‘Skinimalism’, filler ‘tweakments’, and lip blushing are among some of the beauty trends predicted to be popular for winter 2021 and spring 2022 weddings, new research has revealed.
The research, conducted by independent digital insurance broker PolicyBee, analyzed search volume data for 125 beauty trends to decipher which were currently the ‘most popular’ or emerging in the UK, before asking industry experts to predict how these might translate into the wedding industry for winter 2021 and spring 2022.
“Strict pandemic rules caused major disruption to the wedding industry over what was a long 16 months. But with the recent easing of restrictions, uncapped capacity weddings are back in full swing!" says Kerri-Ann Hockley, head of customer service at PolicyBee.

And we backed it up by asking a panel of industry experts to predict how these might translate into the wedding industry for winter 2021 and spring 2022. So, whether you’re a bride-to-be after the hottest new look, or you’re a beauty practitioner searching for the next big wedding trends to offer your clients, this research should provide you with some ideas and inspiration."

“If you’re a practitioner, bear in mind that even if you’re confident you have all the skills you need to deliver a great look, things don’t always go according to plan," Hockley says. "Mistakes and accidents are a fact of life and can be both expensive to fix and damaging to your hard-earned reputation. So, before jumping in with a new look or service, make sure to do proper research first and get the necessary training. It's also a good idea to protect yourself and your business with treatment and professional liability insurance, in case things go unexpectedly wrong.”
