Let's face it, we haven't really had that much of a "summer" in the UK, but as far as I'm concerned that's ok with me. I'm not really a summer person and much prefer it when it gets to the time of year where the leaves start to fall from the trees, the weather turns a little colder and you can get the berry tones and boots out! I've recently been given the opportunity to work alongside House of Fraser to create the perfect autumnal make up look and take a look at the key beauty trends that we can look forward to over the coming months.
Bold Statement Lips
Statement lips are back this season, with bold colours featuring heavily and even black lips were featured by several designers. A key colour to look out for is oxblood red (NARS have a new lipstick available Autumn 2015 called VIP Red Lipstick which is sure to be a sellout this season).
Barefaced Beauty
One of my favourite current beauty trends, the "effortless/minimal make up look" (which to be honest actually takes a lot of effort!) Featuring a natural glow with slightly stained pink or nude lips and groomed brows to create effortless glamour. Complete the look with a sleek side ponytail or natural scrunched waves with a center parting.
Oversized liner
Just when I was getting to grips with my cat flick, it looks like AW has upped the ante with oversized liner. Think big bold lines above and below the eyes.
Grunge Meets Glamour
Sexy tousled hair with heavily kohled eyes, black lipstick and dark smokey eyes.
Sequins & Glitter
I really wanted to include this trend as I am drawn to all things sparkly! Designers have been featuring glittered eyes and crystal eyeliner! Maybe not an everyday look, but definitely something to consider for the festival season or Christmas party!
I've tried to create my own barefaced beauty everyday look using these products:
Benefit - The Porefessional Primer
Rimmel - Match Perfection Foundation in Ivory
NARS - Radiant Creamy Concealer* £22 House of Fraser
Rimmel - Stay Matte Powder in Ivory
NARS - Blush in Orgasm* £23 House of Fraser
NARS - Duo Eyeshadow in Silk Road* £25 House of Fraser
Guerlain - Rouge Automatique Lipstick in 168 L'Heure Bleue
MAC Highlighter - Pink Blossom
Benefit - They're Real Mascara
The three key trends this AW are the bold red lip, the flawless "no make up" look and the smokey eye. I think these trends are the most popular are they are easily achievable in real life. Although I love the innovation of the catwalk, especially with eyeliner this AW, these are creative ideas and subject to your own interpretation for everyday wear. I know i'll definitely be trying to perfect my smokey eye and rockin' a bold red lip this year!
What trends are you most looking forward to this AW?
