Make-up trends on the runway

-

IF you thought red tones had no place near your eyes, think again. This shade of red is used particular­ly to coat lashes. Tip: To keep it from making you look tired, opt for a dark formula that shows its true shine only when it catches the light. Burgundy has been trending for the past seasons and seems like it is here to stay for a while.

Gloss and vinyl finishes are lined up for next coming seasons and we’ll see even more glimmer still with metallic eye make-up. A lot of metals and chrome shadows are incorporat­ed into everyday looks. Metallic eyelids are the in-thing as they give a similar pop effect as last year’s glossy eyelids trend, but with more functional wearabilit­y.

If you finally nailed your liquid eyeliner skills last year, you’re in luck: Liquid liner is still in, some us are trying to get the hang of it. Shiny liquid liner gives it an extra edge for 2017.Wing it out for a subtle or dramatic lift. The vinyl-like shine gives new meaning to liquid liner.

“Think of this colour as the new black. And the beauty of a neutral is you can pull it off on any part of your face. Draped sheer and high on the cheeks, graphic yet soft on the eyelids, or as a healthy glow on the lips. Pink adds a fresh take to a bare face.

If you have found a way to do your make-up like a pro then, you’re in luck. Pairing blush with the same lip tone and adding the same colouring in the eyes ties everything together. These days, nearly every colour of the rainbow is up for play, no matter where you apply it to your face.

When it comes to your brows, it’s out with the overdone. Dramatic, squared-off Instagram arches look dated and severe. Naturally groomed, straight brows make you look younger and are on-trend for 2017. TIP: Give the tweezers, pencils, and powders a rest, and reach for a tinted gel to hold freshly brushed brows and lightly fill them as well.

Bold statement lips are taken to the next level by creating new dimensions, from ombre effects to an overlay of glitter. For a super easy result that doesn’t look it, layer two different effects, such as a base layer of a satiny lipstick with a dab of high-glitter gloss right in the center of your lips.

The matte lipstick is still on trend, but the lipgloss is making its way back. Liquid matte lips have been dominating for the last few years, but lip gloss is a refreshing change giving dimension, shine, and youth.
