It’s no news that we’re unabashedly bringing back beauty trends from the 90s and 80s. Every day there’s one vintage resurrection taking place either in the fashion or the beauty industry. But if the trends include something as glam as lip gloss, we’re definitely not complaining. While we’re pretty sure that your makeup stash must be brimming with glosses since they were brought back from the dead in 2020, this is your sign to invest in some with a hint of glitter in them. Take your gloss glam to the next level with juicy and glitter lip glosses.

4. Saying EYE Do to Experiments

While we love our edgy graphic eyeliners, this time we call upon our trusty smoky eyes. Whether you’re more of a soft-smoke girl or a full-smoke diva, there’s something in store for everyone. A smokey eye can do wonders for any festive makeup look, but if you’re a makeup minimalist, you can go for a subtle eyeshadow eyeliner to achieve that sultry eye makeup look.

5. Blush Bae
