This Minimalist Makeup Trend Is Blowing Up Instagram

Prepping a full face of makeup can become a major hassle when you only have so many hours in a day. If you’re anything like us, you’ll welcome any makeup trend that will not only make you look #flawless, but also won’t take up much time. This year, it looks like the bare lids and bold lips trend will be your go-to hack for an impactful look that doesn’t take all morning. This no-makeup makeup on the eyes will give you fresh-faced vibes without packing on the product. Plus, you can still make a bold statement via that über fierce lip. Get inspired by these 10 Instababes wearing your new favorite makeup trend.


’90s Beauty

Rustic Dreamer

Violet Dreams

Business Chic

Preppy Chic

Get all dolled up like this blogger in a bow and a bright red lip. Curl your ends (and don’t forget the mascara!) for a sweet-yet-sultry take on the trend. (via @seaofshoes)

Matte Magic

Boho Goddess

Edge Appeal

Glowy Disposition
