It’s safe to say no area of life has escaped the clutches of the Covid pandemic - not even our make-up bags. Life as we knew it has changed in so many ways we’ve lost count, but did you know that the way we do our make-up and which products we choose has changed as a direct result of living through this pandemic? Certain make-up products have become one of the more unexpected casualties of lockdown life and actually many of this year’s beauty trends have been born as a result of the way our lives have changed.
The make-up team at Roccabox, the UK-based beauty box subscription, explain why:
“This pandemic has thrown our lives up in the air, there’s no denying that, but it’s also taken our make-up bags and given them a really good shake up too. Having to wear face-masks day in and day out has had an impact on which products we choose and which we’ve decided we really don’t need any more. It’s also changed the way we make up our faces – nobody wants to wear a lip gloss or foundation that just transfers on to their face covering. Playing up our eye area is an obvious shift, when that’s the only area of our face on display, and the closure of beauticians has left us experimenting more with our natural lashes and brows.”
Roccabox names these as the biggest make-up trends to emerge from the Covid pandemic:
DIY eyes
The lockdown closed our beauticians down, so all the LVL's, lash extensions and brow tattoos we relied on pre-COVID now need a DIY replacement. Investing in lengthening thickening lash-defining mascaras is now a must, as is paying that little bit more for products that will enhance our natural lash growth. Revitalash is our go-to - spenny but so worth it. Brow gels with fibres that thicken and darken are essential (Glossier's Boy Brow brushes on the perfect amount of buildable pigment) and individual lash extensions, we like Eylure's version, are our new best friend. They're so good, in fact, we question if we will ever return to our lash technician? Answer – probably, yes!
