This season’s biggest hair and makeup trends are all about simple details that will really make you shine.
- Glowing Skin: Give your skin a glow via a mix of Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer and Copacabana liquid Illuminator. At J. Mendel, makeup artists applied Revlon Skinlights in Bronze to the cheeks, bridge of nose, and forehead with a wet sponge.
- Neon Orange Lips: Orange tones make loud mouths cool this season. The easiest way to wear bright lip colour is with a chunky glide-on pencil. Makeup artist Gucci Westman was seen using neon orange lips to set off the muted white, cream, and pastel clothes. “We needed a pop of color, but orange is cooler and more gritty than red,” she said. Try Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Electric Orange. Keep the rest of your makeup uncomplicated — framing your face with bold brows, gilded eyelids and mascara.
- Winged Eyeliner: This season liner has gone graphic with straight flicks and angular shapes. This makes the retro obsession instantly more modern, but still super-sexy. Frame your face with bold brows, gilded eyelids and mascara. Choose from L’Oreal Paris Gel Matic Super Liner in Black, Estee Lauder Pure Color Intense Kajal Eyeliner in Blackened Black, Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner in True Black. Makeup artist Mally Roncal suggests, thin cotton swab dipped in makeup remover is the key to getting a clean line.
- Blue Eye Shadow: This season Marc by Marc Jacobs, models wore a stunning statement lid in rich, solid blue from lash line to crease. The color was created with Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Ice, patted onto lids, creating a crescent shape just above creases and topped with a layer of Curacao (from the Shiseido Eye Color Bar Compact). At Badgley Mischka, powdery blue shades were layered to create a disco-like look.
- Gold Shadow & Highlighter: Use gold shadow on lids as a base for dark liner, like Pat McGrath did at Dolce & Gabbana (try Dolce & Gabbana The Eyeshadow Smooth Eye Colour Duo in Gold); load up on loose glitter flecks, as seen at Jason Wu; or use a shimmery highlighter (such as CoverGirl Tru Magic The Luminizer Skin Perfector) to draw light to the inner corners and cheekbones.
- Metallic Nails: DO accentuate your sun-kissed complexion with a shiny and shimmering manicure. Besides, aren’t you bored with the usual pastel nail polishes?
