Remember when unicorns were a thing? Ok, they still are. But for a bit there it felt wherever I turned I was seeing unicorns and unicorn beauty and unicorn hair. The same thing happened with beards. They went from being something a bloke might grow out for a change, or something they always had as they enjoyed the look, to something that men obsessed over, growing them right out lumberjack style, dying them, adding baubles… Well lately, it appears the beauty world has gone truly gaga for rainbows. Instagram, Pinterest, beauty websites, they’re all awash with brilliant colours. So what rainbow trends are hot or have been hot and continue to be so? Check these out…
The Prism Illuminating Rainbow Highlighter from Bitter Lace Beauty has been causing quite the stir lately. With its gorgeous multicolour hues it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen before – and apparently the world needed an illuminator like this because it’s sold out. It’s like a little bit of magic in a palette. (You can make your own like our gorgeous member Koni did - find out how, here!)
Love the look of freckles? Take it to the next level with rainbow freckles! Dot your favourite colours over your nose and cheeks for a fresh and fun take on fake freckles.
It’s not just the cheeks that are getting the rainbow treatment, the eyes are too with rainbow lashes becoming more and more mainstream. You can create the look yourself by using different coloured mascaras or pick up a pair of falsies. The result? Lashes worth batting!
If wielding multiple mascaras or attempting to apply falsies leaves you a little nervous, you can always recreate a rainbow on and around your lids. How fab is this look from dolledupbyrae?
Of course what would a rainbow beauty trend be if it didn’t extend to the hair. Check out this gorgeous look from lysseon (https://www.instagram.com/lysseon/) . To be honest, I kind of feel like rainbow hair and unicorn hair are interchangeable – but pffft, they look fab and could be called unibow hair for all I care.
So are you a fan of rainbow beauty? Have you given any of these looks a try? Post your pictures on the Photo Wall and you may find some points sprinkled into your account – kind of like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
I haven't done rainbow make-up, only rainbow nail art and I posted the pics on the photo wall a while back, so they probably don't qualify for this.
