We’ve been keeping a close eye on the catwalks recently to find out what beauty trends we should be expecting in 2015. The beauty look is set to be minimalistic, teaming dewy skin and smudged lips with almost ‘undone’ hair and loose, low ponytails.
Skin
It seems well moisturised, clean skin is a must for 2015 and sheen of dewiness is very acceptable. Think post-workout (or school run!) glow and you’ve got the idea. It’s time to step away from the matte powders…
Vogue says - “The best investment you can make next season is a standing appointment with your facialist. Fashion’s fascination with clean, come-as-you-are skin, a sweaty post-workout flush, and the occasional smattering of freckles takes precedent over serious camouflage—and (bonus) cuts your party prep time in half.â€
Eyes
Some fashion houses made the look pop with a flash of colour on the eyes. Fendi opted to use leather and satin strips as a liner whereas Dior preferred a pop of winged orange under the eyes.
Another look we noticed recurring was the sixties ‘Twiggy’ lashes. A smudge of black liner created a frame for fat, spiky lashes that had been over coated and built up.
ProTip: Always thoroughly remove any make-up before bed.
Purple was the colour of choice for eyes on the runway with Matthew Williamson favouring violet eyes and Vera Wang preferring smoky, grape hues. From icy lilacs to deep aubergine you can chose to be as subtle or as bold as you like.
Pro Tip: Use a beige or white liner on the bottom wet-line to give a clean look.
‘The return of the red lip’
If lips weren’t left nude, they were stained with fingerapplied berry shades. This teamed with a bare face can be all you need to give you just the right amount of ‘made up’ appearance. Harsh liners were nowhere to be seen with make-up artists using their fingers or a brush to smudge in colour from the plumpest part of the lips to the edges to create a softer look.
Nails
2015 is all about the ‘Negative Space’ manicure. This painting technique combines graphic nail designs that allow parts of the naked nail plate to show through.
As lovers of all things nails, we’re excited to try some variations of this trend!
