Makeup Trends for 2019
Will Include a Return
to Matte Skin and
Color-Blocking
I f 2018 beauty trends were all about excess, then makeup trends for 2019
will be a lesson in going back to basics. This year, with inspiration from
both the runways and pros like Dior Makeup Artist Ricky Wilson, three
very distinct looks ransacked our Instagram feeds and Pinterest boards.
First, we got ample use out of our liquid liner by trying all kinds of graphic,
colorful eyeliner looks. According to Wilson, the best way to pull this off
is by tracing it with a powder brow pencil first and then covering with the
liquid liner. He also says that sunset-colored eyelids–a look that embodies
dimension and smolder– were a frequent request in his makeup chair.
“Before I start building it,” he says, “I like to create a wash of smudged eye-
liner along the lash base covering the lid. Then I cover the liner with dif-
ferent shades of orange gold copper and rust. The goal is to look undone.”
And finally, who could forget the K-beauty-inspired mirror (or glass) skin
trend that inspired us to cut back on the foundation and instead mix a
small dollop with glow serums? In other words, we wanted dewy skin by
any means necessary. According to Wilson, that’s a done deal in 2019.
Instead, expect matte skin to make a comeback, though his favorite way
to apply that type of formula is actually with a damp brush; starting in the
center of the face and working his way out. Right now, his go-to is the new
Diorskin Forever Fluid Foundation, which actually doesn’t hit stores until
next month, but comes in both matte and skin glow finishes. “The thing
I love most about the matte is it looks flawless and not dry or old school.
It is also packed with skincare benefits so the skin looks healthy when its
worn. A must have in my kit,” he says.
