When it came to beauty trends, 2016 was the year of the lob haircut, ombre nails and even double buns.

So, what new trends will 2017 bring?

Michelle Lee, editor-in-chief of Allure magazine, is sharing the hottest hair and makeup trends of the new year. The best part? It only takes a drugstore product or two to achieve most of these looks.

From hot and trendy haircuts to cool, new makeup looks, Lee has tips for trends to rock all throughout 2017.

Bangs

Bobs, lobs and bangs are still in style, but they're getting an update by becoming even more blunt. Think hair that's dramatically all one length, like Kelly Rowland.

But whichever length or haircut you're sporting, the glossier the finish, the better. This is the year for super smooth and sleek locks, explains Lee.

Not sure about making a major chop? How about just trying a new hairstyle? A dramatic side part is one of the biggest styles of the year. And it takes just minutes to create! Simply part your hair sharply to one side. That's really it.

Pro tip: To give your parted hair a shiny and smooth look, add some gel. This hair product is officially making a comeback!

Colorful eye makeup

It's all about adding that pop of color in 2017.

The world of lipstick is also using bold shades to make a statement. Think oranges, bright pinks and even purples or grays when it comes to trending lipstick hues.

Application is also something to consider. Lee says we'll be seeing more of a blurry technique to create a softer effect. Say goodbye to your lip pencil and try using a stick or cream formula to line your lips. Grab a cotton swab along the edges to smear any sharp lines.

Pro tip: Give ombre lips a try with this tip from Sir John who works with Beyonce, Olivia Culpo and Chrissy Teigen. He recommends putting a darker lipstick shade on the top, a lighter one on the bottom and then smacking your lips together a couple of times to diffuse the colors.

The return of blush

It's time to bid farewell to the contouring craze as blush returns to the makeup scene! Think rosy cheeks galore. Break out that bright pink blush that you tucked away in your makeup bag because this is the year to use it. To finish off the look, keep your skin creamy and well moisturized.

Pro tip: Swirl the powder blush from your cheekbones to your temples to create a bold, sculptural effect that looks new and fresh.
