No-makeup makeup has had its moment in the spotlight, but bold, atrevida makeup is looking to make a comeback. Bright lipstick, vivid eyeshadow, colorful eyeliner, and '80s-inspired blush have reentered the picture, and it's a fun time to get creative, be inspired, and play with makeup. Below are some product picks to shop if you're looking to jump on this beauty wave.
If no-makeup makeup is your thing, you can try a bold eyeliner to liven up your everyday beauty look. You'll be surprised by what a simple yet colorful wing or cat eye can do to your makeup. The Treslúce Intenso Liner in Icy ($12) is a shimmering white that instantly wakes up the eye, and the Colourpop BFF Ultra Fine Liquid Liner ($9) in Try Me is a bright red you can wear if you're looking to go bold and beautiful.
We all know what a bold lipstick can do to enhance any makeup look, and the Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick ($10) in Innovator coats the lips with a vivid, attention-grabbing red. For something a bit less conventional, the Lime Crime Soft Touch Lipstick in Disco Down ($15) is a bright magenta that makes a bold statement and flatters all skin tones.
Pick any color, and you'll soon realize how fun life can get when you're open to lively hues. The Morphe x Nyane Fierce Fairytale Artistry Palette ($30) has a rainbow-packed palette with everything from intense orange to neon green. The NYX Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette in Brights ($18) is another to consider for on-the-go glam.
Yes, red blush can be intimidating, but it can also be the makeup product you never knew you needed. The Treslúce Beauty Ready to Bounce Cream Blush ($16) in Girls' Night is a true red that gives you an extra-flushed-out face, because that's what summer '22 is all about. If a cream blush is more your thing, the Flower Beauty Blush Bomb Color Drops ($10) in Bitten is a gorgeous berry shade that's on the softer side while still being buildable.
To all the señoritas who can't leave their house without wearing highlighter, the R.E.M. Beauty Interstellar Highlighter Topper ($22) in Mama Earth is an unpredictable icy-mint highlight that gives your face a luminous, radiant look.
