After another year of lockdowns, restrictions and often gloomy news, internet users are looking for originality and color, and they’re certainly not averse to breaking with convention. Worldwide, here are a few emerging trends that may shape 2022.

Return of Retro

When it comes to beauty, watch out for eyelids, teeth and even skin to be adorned with jewels in 2022. There is a 100-percent chance there will be an increase in “crystal eye make-up.” Similarly, dental jewelry continues to prove popular. Finally, rhinestone pedicures are emerging as a new trend.

Originality is also on the agenda for nails and hair. Galaxy nail art is on the rise, for example. And hair looks are set to go beyond the ordinary in 2022, with the mullet making a comeback. But naturalness is in the spotlight too, it seems—with short natural hairstyles rising in popularity. In fashion, pearls will be adorning women and men alike. “Pearl wedding decorations” have been a craze, while talk about pearl necklaces for men are up sevenfold worldwide.
