The makeup trends of 2019 from Laura Kay, makeup artist

The UK’s most sought after permanent makeup artist, Laura Kay reveals the makeup trends for brides to look out for 2019.

“Permanent makeup has come a long way — it’s no longer blue eyeliner and solid tadpole shaped eyebrows!

Everyone from celebs to Influencers to “everyday folk”, especially brides who don’t want to worry abut their makeup sliding off their face halfway through the day are turning to permanent makeup to achieve a wide range of subtle to sculpted looks. Permanent makeup isn’t going anywhere, and there are more options than ever.”

Powder ombré brows

Many microblading artists also offer powder ombré brows. Instead of individual microbladed hairs, powder ombré brows create a more solid and sculpted effect, mimicking the look of brows filled in with powder or pomade makeup. You can rock this bold look alone or combined with microblading for a fluffier effect.

Lip contour

Our bodies aren’t perfectly symmetrical – for example, most people have one foot that’s larger than the other. If you have asymmetrical lips, a lip contour service might be for you. Using a shade that’s similar to your natural lips, a permanent makeup artist can correct irregular lip lines to make both sides match up.

Stretch mark camouflage

As our bodies grow and change throughout our lives, stretch marks are inevitable. For those who feel self-conscious with theirs, stretch mark camouflage might be an option. Using an ultra-fine needle and a process called micropigmentation, a permanent makeup artist places tiny dots of pigment in the skin to mimic the look of your natural skin colour.
