Trends 2021: The New Wave

Given a chance, we all want to do 2020 again! Last year can be described as unprecedented, isolating and sad, to say the least. Our beauty routines took a hit too; from cutting our own hair to mastering a subtle makeup look for online meetings, we did it all ourselves! Beauty trends 2020 were soon replaced by at-home skin and hair care routines with DIY face packs and boxed dyes.

And we’ve all had enough! It’s time to enter the new year with 12 months of fresh trends, adjusted well to the norms of the pandemic. And, happily, the year of stringent skincare routines and all those natural DIYs isn’t going to waste—healthy, naturally-glowing and radiant skin will be one of the biggest trends of 2021.

While we have tuned our skincare routine to take care of dull skin (blame the increased screen time) and ‘maskne’ (face masks still are the first frontier in prevention), it’s time to bring out the colour palettes. According to experts, 2021 will bring back retro glam—exaggerated eye looks from the early ’90s and 2000s are going to rule the trend charts. As far as hair trends are concerned, we are rooting for both messy, imperfect hair and structured looks in the upcoming year.
