Most people look to the fashion runways
for the latest styles, but this year make-up is trending in a big way
and it’s time for us to pay attention. You’re in for a treat this
autumn and winter as some of the most beautiful looks are vogue.
Traditionally a style for the summer, colour is now fashionable this
season, so get ready to don a brave palette and stand out from the
crowd.
A Natural Glow
Summer styles have leaked into this
season. Even with the cold weather, it’s time to create that
sun-kissed look with luminous shades of bronzer and
fresh-from-outside light peaches. If you’re shy when it comes to a
shimmery bronzer, go for a matte highlighter for your cheeks. This
trend looks fantastic with natural eyes and lips and creates that
healthy, beautiful, sporty appearance that has caught on like
wildfire after this year’s Olympics.
Classic Red
Possibly the most classic look when it
comes to make-up is the striking, red lips. Whatever your favourite
shade, be it post-box red or a light rose, mix up your style with
matte and glossy finishes. If bright red lipstick seems a little
drastic to you, dab it on lightly for a hint of colour. Getting red
right can be a real touch-and-go process, so make sure you compare
different beautysupplies in the UK. A great tip for getting that matte,
saturated look is to pick out a matching shade of powder pigment and
brush lightly over your lipstick.
Colourful, Smoky Eyes
Getting the bad girl, smoky eyes uses a
blend of dark colours in varying shades to create a gorgeous, smudged
finish. That’s the traditional version of this new look, but this
style puts a twist on smoky eyes: substitute the blacks, browns, and
neutrals for blues, purples, greens, and silvers. This butterfly eye
look is sexy and fun with a wide margin for creativity. Match with
neutral lips for a bohemian, striking style.
Alternatively, use a thick gold and
transition into a silver or orangey shade for a shadow that will
complement the autumn colours and bring out the glow in your skin
tone.
Full Eyebrows
No, we’re not asking you to go Stone
Age and retire your eyebrow tweezers completely, but you should give
them a rest for a while because the ‘power brow’ is back in
style. Full, natural-looking brows are enhanced with pencils and
powder to give a strong, feminine look.
Eyeliner
The slightly feline double flick at the
corner of the eye is a must-have look for anyone who wants to
elongate their eye shape. Mix it up by making the bottom sweep
thicker than the top or use separate colours. Liquid liners are great
for making this style last all day long without fading.
If you’d rather stay to your
traditional cat eyes, stick with a retro winged eyeliner. Following
the trends this autumn, don’t be afraid to experiment with bright
colours such as blue or turquoise.
