the pro or everyday makeup wearers.
Skin Gang
This season it was a truly glowing, natural look. Every day skin care and beauty routines help to bring a gorgeous complexion all summer long. Start by gently exfoliating with Twinmedix Resurface, a non-granular exfoliant that gets rid of all the dry and dead skin. Rebels and Outlaws Potion are the perfect blend of organic Hydrosol and essential oils infused with Crystal to balance your skin PH and your energy. Protect and moisturize with celebrity secrets from brands like Perricone MD and Mario Badescu Skin Care. For coverage, try airbrush with Mineral Air or Kett Cosmetics for a flawless finish that looks natural and lasts through the intense Texas summer. Try Limelife by Alcone One Drop Wonder and Dew Date for skin that has exceptional glow without the grease.
