#1 BB and CC Creams 

BB (Beauty Balm) creams were one of the major beauty products of 2012 and the buzz about CC creams came later on, causing a major ruckus in the industry. In 2013, BB creams will continue their reign but CC (Colour Correction) creams are poised to become the next big thing. With heavier coverage and a focus on evening the colour in your skintone, it's easy to see why. This year, also look for new BB and CC product additions like concealers and powders.

#2 DIY Manicures
 
DIY nail art isn't anything new (we've seen everything from feathers to caviar), but this year we're seeing even more at home options for manicures. With kits and ready to go mani-in-a-bottle polishes, manis you used to only get in the salon are now accessible to everyone.

#3 Anti-Aging: Focus on Brightening 
 
Dark spots have have always been an issue when aging. But (and excuse the pun), they have only recently really come into the light. This year, the fight against aging will focus on brightening and creating a more even skin tone. The goal is to look fresh and supple with the skin looking illuminated. There's definitely a move towards specific and new anti-aging ingredients, too. Look for retinols, vitamin C, glycolic acid and metals (copper and gold) in 2013.

#4 The Matte Fuchsia Lip 

Fuchsia is the new red! Ditch a bold and heavy red lip in exchange for a brighter and chicer pink hue. The look is still attention grabbing but far more modern. Keeping with the theme of a new take on red, this year's lip is matte, never glossy. 
 

1. Sephora Collection Rouge Cream Lipstick (C$16.00)

2. Nyx Matte Lipstick (C$9.00) 
 
3. Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (C$30.00)

5. Dolce and Gabana Monica Voluptuous Lipstick (C$32.00)

#5 Velvet Skin 

Minimalism is in full force with simple, flawless skin. Instead of a dewy complexion, look for mattifying products to keep shine free. You want to look glowing, but not shiny. Keep the rest of your face natural with little eye makeup and thicker, less groomed brows. Use blush sparingly, for a light rosy tint.

#6 Liner and Lashes 

I feel like we've been playing around with colour so much lately, we haven't really taken a minute to try out a basic liner and lash combo. This year, liner and big lashes are making a statement. We'll see a lot of kohl lining and subtle smokiness. There is also a new appreciation for the lower lash line.
