We are completely certain that Lizzo is the queen of dramatic makeup looks. She’s taught us how to rock blue mascara and eye makeup this year alone, as well as how to tint your brows purple and pink. However, we assure you that’s just a tiny portion of the looks the singer has given this year.

It seems that the singer has now reversed course and embraced the “no makeup makeup look” rather than her signature daring and avant-garde styles. On December 29, the singer posted four pictures in an Instagram carousel featuring her stripped-down sound.

Alexx Mayo, Lizzo’s go-to makeup artist, created her natural makeup look. Mayo chose delicate, glossy lips, gently curled eyelashes, and a faint shine on the cheeks.

The singer’s June 2021 bleached eyebrows were also visible. It appears that Lizzo brought back the pictures of this look to take a trip down memory lane, as many of us are doing in front of the new year. Mayo said in the caption of his Instagram post of the ensemble that this beat was really done back in Lizzo’s “light brow era.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has mostly caused bold, colorful makeup looks to fade this year (and in 2020), but Lizzo’s style is a great illustration of what we might expect to see more of in the future. The majority of people are now hankering after “an antithesis to layered and powder-heavy Instaglam makeup,” according to makeup artist Tommy Napoli, who recently spoke with Allure. For this reason, natural-looking makeup looks are predicted to be popular in the upcoming months and beyond. Lizzo seldom seems to wear makeup that emphasizes natural beauty, but she still looks stunning.
