WATCH: Fashion and beauty trends that will be huge in 2020

After roughly two years of heightened lifestyle changes ranging from a looming pandemic and supply chain issues to "The Great Resignation" and elevated mental health advocacy, another thing to watch for is the ever-changing set of beauty trends slated to take over in 2022.

While everything from DIY manicures to learning how to cut your own bangs has had a moment, now, a fresh crop of trends is emerging.

Catapulting off the "pandemic break-up hair" that's taken over social media, Pinterest has reported significant increases in searches for hard-to-miss hairstyles, featuring everything from mullets to shaved head dye designs.

Veri Peri-tty

Toward the end of last year, The Pantone Color Institute announced "very peri" as 2022's color of the year.

"As we move into a world of unprecedented change, the selection of PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri brings a novel perspective and vision of the trusted and beloved blue color family, encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time with its violet red undertone, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourage courageous creativity and imaginative expressions," said executive director of The Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman in a statement.

The purple-blue hue can be worn in a variety of makeup and nail looks.

Skin health

During the pandemic, people have been doing a lot of at-home skin self-caring, and are continually searching the best products and practices for optimal skin health.

As search terms such as microbiome and fermented skincare continue to rise on Google Trends, brands have begun creating products that speak to related skin concerns.

Products such as Glow Recipe's Avocado Ceramide Redness Relief Serum are antioxidant-rich, and include ingredients such as naturally derived avocado butter and extract as well as ceramide 5, which work to soothe, nourish and visibly reduce redness by supporting the skin's barrier health.
