It’s almost a new year which means new beauty trends! Looking back at 2015, it’s fun to see how the styles changed over the seasons. My personal favorites were black liner to create a great smokey eye or sharp wing, red and berry lipsticks during the Fall and Winter months, and flushed skin that replaced the harsher contouring.
Today I am excited to be sharing a quick and easy makeup tutorial that features one of my favorite trends. This neutral eye and bold lip look can be worn every day of the week! It’s not only easy to do but can easily be transitioned into an even bolder look for night! The best part is that all of the products used in today’s post can be found at your local Walgreens which has a variety of P&G products that are great for creating that everyday look or gorgeous red-carpet glam that is perfect for anytime of the year!
Neutral Eye and Bold Lip instructions:
- Step 1 / Using CoverGirl’s Country Woods palette, dust the lightest shade over the entire lid and up to the brow bone.
- Step 2 / Pick up shade #4 and sweep this over the lid up to the crease.
- Step 3 / Deepen up the crease with shade #2.
- Step 4 / Line the lower lashline with shade #1, smuding it slightly it with your ring finger to blend it.
- Step 5 / Apply several coats of CoverGirl’s Plumpify blastPRO mascara.
- Step 6 / Lastly, add some color to the lips with CoverGirl’s Outlast lipstick in shade #945 Magnetic Mauve.
Not only does Walgreens help you look good by offering these great beauty brands, but you can also feel good about shopping there! Walgreen’s supports efforts like Get a Shot Give a Shot and Vitamin Angels, so when you purchase P&G products at Walgreens you’re helping a company continue to provide vital resources to those in need around the globe!
Looking ahead into 2016, here are 8 of the biggest beauty trends that will be hot in the next year!
- Blue – Statement liner in cobalt shades or a wash of powdery blue eyeshadow across the lids.
- Bold Lips – Whether it’s pink, orange, red, or oxblood, a bold lip paired with a bold brow is always a chic look.
- Glitter – Dust the lids with a loose glitter and coat those nails with a fun, glossy polish.
- Rope Braid – A simple ponytail, divided into two sections, twisted together and tied off with an elastic band.
- French Manicure – From the classic white smile to the angular oxblood tip, this trend is going modern with every shade you can imagine.
- Hair Accessories – A basic headband over tousled waves or jeweled combs in undone updos, accessories are a easy way to make an unfussy hairstyle more glamorous.
- Fringe – Whether it’s straight across bangs or an edgy undercut, let your personality shine through this next year; all it takes is some serious confidence.
- Glossy skin – Skip the powder and use a dewey foundation or go all in applying a light layer of vaseline to the cheekbones and cupid’s bow.

I love that Blue will be a trend in 2016. I love how it looks around the eyes.
one of my favorite beauty trends that came into play even more than normal this year was light purple to plum eyeshadows. I have always worn purples with a pink brow highlighter color and finally it was ‘cool’ lol. And obviously my other favorite beauty trend was the bold lip — but no matte or red for me. I love matte lips on others but it looks awful on me lol.
I like glitter and shine although it drives my boyfriend crazy haha. Oh well. Thanks for the chance!
I like the Rope Braid trend.
Hair accessories! I make them and have been wearing them already!
