Here&#8217;s Where to Find Makeup Trends and Inspiration"},"content":{"rendered":"Like most creative industries, makeup artistry is influenced by seasonal trends. One month, your clients might be obsessed with dramatically winged eyeliner and dark, sultry lipstick like they saw their favorite actress wearing on the red carpet. A few months later, they could ask you for the natural look recommended by their favorite beauty vlogger, featuring a light blush and barely any eyeliner at all.\n\nMakeup artists can keep track of popular trends in many different ways. Your clients will be happiest with a look that is unique and attractive, but that also keeps up with the latest craze. Staying on top of new trends, or even predicting what will be popular before it catches on, is essential for success.\n\nUsing the following resources can help you discover which colors, products, styles, and shapes are \u201chot\u201d right now, which ones have become pass\u00e9, and which might be the next big thing!\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/where-to-find-makeup-trends-and-inspiration\/#Online_resources\" >Online resources<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/where-to-find-makeup-trends-and-inspiration\/#Print_resources\" >Print resources<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/where-to-find-makeup-trends-and-inspiration\/#Television_movies_and_media\" >Television, movies, and media<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/where-to-find-makeup-trends-and-inspiration\/#Networking_resources\" >Networking resources<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/where-to-find-makeup-trends-and-inspiration\/#Anywhere\" >Anywhere!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_resources\"><\/span>Online resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34516\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-62.jpg\" alt=\"going online to find makeup artistry creative inspiration\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-62.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-62-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-62-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-62-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nWebsites, blogs, social networks, and online \u201cpin boards\u201d are convenient for tracking trends in makeup. You can access these electronic resources anywhere that you have a wireless or data connection and a smart phone, tablet, or computer.\n\nMost online resources have subscription or notification settings, letting you track posts related to specific trends. Have you noticed a particular style of highlighting rising in popularity? You can track how often posts about that technique are made. You can also use hashtags to search particular makeup techniques and see which ones are \u2018in\u2019 right now for inspiration.\n\nThe ideas you gather online are accessible at almost any time to show your client or refer to while you work. Check out these online resources and think about how they might be useful for makeup artists who want to stay ahead of trends.\n<h3>Pinterest<\/h3>\nOnline \u201cpin boards\u201d like Pinterest are useful for seeking inspiration, organizing your ideas in one place, and keeping track of trends. Search categories let you look at which looks are posted about most often, giving you an idea of what\u2019s in style. Picture browsing and links let you see examples of other artists\u2019 looks to get inspiration or avoid trends that are over done.\n\nPinterest allows you to save pictures and information into categories by saving websites that you find into a specific \u201cboard,\u201d Remember, however, that Pinterest itself is quite trendy, so some of the ideas there are recycled and have been done many times.\n\nCheck out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/CHICSTUDIOS\/metallic-maven\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this pin board<\/a> of metallic-inspired avant garde looks by Chic Studios School of Makeup to see how useful Pinterest can be! Would you rather find unique ideas for eye makeup? Take a look at Ipsy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/ipsy\/eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cEyes\u201d board<\/a> instead. Try your own Pinterest searches and see what you can find.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-64.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-64.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-64-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-64-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-64-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\n<h3>Blogs and Vlogs<\/h3>\n\nThere are hundreds of makeup artistry blogs and vlogs, many of which are well respected. Reading a reputable blog can help you track which trends other makeup artists have tried, liked, and disliked. Watching a vlog about those trends lets you see the technique and gives you insight into who your clients might be getting ideas from.\n\nPay attention to which things are posted about often, which things are rarely posted about, and what seems to be making its way into popularity. While you\u2019re searching blogs and vlogs, however, be sure to verify the information in each post. Remember that anyone can write a blog or start a YouTube channel, whether they\u2019re a professional or not.\n\nDo a search for beauty blogs and makeup vloggers to see how many different resources are at your finger tips. While you\u2019re at it, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/beautybanter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beauty Bante<\/a>r and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL7A1D4D4D1168803D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gigi Gorgeous<\/a> to see how beauty bloggers and makeup vloggers can differ greatly but still give you a good idea of what\u2019s trending.\n\n<h3 class=\"half-2\">Online Magazines<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-65.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-65.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-65-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-65-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-65-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\nOnline makeup magazines are accessible from all over the world. You might find a neat new trend that is popular in the UK but hasn\u2019t caught on yet in North America. Many reputable makeup magazines have online issues that can be accessed from anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that online magazine subscriptions often cost money.\n\nTake a look at the online content posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/makeupmag.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Make-Up Artist Magazine<\/a>. You can already see how a subscription to their full electronic issues can help you track trends in an accessible way.\n<h3>Facebook groups and makeup artists\u2019 forums<\/h3>\nSocial networking groups and forums can be extremely useful for seeking feedback from and exchanging ideas with other makeup artists. You might consider trying a trendy new liquid lipstick on your next client but then see a post on a forum where another professional recommends against it. Because social networks are interactive, you can engage with that person to learn why their experience was negative and make an informed decision. You might also seek advice and support about staying inspired and keeping ahead of trends, or provide support to other artists.\n\nCheck out the forums available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelmayhem.com\/forums\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Model Mayhem<\/a>. You can network with makeup artists through this website, but you\u2019ll have access to discussions with other industry-related professional like models, hair stylists, and photographers as well.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Print_resources\"><\/span>Print resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\nJust because the Internet is a goldmine for makeup artistry resources doesn\u2019t mean that print materials are useless to you! Fashion magazines can give you a great idea of which makeup styles are most fashionable on the runways and red carpets right now. Looking through these shows you track which trends other makeup artists are following. You can then assess what your clients might like based on how their style icons and favorite celebrities look. You\u2019ll also learn what you can do to keep your looks unique. Printed magazines are available on an international scale, but they cost money to subscribe to and order.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-63.jpg\" alt=\"stack of magazine and print materials for fashion styling and makeup artistry inspiration\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-63.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-63-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-63-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-63-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Television_movies_and_media\"><\/span>Television, movies, and media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhich makeup styles do you see actresses, news anchors, talk show hosts, and reality TV stars wearing? Which popular faces do you think your clients are most likely to admire? Keeping up with the way public figures have their makeup done will help keep you on trend. Watching TV and seeing new movies will also show you which of the up-and-coming makeup styles you found online have made it into mainstream trendiness and which ones still have you a step ahead of the game.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Networking_resources\"><\/span>Networking resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nNetworking with other beauty professionals offline, rather than exclusively on the Internet, can give you an even better idea of which makeup techniques are trendy and which ones you should let go of.\n<h3>Workshops and conferences<\/h3>\nAttending workshops and conferences gives you amazing networking opportunities. You\u2019ll interact with other professionals and gain insight into where they seek their inspiration and how they deal with rapidly changing trends. Workshops and conferences are a chance to learn and improve your skills.\n<h3>Tradeshows<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2014\/10\/trade-shows-get-rock\/\">Tradeshows<\/a> are an opportunity to network with beauty professionals and product vendors from your area, or from around the world if the show is very large. You can browse the different products and services being offered to gather new ideas and get a feel for which colors, products, and techniques are \u201cin style.\u201d If you are the only makeup artist from your area who attends a tradeshow, you might even be the first person around to try something new!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-66.jpg\" alt=\"makeup palette inspiration\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-66.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-66-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-66-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-66-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anywhere\"><\/span>Anywhere!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIf you keep an open mind about where makeup inspiration can come from, you\u2019ll find it just about anywhere.
