While some beauty trends like luscious lashes and red lips never get old, other beauty-related innovations have their fifteen minutes of fame before we forget about them.

Whether you choose to follow trends or would rather do your own thing, the latest Pinterest 100 edit reveals some pretty enticing new trends across makeup, skincare, hair and nails, that you might want to try going into 2019. New year, new you – right?

The next big thing in hair? Baby fringes. The just-above-the-brow crop is trending, having seen a 51 per cent increase in searches for ‘short fringes’.
