After MTV star Jersey Shore’s Snooki startled her twitter fans by showing her face without makeup, it was rated as the most in-vogue trend for this year. Also according to a report by the New York Times, imperfect beauty is one of the hottest 2012 beauty trends. So if you’re presenting yourself effortless with tousled locks, you can be rated as stylish.

Gone are the days when stiff and perfectly polished coiffures, precise lip and eyeliner, matte foundation and overdone eyes ruled the roost. Make way for smudgy eyeliner and pinched cheeks. If you want to keep track of this 2012 beauty trend, always take the less boring route in terms of makeup application. Choose funky lipstick shades like orange or red and ditch the lip liner.

Also, allow your eyebrows to grow out a bit so they’re natural looking, as opposed to sporting a sleek, over-plucked geometric shape. As for hair, keep things low maintenance and avoid poker straight hair. A messy chignon is chic. You can also try a versatile and textured wave style that shouts a bit of that bed-head vibe.
