For spring/summer 2021, nostalgic makeup, ’90s liner, and vibrant colours were Fashion Week’s biggest highlights. And although most of the events were either virtual or sparsely attended IRL due to social distancing, designers and their MUAs upped their beauty A-game to make sure even the most subtle of winged liner could be seen over Zoom.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration to incorporate into your everyday makeup routine or in need of a dramatic change, 2021’s biggest trends will be sure to fulfill your needs.
