Kent’s Zara Rose talks us through what to expect this year

With more than 25 years experience in the hair and make-up industry, Kent-based wedding specialist Zara Rose (@hairandmakeupbyzara) has seen many changes in what brides wish for and require on their special day.

We met with Zara and she shared her thoughts on what 2023 brings and the comparisons with more traditional make-up methods.

She tells us the beauty world is gearing up for a fresh new start with exciting make-up trends that are set to take centre stage. From bold and bright colours to subtle and natural looks, 2023 has something for everyone. Here are her top five make-up trends that are set to dominate the scene in 2023.

1. Cool-toned eyeshadows

One of the biggest trends that we will see in 2023 is the use of cool-toned eyeshadows. These will become the new go-to neutral in 2023, like dusty gold, blush pinks, and smokey greys. The soft and hazy of colour bring out colours of eye and give you an enchanted look, especially when you pair it with a winged-out pencil eyeliner for a smudgy effect.

2. Dewy Skin

Gone are the days of heavy matte foundations and powders. In 2023, the focus is on natural, dewy skin. The key to achieving this look is to use a lightweight foundation that allows your skin to breathe. Add a touch of highlighter to the high points of your face to give your skin a natural glow. This trend is all about embracing your natural beauty and enhancing it with a few subtle touches.

3. Statement Lips

Bold lips are making a comeback in 2023. From classic reds to bold oranges and purples, the focus is on making a statement with your lips. The key is to keep the rest of your make-up minimal and let your lips be the star of the show. You can also experiment with different finishes, such as matte or glossy, to create a look that suits your style.

4. Longer and Sharper Cat-Eye Wings

Kittenish flicks and TikTok’s alluring and elongating siren eyes will gain in popularity (and ease) with the help of an upgraded guard of liners. So many brands developing high-technology eyeliners that do not budge and are smudge-proof, focusing on pulling the eye shape upward and outward. This trend is perfect for those who love to experiment with their make-up and want to create a statement look.

5. Natural Brows

Gone are the days of over-plucked and overdrawn brows. In 2023, the focus is on natural brows that enhance your facial features. The key is to use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas and create a natural-looking shape. This trend is all about embracing your natural beauty and enhancing it with a few subtle touches.

In conclusion, Zara believes 2023 is set to be an exciting year for make-up trends. From bold and bright colours to subtle and natural looks, there is something for everyone. The key is to experiment with different trends and find a look that suits your style. So, go ahead and embrace the trends of 2023 and make a statement with your make-up.
