Makeup trends everyone ditched in 2019

Makeup trends seem to be evolving faster than ever before. At the outset of 2019, celebrity makeup artists Elie Maalouf, Adam Breuchaud, Amy Strozzi, Kindra Mann, and the one-and-only Sir John — Beyoncé’s Makeup Artist — predicted some of the hottest trends of the year. And they weren’t wrong. Just as the experts expected, neon eyeshadow, glowing skin, monochromatic makeup, and even glitter made their way into the mainstream. Despite their early popularity, though, many of the new styles were already trending out by the summer months. That’s not to say you should give up your favorite makeup just because they’re “out,” though.

As Breuchaud told Marie Claire: “Trends are fun, but the best makeup always is a result of genuine and confident self-expression.” He continued, saying, “Don’t be afraid to take a risk, try something new, and BE YOURSELF!” Still, you probably can’t help but wonder what trends were unable to go the distance, right? According to makeup gurus, here are the top looks everyone started ditching in 2019. 

Say bye-bye to Insta brows in 2019, it’s soon a makeup trend of the past

Instagram brows are officially dead, confirmed nearly every makeup artist and expert The List interviewed. Rick DiCecca, creative director of makeup design for Artistry by Amway, revealed, “The days of using 15 steps to make your brows look perfect have ended — we don’t have time for that.” Instead, he said people are focusing on “embracing our true selves.” Professional makeup artist Bryan Cantor agrees that ain’t nobody got time for Insta brows anymore. “No one wants to spend ten minutes with five or six products just to put on their brows,” he explained. Preach.

Of course, a trend as big as Insta brows can’t go away without another one swooping in to take its place. “The trend is moving to fluffier, more natural-looking ‘Virgin Brows’ that require far fewer products and steps to create,” Cantor told The List. Likewise, Ally Seago, makeup artist and founder of Ally Things Beauty recommends a full and neatly groomed eyebrow. This is much easier to pull off than the Insta brow, considering you’ll only have to commit to “using powder to fill in sparse areas and a tinted brow gel to add volume and definition,” according to Seago.

Forget about the full-coverage foundation makeup trend

Apparently full-coverage foundations’ days are numbered. Krystal B. Armstrong, a professional makeup artist in New Orleans, Louisiana, said we can say goodbye to matte and heavy foundations — and the “dry faces” that come with them. Replacing the thick makeup trend is a light, dewy look. “Glass skin, natural skin, luminous skin — it all says hydration and does not say matte,” the expert told The List.

California-based makeup artist Mandie Brice said people have especially given up their “matte, full-cover foundation” during the hot summer months. “People are embracing more of a ‘glowing from within’ look with effortlessly perfect skin (thanks to a good skincare routine) showcased with tinted moisturizer or a BB or CC cream and a nice highlight.”

Armstrong explained that CC cream allows “the skin to breathe.” If you’re not ready to take the leap from full coverage to barely-there coverage, however, it is possible to get the dewy skin look with a heavier foundation. Armstrong recommended trying “a skin-like medium coverage foundation with a hint of facial oil.” This combo will probably still feel lighter than you’re used to, but it’s a great middle-of-the-road option.

Stop glowing like a highbeam in 2019 with the overdone highlighter makeup trend

With dewy skin being such a huge trend in 2019, you’d think there’d be no such thing as glowing too much. Nevertheless, overdoing it on the highlighter is a trend we all fell for — and probably now regret. Ally Seago, makeup artist and founder of Ally Things Beauty, admitted that she herself is inclined to overdo the highlighter at times. The best way to use highlighter, though, is to sweep it across “the high points of the cheeks to create a healthy glow that looks authentic,” according to the beauty guru.

“Highlight that is too shiny can make you look like a light bulb,” Carlina Zacaria, a makeup artist in New York City, told Insider. “It’s supposed to be used to create a glow — not high beams. A sheen, smooth texture of highlight is the best and will give you a nice glow that you’re looking for.” Seago told The List that she personally uses Luminous Dewy Skin Mist by Tatcha to get the desired, subtle effect.

Sorry Kylie, overlined lips are out in 2019

“We all want fuller and more luscious looking lips, but you don’t want it to seem like you have an entirely exaggerated mouth,” Gabriel De Santino, beauty guru and owner of Gabriel Cosmetics, told The List. Unfortunately, that’s just what we were doing when we overdrew and overlined our lips. If you were going for a Kendall Jenner or Ariana Grande look, but instead ended up with Miranda Sings’ signature pout, well, we feel you. Thankfully, though, there’s another way to get fuller-looking lips that doesn’t call for extending your lip liner past your lips.

De Santino recommended “dabbing some gloss in the center of your lips” or “lining them with concealer to make the color pop.” You can also make your lips look larger without having to use any makeup at all. By drinking eight glasses of water each day, Healthline revealed that your lips may appear fuller. Exfoliating your lips with a lip scrub can also improve circulation, thus leading to a fuller appearance.
