2019 was the year where the trends were all about the skin. Be it emphasizing on the no-makeup look to the candlelit-from-within highlighting and the slow declining of contouring, the year was marked by enhancement and appreciating natural complexion and look. However, it is believed that the 2020 makeup trends will look out for bringing back the days when it was all about eyes and bold lips, and more pastel colours.

Pooja Malhotra, a customer experience officer at  Kiko Milano points out that In 2019, there was a demand for coloured eyeliners and shimmered eye shadows.

Colours like light pink, ice blue, violet, light green are going to get much attention.

Colored Mascara

It doesn’t pop out like other colours, but will definitely give a different look,” says Kalpana Sharma, a makeup artist at  The Body Shop.  

Love for Toners
