6 Hair and Makeup Statement Looks for 2013

A bold red lip and ombré hair color were huge last year. What's poised to become the hottest trend for 2013?

Flawless, contoured skin

OK, so flawless skin never really goes out of style, but Del Castillo says this year the trend is to focus on highlighting and contouring your features. "Add light to your face, don't use bronzer only, but add highlight to your cheekbones, under your brows, and at your temples," he says. "You want a nice, satiny look to your skin, not shiny."

Del Castillo suggests using cream or powder highlighters along with your usual bronzer and blush. And spend a little extra time perfecting your complexion with foundation and concealer. "If I see glowing, gorgeous skin, that's really striking to me," Del Castillo says. "I really look at it, all the highlights and contours, and I'll automatically give that woman a compliment on her skin -- even if it could be just makeup smoke and mirrors."

I want to see more of the lavender lips...and I am SO over the bangs fad. I think that if your name is not Zoey Deschanel, stay FAR away from straight cut bangs, because she is pretty much the only human being alive who can pull them off properly.

Not really interested in many of these styles. Though, I liked the red hair. And I wish I could get a more contoured look.

Fun, fresh list! I already have red hair, but I have been dying to play with the color a little. Lighter shades don't work with my coloring, but I may try some highlights or go with a darker auburn shade (yes, for spring--who cares?).

Not so much on any of the looks described here, except flawless skin. Too bad there were no product suggestions.

I'm inspired to work on the flawless, contoured skin. And I'm tempted to try lavender lipstick...

I'm gonna try lavender lips!

The lavender lips is almost as bad as the orange ones. I am really into the bold eyeshadows and think contouring is a must, not really a trend.

Not fond of lavender lips but I love red hair. The flawless skin tips this year have helped in making me appear younger.

I love the updated Veronica Lake, very classy. Bold colors are always amazing but soft colors can make statements as well.

Great info!

whoever worked on jlo's face didn't mix the bronzer well enough...her forehead is tanned, and the rest of her face is much whiter and shinier...and a darker lipstick (red) would have looked better with her "dress"

Lavender lips? Possibly, but it depends on skintone and the undertone of the lavender itself. It can appear garish rather than trendy. Polished bangs are an easy way to change your hairstyle with little trouble. I like bold eyeshadow, but the color shown is not something I'd wear.

Love the hairstyles. Flawless skin is always in style. I'd love to try bangs maybe this is the year.

Ew, Lavender lips is the only thing i can say i HATE on this lips. For me it's a huge no no and it will make me look like an ompah lompa so yeah, I don't even like the color on other people, But if they like it i guess... Besides that little thing i absolutely love everything on this list - Especially the red hair, I love red hair lol

some of those looks are wild

by LittleBunny Monday, February 11, 2013 at 11:14AM Report as inappropriate

I am definitely going to rock the lavender lips trend, the key to not looking crazy is to pair it up with warm lip-liner like MAC's "Spice" or "Hodgepodge" and blend, blend, blend! :)

Bangs make me look younger than I am, not good for me being that I keep getting confused as an 18 yr old. flattered but annoying

Those lavender lips are horrifying.

i dont think i'll be trying lavender lips.

by nicky22 Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 10:47AM Report as inappropriate

I'd skip lavander lips, it's more of a dead-person look. Bold eyeshadows can be ok, but not so much for every day wear. I love the polished skin trend, bangs can be cool too. Red hair color is great but not for everyone.

I actually really like the bold eyeshadow.

by Chris213 Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 07:35PM Report as inappropriate

Pretty looks, but nothing we haven't been seeing a recreating in the past few years.

by HeathRene Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 11:55AM Report as inappropriate

The bangs are nice.
