2017 brings a whole new world of beauty trends, revivals and makeup products that will take centre stage on red carpets, social feeds and of course, our vanity tables.

These new it-trends are a tale of two extremes. While there is subtle artistry to contouring on one side, there is tonnes of glitter on the other. So be an early adopter and continue reading to find out the holy grail beauty trends for 2017.

1. Glossy Lids

Anything with the word glossy deserves immediate attention. The glossy look was the show runner in major fashion shoots and it’s time to add some subtle lustre IRL.
Tip : Just maintain the line between a chic glossy lid and a sticky look.

2. Chrome Nails

If you have a thing for bling then ignore the predictions, 2017 belongs to you. Intricate nail arts have taken a backseat giving way to classier chromatic nails. You can choose your pick from various styles that have already been declared the hottest trends for the year. Diamond nails, stud nails, shattered glass trend - the list is endless.

3. Glitter Lips

Do your lips a favour and take a break from those ultra-matte long lasting lips colours you’ve been so obsessed with. This year, it’s all about going full sha-bang with glittering lips.

4. Micro-blading

Semi-permanent makeup was a big deal in 2016 but the only one worth trying is micro-blading. It’s perfect for those who want to fully reconstruct, define, cover gaps or fill-in over plucked brows.

5. RRL - Relaxed Red Lips

Whoever tells you red lips are out of fashion doesn’t really like you. Gigi Hadid rocked this classic look and it’s bound to make a comeback!

6. Pin Straight XL Hair /Cher Hair

Forget complex hairstyles, waves and braids, 2017 bring back the ultra-long pin straight hair trend back in the game. From Kim Kardashian's waist grazing length to Beyoncé’s silky straight ponytail – it’s time to get those straighteners out.

7. Draping

We know you’ve just mastered the art but it’s time to put those harsh contour products down and embrace sculpted glow by infusing two blush shades: one to sculpt, the other to infuse colour. The technique is called draping and it’s all the rage nowadays.

8. Braided Knots

It’s about time to upgrade the top knot trend with some twists and braids. These absolutely Pinterest-worthy braided knots are tough to achieve but look super classy for formal events.

9. Graphic Eyeliners

Take your cat eye a notch above and dare to experiment with different edgy graphic eyeliner trends that rocked the runways in 2016. If you’re hesitant, take inspiration from the younger Hadid.

10. Under Eye Makeup

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to keep it light under the eyes. As long as you can pull it off, go heavy under the eyes to create a super chic look. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Munn and Jenna Dewa Tatum are rocking the sultry trend and you shouldn't hold back!
