A/W 12 Beauty Trends

A/W 12 brings a whole host of new beauty trends. One of the main ones features a pop of bright colour on the eyes. To be totally on trend, choose an azure or light blue. We are going back to the 80’s! By using shadow on the lids you can easily create this look. Many people struggle with the application of eye shadow. The key tip from makeup school is to invest in a good blending brush.

Meanwhile in the hair world fringes are so back. These may not be entirely for you as they are Vidal Sassoon inspired geometric block fringes. This is very 60’s. We are totally inspired by Adele’s voluminous hair. It is puffy and perfect. Feeling daring? Jus show a picture to your hairdresser.

Regarding nails and lips, gothic colours are really in fashion. This is more suited to the palest skins with very dark eye makeup for a harsh, contrasting look. This could be a great option for a night out, perhaps not during the daytime.

Berry lips follow with this trend. In particular very dark berry looks are in fashion. This is quite harsh and may not suit some lip shapes or colours, the best way to find out is to experiment. Apply clear gloss to really make you lips pop. Your blusher should look fresh and natural. Choose a soft colour like a light pink.
