16 Spring/Summer 2022 Beauty Trends That Spark Joy

We don't know about you, but we're getting more and more excited about the thought of putting on a full face of makeup again! After almost two years of barely there looks (a.k.a. focusing on our skin and nothing much more), our appetites for color, texture, and pure fun has surely grown! As the world gradually opens up and goes back to regular programming, our beauty routines will start to get a reboot too—injecting a little more eyeshadow, applying a little more eyeliner, being a little more playful with lip and hair texture, you get the idea. 

While we've gotten comfortable with the idea of barely there beauty and flaunting your best skin, we can't deny the power of a really good makeup look. It has the ability to boost our moods, and it has the ability to allow us to express how we really feel! If you ask us how we'd like to feel, then we're definitely going for an extra serving of joy! Yes, healthy, glowing skin will always be on-trend, but this time around, we're inviting a little more fun into our faces.
