As the “frozen” look starts to lose favour, Meghan Markle is set to inspire a much more natural trend for 2018…
Lip fillers and injectables have ruled the beauty world for the past few years, but 2018 could be the year things start to change.
The Kardashians have certainly been a beauty phenomenon, but trends do fade – and (reality) stars burn out.
As the country falls in love with Prince Harry’s gorgeous fiancé Meghan Markle, the desire to capture her natural beauty could have a huge impact on the beauty and cosmetic industry.
A healthy change
Because we’re living longer, feeling younger and becoming more savvy when it comes to our health, we’re starting to realise that the “frozen” look isn’t sustainable in the long term – but achieving a “healthy glow” is the beauty secret that can last a lifetime.
Instead of trying to change their features, in 2018 increasing numbers of beauty lovers are set to try treatments, products and procedures that help them be the best version of themselves.
Rather than making enhancements or modifications to their looks with invasive cosmetic procedures, aesthetic specialists think 2018 will see a big rise in skin rejuvenation procedures and products, with clients searching for a natural look – and the most natural method possible to achieve it.
