The July 2016 makeup trends reveal that while there is a strong emphasis on keeping skin healthy and natural looking, there is a continued demand for products that allow for experimentation and self-expression.
When it comes to keeping skin healthy, many people agree that sunscreen is paramount. As a result, many cosmetics companies have begun adding sunscreen to everyday beauty products. These sunscreen-infused products include everything from mineral foundation in a wide variety of shades to tinted lipsticks with built-in SPF protection.
However, the rise of online beauty tutorials has also created a culture of experimentation around makeup, meaning there is a high demand for products that help women show off their personality. As the July 2016 makeup trends demonstrate, consumers are not afraid to experiment with kaleidoscope-colored lipsticks, angular eyeliner or even peel-off brow gels.
