Spring has arrived, bringing with it, new and unique beauty looks to take inspiration from.
Straight from the runways of New York Fashion Week (12/09/21), we go through five of the spring beauty trends to look out for this season
From neon shadows to vampy lips these five stellar beauty looks have already made their official debut and are now ready to hit the streets.
Pops of neon
Bright neon colours were paired with naturally flawless skin and a subtle lip to finish.
How to achieve the look:
- Start by creating the perfect base. A foundation such as Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place (RRP $60) will be able to provide full coverage and a fresh complexion all in one.
- For the focus of the look Huda beauty’s Wild Obsessions eyeshadow pallete (RRP $29) has fierce shadow colours and high pigmentation for a striking eye-look.
- Finish this look with a sheer lipstick like Honest Beauty’s Lush Sheer lip crayon (RRP $13) for a juicy pout with a pop of colour.
Dramatic lashes
Bold eye looks with emboldened lashes were defined further with eyeliner on the bottom lid.
How to achieve the look:
- To emulate this look, a pair of false lashes like the Ardell Professional Naked lashes (RRP $9) is a must have adding both definition and volume to the natural lashes. To apply the Duo Line it Lash it (RRP $15) is a two in one, an adhesive when wet and liner when dry holding lashes in place all day.
- To emphasise the lashes use the Duo Line it Lash it as an eyeliner to create a line starting from the inner corner of the eye to the middle of the lower lashes.
Vampy lips
Vampy lips are back in fashion usually a fall look, they have made an emergence as a spring trend. The look focuses on the lips which have a bright and vivid red or orangey colour while the rest of the face is almost bare.
How to achieve the look:
- Finding the perfect lip shade is key and MAC has a variety of shades to choose from including a gorgeous bright orange shade Resort season (RRP $42) and a vivacious red True red (RRP $42). The formula is made with emollient properties and is moisturising as well as providing 10-hours of wear.
- Before application trace the cupids bow with foundation to create a crisp line and then use the applicator tip on the lipstick fill in the lips precisely. Use the foundation again to clean up any excess lipstick.
Coloured brow
From bleached eyebrows to coloured brows, an ongoing trend of this season’s show was adding pops of colour to the eye ranging from cool blues to warm oranges.
How to achieve the look:
- Before colouring the brows make sure they are clean and apply a layer of Vaseline (RRP $5) on the areas around the brows so any unwanted colour can be removed easily off the skin.
- Select a colourful liner like the crème gel colour (RRP $7) from Colourpop collection’s range of pigmented shades.
- Apply with a superfine angled brush creating an outline of the brow, then fill in with hair like strokes.
Glitter highlights
Glitter highlights were all the rave at New York Fashion Week on the eyes, cheeks and even ears of models to create an ethereal galactic effect.
- A primer that can be used all over the face and is able to blur pores such as Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer (RRP $74) should be applied on the area that the glitter is wanted for a strong base.
- For easy to apply glitter consider Stila’s Glitter & Glow liquid eye shadow (RRP $24)it’s applicator wand allows mess free glitter to be added to the wanted areas and comes in a variety of shades.
