1. Nude Makeup

In 2019, most people ditched the bold and heavy makeup for a nude look and it worked, bringing out the sex appeal in every woman in an equable way. From nude lips to nude eye-shadows, nude make-up is the most versatile look that compliments every skin colour. Most of our celebrities and fashionistas rocked this look this year.

2. Ponytail

Spotted on runways, fashion shows, movie premiere and other events, ponytail hairstyle made a comeback from the 90s. It comes off as a go-to hairstyle when we run out of hair ideas.

Bangs are strands or locks of hair that falls over the scalp's front hairline to cover the forehead, usually just above the eyebrows, though sometimes they can even cover the eyes. The hairstyle returned to the beauty scene in the middle of the year along with ponytail hairstyles. Most celebrities rocked the bangs with a ponytail and it was simply beautiful.

5. Winged Eyeliner
