A new year always brings with it a fabulous assortment of trends when it comes to beauty.
We’ve picked out our five favourites to keep an eye out for if you want to experiment with some new beauty looks in 2017.
- Metallic nails
From chic metallic tones to dazzling mirror effects, a little birdy has told us that metallic nails are being requested at nail salons up and down the country, and the trend is set to soar in popularity this year. - Holographic make-up
Similar to above, it won’t just be your nails that will enjoy a futuristic vibe, as holographic make-up is set to be big too. From eyeshadow to lipstick and polish, everything in your make-up bag is going to have a rainbow metallic vibe. - Glitter lipstick will officially arrive
Love it or loathe it, this has been making the rounds on social media, and on Instagram especially. But it looks like glitter lipstick is going to go from selfie to reality, and will definitely give your lips an extra special sparkle on a night out. - Charcoal will be the new go-to face mask
Although charcoal has been around for a while as a great ingredient when it comes to unclogging pores, it has usually been confined to shops such as Lush. But luckily, charcoal face masks will soon be much more readily available from many skincare brands and shops. - Throw away your standard make-up brushes – circular brushes will be EVERYWHERE!
You might’ve spotted them already, but the new circular brushes are set to be the next big thing when it comes to make-up application – perhaps even knocking the beauty blender off the top spot. But why are we so excited about them? Well, the gorgeous design actually allows you to both distribute your make-up more uniformly and apply powder much more easily. We can’t wait to try them!
