Beauty Trends in 2022

April 7, 2022

We can all agree that 2020 and 2021 were tough years. But some positive things came out of these pandemic years and that is the amount of experimentation with beauty! With everyone stuck at home, unable to get haircuts, not needing to wear makeup everyday, and generally having a lot of time on their hands, beauty trends started to shift. Easy options won out, the desire to go back to natural beauty was born, and time to experiment with fun options was also available.

With this in mind, here are some beauty trends to expect in 2022:

Natural Skin

We can call this easy beauty. Instead of using “full coverage” foundations, you’ll likely see a lot more barely-there bases such as tinted moisturizer. Let’s let those freckles and “flaws” show! I personally am totally on board for this one. It’s actually how I’ve done my makeup for many years. You can see my makeup tips for women over 40 in this previous post. The “skin peeking though” method is a much more natural look that I love. That means lots of cc creams, tinted moisturizers and sheer to medium coverage foundation should be in our makeup bags. Below are some of my current favorites.

Bold Beauty

With lots of time at home to experiment, not to mention an abundance of makeup tutorials, we can expect the unexpected this year. Color could make a big step forward with eyeliner, eyeshadow, and eyebrows.Colored eyeliner adds a fun flair as do neon eyeshadows. Bleaching eyebrows may make a comeback as well. Have some fun and try new things! We may also be moving away from the matte lip color. Glossy is the new trend and I’m so glad because matte lip products don’t look great on most of us.

Less Waste

You may have noticed a slight shift toward refills rather than entirely new containers for your beauty products. Refillable containers will significantly cut down on the amount of waste created by the beauty industry each year. Less waste is great for the environment. We hope this will continue for 2022 and beyond!

Going Waterless (but it’s not what you think!)

  • Using nourishing oils and botanical ingredients as the base to beauty products instead of water is a trend that has multiple benefits. First of all, not using water means that the products will be more potent. So hopefully, you’ll need to use less of them to get the same results.
  • Secondly, the use of oils and botanicals will not require the use of preservatives for the products to keep long-term.
  • Lastly, reducing water consumption by the beauty industry is going to be beneficial to the environment overall. Seeing as the worldwide trend of a depleting water supply is looming, reducing water usage in beauty products is a great step in the right direction.

Statement Hair and Height-Defying Hair

Staying home more for two years has also had a significant impact on hairstyles. Without easy access to haircuts, many people have lived with hairstyles growing out and not being able to tame them. The result? Embracing “rebel cuts.” We may see more of this trend moving forward as a significant way to express yourself. With searches for “shaved head dye designs” and “mullet hairstyles” trending lately, we will probably see a lot of hybrid and retro styles plus colors a-la Billie Eilish. Popular hashtags for hairstyle trends include the wolf cut, shag, and mullet haircut.

Along with statement hair, we should continue to see high puff hairstyles. Between “space buns” and the top-knot, tall hair styles will remain in style this year. I’m all for the top knot, but don’t think I’ll be sporting a mullet or any of the other trending statement hair styles.

Have you seen these beauty trends or any others so far this year?

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

I'm excited to share with you my latest obsession - Lysse New York! Their clothing’s won me over with its beauty, quality and comfort.

I’m petite at 5’1” and these cropped length pants fit me great, along with their tops. The brand is eco friendly using recycled materials in many of their products. Very cool!

This wide leg style is a favorite of mine. Are you a fan too?

Let me know if you want links and sizing info.💖

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰
