Statement Eyes

Flashes of colour, glitter and graphic lines are huge this season. This type of eye is perfect for the festivals when you feel like being a bit more daring then usual.

How to do it?
You can incorporate these trends into your everyday look by adding slight hints for example you could use a coloured eyeliner and create a winged liner. If your getting really creative, you could draw on some lashes as a subtle nod to the Louis Vuitton look using a felt tip eyeliner pen to get the precise lines. For the festivals you can sprinkle some glitter under your eyes.


Bronzed

Bronzed makeup is one of my favourites so I'm super excited about this trend this season. Think bronzey browns on the eyes, tanned skin and a subtle contour.

How to do it?
This trend is a really wearable look. You can apply a swipe of bronze eyesahdow all over your eyelids and smudge in a bit of brown eyeliner to create some depth for a sultry look. Or you could apply your bronzer a tad bit heavier along your cheekbones and around the eyes to frame them.


Natural Makeup

Dewy skin, bushy brows, slick of mascara and subtle pops of colour on the lips. I'm a huge fan of no makeup makeup as recently makeup is becoming super heavy and crazily contoured for that popular Kim Kardashian look so natural makeup is a breath of fresh air to me.

How to do it?
Apply the bar minimum of makeup you can. You want the skin to look fresh not caked on so use BB creams or just concealer to cover your blemishes. Use small amounts of mascara, apply some cream blusher to the cheeks for the dewy look or just add a pop of bronzer to the cheekbones and lip balm will finish the look.



Bold Lip

Red and Pink tones are big lip colours this season. If your not used to these colours, there are many different hues you can try... there's light and dark pinks or bright reds to a slight wash of red. Lots of different ones to experiment with.


As seen at Dolce & Gabanna, Zac Posen and Missoni

How to do it?
This trend looks the best with minimal eye makeup so just a bit of mascara looks perfect with these lips. Try using a lipliner to keep the colour on your lips longer and stop smudging. Experiment with different tones to get the right one for you.
