Read on to see the best and $4

Bold eyeshadow can perfectly complement a face mask

$4, executive director of the $4 in New York City, told Insider that bright and bold eyeshadows are one of her favorite makeup trends of the year.

"Thanks to mask wearing in 2020, the spotlight has been placed on the eyes," said Bloch. "Beauty lovers of all ages and styles are embracing bolder colors on their eyelids and I love it."

If you're hesitant about sporting bright eyeshadow, try sweeping a deeper, saturated hue across your lids such as burgundy, emerald green, or navy blue.

Bakuchiol is a rising anti-aging star

Retinol has dominated the anti-aging scene for years, but bakuchiol - a plant-based retinol alternative - has $4

"Bakuchiol is gentler than retinol and helps to even skin complexion," said Bloch. "Plus it's safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding, while retinol $4."

The bakuchiol used in cosmetics is usually extracted from parts of the $4 and $4 to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Makeup as skin care is an enduring beauty trend

Emmy-nominated makeup artist $4 told Insider that she approves of next-generation makeup that doubles as skin care.

"I'm 100% behind makeup products that $4," said Jackson. "I love the idea of healing skin with products used to decorate it."

Products that straddle the line between makeup and skin care include BB and CC creams, sheer lip balms with a hint of color, and primers with moisturizing properties.

Barely-there makeup continues to be popular

Minimal makeup looks have been popular for a while, and celebrity makeup artist $4 told Insider that she doesn't see this trend slowing down.

"I love the look of $4," she said. "People seem to be more interested than ever in achieving a bare-faced makeup style."

Greenberg recommended using a damp makeup sponge to apply liquid foundation $4

Dermatologists have been loving products designed to protect against pollution

Dermatologist $4 told Insider that she's on board with new skin-care products designed to shield skin from harmful pollution, which $4 to allergic reactions, acne, and even skin cancer.

"More products are being formulated to protect the skin from pollution, which may lead to free radical damage and negative skin changes," said Garshick.

Applying natural-looking blush is back in style

Greenberg told Insider that dramatic contouring took a backseat to a more natural blush application this year.

"Natural glow on the cheeks came back in a major way in 2020. Less is definitely more when it comes to blush," she said.

Choosing a buildable, blendable blush color that closely matches the color of your naturally flushed skin is key to achieving a subtle rosy glow.

Niacinamide is a trending skin-care ingredient that's likely to stick around

There's been a lot of beauty buzz around $4, a form of vitamin B3 with the potential to soothe skin, hydrate it, and make it look more even.

"Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, reducing inflammation and redness caused by acne and rosacea," said Garshick.

On the other hand, lash extensions can damage your natural lashes

Dermatologist $4, advisor for Smart Style Today, told Insider that she's ready for the lash-extension trend to fade away.

"Lash extensions are my least favorite beauty trend of 2020," said Chacon. "They're so high-maintenance and can weaken your natural lashes over time."

Getting extensions can also come with some $4, like swelling or allergic reactions to the glue.

If you're longing for lusher lashes, an ophthalmologist-approved mascara or lash regrowth serum can help you achieve a similar look with less fuss.

Floating eyeliner can be hard to pull off

The floating eyeliner trend involves $4 above the natural lash line on the upper eyelid.

The technique popped up on beauty blogs and catwalks in 2020, but Jackson dismissed the avant-garde look as difficult to wear.

"Unless you're on a runway, you shouldn't attempt to wear a line halfway up your eyelid," said Jackson. "It usually ends up looking like your eyeliner transferred upwards because you opened your eyes before the product was dry."

Even biodegradable glitter can be bad for the environment

Some beauty fans may already know that conventional glitter and glittery makeup products $4, but Boch noted that even glitter marketed as "eco-friendly" can be bad for the planet.

"New reports show that even biodegradable glitter ends up in rivers and oceans," said Bloch.

$4 published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials suggests that biodegradable glitter can also cause damage in aquatic ecosystems.

Eyeball tattoos are a potentially dangerous beauty trend

This eyeball modification, also known as a scleral tattoo, involves applying ink directly to the white of the eye. The trend made headlines throughout 2020 for causing $4 and getting $4 in some parts of the world.

"These kinds of eye tattoos can potentially result in blindness or long-term damage to the eye," said Bloch.

According to the $4, scleral tattoos can cause a temporary or permanent decrease in vision, retinal detachment, infection, light sensitivity, and a persistent feeling that something is in the eye.

In extreme cases, botched scleral tattoos can lead to the $4

Japanese hard gel nails can be difficult to remove

Japanese hard gel manicures utilize $4 to create vivid designs that can last longer than other manicure types.

Unfortunately, Chacon said, this kind of gel treatment can be tough to properly maintain, especially if you want to try it at home and don't have access to a pro.

"It's very difficult to remove $4, and there are extremely few salons equipped to do it correctly," said Chacon.

At-home pimple extractions may damage the skin

Garshick told Insider that attempting dermatological treatments on your own $4.

"The occasional facial can be $4, but it's best not to pop your own pimples or pick at your skin," said Garshick.
