16 Makeup Trends To Hit the Streets this Spring 2018
With some good old trends like the perennial red lipstick making a comeback, Spring 2018 had some other good new ones too including major highlighting, no contouring and a tonne of sparkle.
Check out the 16 makeup trends to hit the streets this Spring 2018:
Glittery, Black Eyeliner
It might sound a bit been there, done that, but celebrity MUA, Pat McGrath added a little twist to it by making the eyeliner thick and round at the edges.
Simply line your eyes with a black liner and then added a glitter black eyeshadow over it.
Product Pick of the Season:
stila – Magnificent Metals Glitter and Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Molten Midnight
Graphic White Liner
Graphic liner has been done before too. But for spring 2018, the MUAs opted for white color and focused on the lower lash line instead of the upper one.

smashbox – Always On Gel Eye Liner Blank
Peachy Glow
Spring is all about looking fresh and glowy after the dull, dry winter months and this trend helps you do just that.
Swipe a peach liquid blush over your cheeks, eyes and lips for a healthy, dewy look that’s au natural yet glamorous in its own way.
Product Pick of the Season:
stila – Convertible Color Petunia
Shades Of Gold
While makeup brands are hopping on the holographic trend left, right and center, MUAs are still focusing on the good old gold highlighter for the runway looks.
A bold swipe over the top of cheekbones, on the brow bone and the tip of your nose and you are en vogue in no time at all.
Product Pick of the Season:
Dermablend – Glow Creator Multi-Use Liquid Highlighter Gold
The After Party Look
If only we all looked like this after a party.
The idea behind the look was to create a look that reflected the remains of the makeup after a party. In MUA words, a lip stain and several coats of mascaras. The lashes were pinched in clumps once the mascara had dried down.

Spa Skin
Coined by the fashionista Victoria Beckham, spa skin trend might look like a no makeup look – baring just fresh, dewy skin – but its much more than that.
