SKIN
Bakuchiol
Can’t use retinol? Bakuchiol has got you covered!
Bakuchiol (pronounced “back-uh-heel”) not only prevents fine lines and wrinkles but also enhances pigmentation and improves firmness. Bakuchiol is a gentler and more natural alternative to retinol that’s ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Witch Hazel
This “old school” product will make a comeback this 2019. Witch Hazel has various antioxidants that help relieve bug bites, stings, and rashes. It also helps with oily skin, puffy eyes, sunburn, acne, and helps minimize pore size. However, it’s recommended that Witch Hazel be used only for a quick fix. Long-term use of the product may cause potential damage to the skin due to its alcohol content.

HAIR
Baby Bangs
Looking for a new hairstyle to try this year? Why not give the baby bangs a try? Also known as cropped bangs or the mini-fringe, this style is known for it’s above the brow cut. This style is versatile and looks great on everyone! It may be quite dramatic, but it’s low maintenance and ideal if you want to get your hair out of your face.
Lilac Locks
Lilac is expected to invade social media feeds this year. This pastel hue is perfect all year-round as it will make the colder seasons brighter and the summer and spring seasons more vibrant. The color is a perfect match for any skin tone and will make anyone stand-out for the right reasons.
Grey Locks
If lilac or pastel is not your cup of tea, then maybe you can embrace the shades of grey. While some might be on the fence about growing out their grey hair, this year might be the year to strut those locks as grey is expected to trend this year. But no matter what color you’re rocking, always remember to take good care of your hair.
NAILS
Almond Shaped Nails
While square and rounded nails are the most common choice when you’re getting that manicure, try asking for almond nails for a change. And no, it’s not one of those weird nail trends—it’s just a nail shape that takes after the shape of an almond nut. But it’s recommended to build a strong base for the shape first as it may take a lot from the foundations of your natural nail.
Powder-dipped Nails
Have you ever experienced chipping your nails just when you need them to be perfect? If yes, then powder-dipped nails might just solve it! Powder dips are the best alternative to traditional polish and gels. Not only are they easy and pain-free to remove, but they also last longer. They are also a lot cheaper compared to getting your nails done professionally as powder dip kits can easily be bought online. These nails last for three to six weeks and you don’t have to worry about them chipping.
MAKE-UP
Glossy Makeup
Thick 90s lip gloss was among the trends that conquered 2018 and this year, glossy make-up is expected to make the headlines. From the eyes down to the lips, the glossy make-up look focuses on highlighting. It’s the complete opposite of the classic matte look and allows you to play with rainbow shades in a subtle way. While you can use your old lipgloss or lip balm to play with looks, there are products that can help you achieve those dewy eyes and lips minus the stickiness.
Bold Lips
Lip tints were all the rage last year, but bold lips are making a comeback this year! Everyone loves a traditional bold lip, from reds to purples to blues, there is a shade perfect for anyone. A splash of color is the best way to enhance a bare-face for a day at the office or a night out with friends. Good news is, there are a number of brands that carry bold lip colors so you’ll never run out of choices! Put on a classic red lipstick or explore other shades and go with some purple or some blues!
Pink Hues
Pink is expected to be a part of 2019’s summer and spring trends. It’s time to bring out those shades of pink as they’ll be a popular shade for eyeshadows, blushes, and lip colors. While pink makes for neutral and sophisticated looks, do experiment with bright pinks and have fun with it this year!
