We’ve entered a new decade – the roaring 2020s!
What better time to make some changes in your life? Some things in life are out of our hands, but one thing we can always experiment with is our appearance. So if you’ve been feeling like you need some sort of change, why not get a makeover?
Here’s the ultimate 2021 guide through a refreshing makeover.
1. A New Haircolor
With every makeover, the obvious starting point is your hair. Instead of getting a radical new cut you can’t be sure will suit you, we recommend changing up your color.
The haircare industry is always coming up with new dying techniques, and the ombre trend is still going strong, albeit is a more subtle form. The great thing about ombre and balayage is the fact that only the lower part of your hair is dyed, so you don’t have to worry about your roots showing, yet you’ll get a totally new look.
Although going to a salon is a special experience, you can do balayage at home, too. Just be extra careful with the hair bleach!
2. Flawless Brows
Thick eyebrows were definitely the biggest trend of the last decade, and having flawless brows will be a beauty staple in the years to come. However, this trend has forced everyone who’s not blessed with naturally perfect brows to wake up extra early each morning to draw them on.
That’s why so many people have been getting microblading – and loving it! Microblading is a permanent makeup procedure for the brows that will give you the look of naturally thicker brows with perfect arches suited to your features. It’s a great procedure that will boost your confidence, so we definitely advise you to explore more information on microblading and book an appointment. Just make sure to pick an experienced technician.
The best part about microblading is the fact that your look will be improved instantly, but the results will last you for a long time – up to 2 years.
3. Skincare Routine Update
Changing up your skincare is a slippery slope. Our skin has different needs depending on its state and external factors, and those needs change with the seasons. If you notice your skin hasn’t been that great lately, your skincare might be wrong for the season.
So it’s definitely a good idea to make certain changes to your daily skincare in spring and in fall. Once winter is through, you don’t need the heavy-duty moisturizers anymore, so switch to something lighter. Also, you should bring in the everyday spf, because we’re more exposed to sunlight in warm weather.
In the fall, you can go back to a more nourishing moisturizer, but try adding an extra step between cleaning and moisturizing – a serum. Serums are lightweight and they get absorbed quickly, but they’ll do much more for you skin that an extra layer of thick cream can.
4. Lash Lift
We’re over traditional makeup routines and products, and the eyelashes are another part of the face that can now be enhanced without having to reapply makeup every single day. The lash lift treatment is a procedure that can make your lashes look thicker and longer without mascara, and curlier without worrying about poking out your eye with a heated eyelash curler.
A cocktail of chemicals will lift up the lashes, and a quick tinting will pick up on all the thin, invisible baby hairs, so your lashes will look much fuller. The results won’t only draw attention to your eyes in the best possible way and make them look super feminine; you’ll also be able to go mascara-free for about a month.
Unless you want an extra dramatic look – in that case you can add any makeup you want, it won’t affect the results.
5. Refresh Your Wardrobe
Finally, no makeover is complete without rethinking your wardrobe.
However, instead of going through your entire collection and replacing every single piece, we suggest you give your wardrobe a lowkey refreshment by bringing in new accessories. This way, you’ll won’t have to go through the dreaded jeans-shopping day and won’t have to break the bank buying the coolest outfits straight off the runway.
Accessories are affordable pieces that can make a huge statement. You can get some trendy new jewelry, like chunky chains, or invest in a unique scarf made of ethically sourced silk.
Final Tip
A makeover can be a great way to refresh your look and your life, but it should also be a fun, relaxing activity. Plan yourself a makeover weekend, or you can even talk your best friend into getting a makeover and make it a BFF bonding activity.
