3. Fresh Glow
Picture that soft glow you get when you're basking in the sun during golden hour. "This type of glow comes more from good skincare, rather than layers of highlighter," explains Denno.

7. Blinged Out Nails
In case you haven't picked up on this already, maximalism is very much having a moment right now. And it makes sense, given the deluge of doom and gloom we've collectively experienced over the past couple of years. Not too keen on bedazzling your face? You could try blinging out your nails instead.
