Barbie blush

Feeling a little dull? It’s time to bring out your inner Barbie with some seriously vibrant blush. Say goodbye to subtle pinks and hello to bold and beautiful cheeks. Whether you prefer a soft rosy hue or a daring coral shade, a pop of Barbie blush will instantly give you that youthful and radiant glow. Just remember, a little goes a long way—we want doll-like perfection, not clown chic!

Cloud skin

Move over, glass skin! There’s a new trend in town and it’s all about achieving that dreamy cloud-like complexion. Cloud skin is all about embracing your natural beauty and giving your skin a soft-focus effect. Start by hydrating your skin with a lightweight moisturizer, then apply a light coverage foundation or BB cream. Finish off with a touch of highlighter on the high points of your face for an ethereal glow. Embrace your inner sky and let your skin soar!

Pixel makeup

Calling all gamers and makeup lovers! Pixel makeup is the latest trend that merges the virtual world with real-life beauty. This trend involves creating makeup looks by face mapping using your blush, contour, and concealer. The makeup may seem a bit kooky on your face at first, but once you blend it all out, it’ll result in a natural-like finish.
