\u201cClean girl makeup is done. Maxi makeup is back.\u201d<\/h3>\n

I hate headlines like this. Why do we do it? What if I still love clean girl makeup? Does this suddenly mean I\u2019m no longer going to be accepted in society if I prefer a fresh, minimal look?<\/p>\n

Makeup trends don\u2019t need to cancel each other out and honestly, they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bold Beauty Is Back (And I\u2019m Here for It)<\/b><\/h4>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love makeup in\u00a0all<\/i>\u00a0its forms. The fact that colour is making a comeback genuinely excites me. I\u2019m a little bored of every new trend being named after a drink you could order in Costa, but that\u2019s just me. As much as I love a dramatic shift in makeup trends, I also understand that it\u2019s not for everyone.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Makeup as Self-Expression<\/b><\/h4>\n

So yes, bold beauty is back, and I\u2019m riding that train. Makeup is such an easy, powerful way to express creativity and individuality. It can be whatever\u00a0you<\/i>\u00a0want it to be. You can even be a completely different version of yourself from one day to the next.<\/p>\n

I always tell my clients that makeup can be armour something that helps you walk into any situation feeling confident and empowered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clean Girl vs Colour: It\u2019s Not a Competition<\/b><\/h4>\n

Clean girl makeup can feel quite monotone. While that\u2019s absolutely a vibe in its own right, colour is back and you shouldn\u2019t be afraid to use it.<\/p>\n

This is where my philosophy comes in:\u00a0Maxi make up where you can<\/b>. Not because you\u00a0have<\/i>\u00a0to, but because it\u2019s fun, expressive, and unapologetic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your Face Is the Canvas<\/b><\/h4>\n

Think Glaminatrix (my favourite hand-pressed glitters from Australia), NARS, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and of course the royalty of the colourful makeup industry: MAC!<\/p>\n

Go wild with your eyeshadow.<\/p>\n

Turn up the intensity of your blusher.
\nAdd a bold pop of colour to your lips.<\/p>\n

Your face is your canvas\u2026 use it. OTT glamour is back, baby, and I couldn\u2019t be happier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maxi Make Up Where You Can, But Only If You Want To<\/b><\/h4>\n

That said, if minimal, dewy skin with a swipe of lip gloss is your vibe and it\u2019s convenient, easy, and makes you feel good, then you do you. That\u2019s just as valid.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure there are makeup artists panicking at these \u201ctrend shift\u201d headlines because they\u2019ve only just mastered clean girl looks and now feel the tides turning. But the truth is, clean girl vibes will always be there. Just like goth, glam, or grunge, it\u2019s not for all of us, but it all brings inspiration.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the beauty of makeup: nothing ever really disappears. It just evolves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
