Autumn/Winter 2013 Makeup Trends

Hey Beauties!

I was asked to do more of these posts and i actually like doing them because they are fun and they do keep me on the ball with trends.
This season tends to be a bit more out there with weird makeup rather than your time honored traditions which i love but you can take parts from the trends and incorporate it into your look

Firstly i saw a lot of Cat Eyes on the runway this season quite a few shows had their models sporting some quite weird but wonderful variations of the original cat eye (Christian Dior and Jason Wu) You can get this look using Illamasqua Precision Gel Eyeliner in Infinity.

I saw quite a lot of my favourite kind of makeup really dark and dramatic with lots of deep colours like Blacks, Burgundys and just a lot of quite warm tones on the eyes (Gucci, Elie Saab) Its almost like grunge has made its comeback to the catwalk which i absolutely love! The Daniel Sandler "Scandal at Midnight" Palette would be perfect for this look.

Skin has become really important in the last season to this season ive saw a lot of really glowy luminous skin its said that makeup artists spent 5 times as long on skin as they normally would just to get that really flawless "not made up" finished look Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation will give that gorgeous glowy skin without making you look too made up its great as its light reflectant too.

As always Brows feature quite heavily in some shows the trend going away from thinner, structured brows to becoming thicker and more defined i think the trend is mostly thanks to Cara Delevingne. I love to use MAC Brow Pencils when filling in brows i often use the colour "Lingering"

Lips were also really big this season it was actually really nice to see they were all about texture from Matte Lips to Glossy and Velvet etc. It was all about different tones of reds i saw Berry tones to read bright letter box reds. You could use Illamasqua Shard, Box, Sangers, Howl and Maneater
