With Winter slowly creeping in here in South Africa, we have enjoyed some fun and colourful makeup looks. Here are some trends that we will surely miss this coming Winter.

 

 

Channel gave us the red lip and glossy eyelid, this look was a trendy one indeed. Red lipstick is always a powerful accessory that boosts the self-esteem of any women. And that is exactly what we saw and felt with this look. CONFIDENCE! The glossy eyelid can be achieved by simply applying any thick lipgloss (may cause a sticky situation), or any other shiny lip balm of your choice.

 

 

 

 

 

Giorgio Armani blessed us with this berry inspired lip. The combination of creme lipstick and gloss makes it look fruity and yummy. Plum lipsticks are the best whether matte or glossy. There is a bit of shine that comes through and everyone will notice it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Literally, EVERYONE appreciates a little glow on their skin and although there are so many methods and ways to get this glow there is an alternative, that is quick and easy…BB cream. This is the best-kept secret in the beauty industry. Max Mara was able to show us this within his runway show where models looked like they had just gotten out of the shower with their faces clean and fresh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen the moment that we have all been waiting for, and you may ask what could be the biggest trend?…you guessed it; Colour eyeliner. This is not your conventional eyeliner, this can also be applied on the top lashline and at times on the whole lid. This look has been everywhere from runway shows, influencers,  social media and magainze articles, in fact, Elle: Australia states that this look was seen during the A/W 18 runway shows. How cool is it that it is still a major trend!

With this look, you need to go wild or go home…seriously. Blues, Pinks, Aquas, Neons, Oranges and also Yellows are the few colours that you can start with. Make-up brands have also caught onto this trend making it easier for you and I to play around and have fun.

Next week I’ll be putting these trends to the test and checking if pulling them off could be easy peasy lemon squeezy or the exact opposite.

And shoutout to the makeup artists who are behind the scenes doing the most. We see and appreciate you!!
