With Rita Ora, Kylie Jenner and Kat Graham, showing shorter shapes on social media and magazine covers, the bob is back. We get it, the idea of “chopping it off” is daunting, don’t fear what you don’t know. The bob is also a versatile, low maintenance hair style that can elevate your look. A bob can go from chic to shaggy, with or without fringe, sleek to curly…there is a bob for everyone. If you have skinny or robust, straight or textured hair, if you want balayage, vivid or solid color, considering curtain, short or no bangs…it’s time to talk about your bob.

2021 designers (from Alexander McQueen to Gucci) are showing of strength and elegance in their shape and color. This translates to hair in the bob. From lived in blonds to decadent darks this shape supports all color pallets.

As we talk color, let’s talk face…

With face masks becoming a safety and fashion statement, trends are shifting to a strong focus on the eyes: matte shadows, bold liner, full brows and voluminous lashes will be seen everywhere this year. The 90s are back with their trendy pops of color in liner and lashes. Although, full coverage foundation will always be around, the pendulum has swung to soft, dewy, natural skin (that looks fab on a zoom call). Lip stains have never been more important given the amount of transfer lipstick and glosses leave on the masks. It appears that deeper berry colors will be hot.

Pro tip: Dap a dash onto your brush in the stain and apply directly to the middle of the lip then feather out for a soft finish.
