Fall 2014 update - Makeup trends of the season

Hey there sparkle people!

I know i haven't posted for too long but do follow me on Instagram (@sparklepassion25) for some featured looks and mini tutorials!
Come fall and its smokey eyes and dark lips all over! Don't fall back on the trend - go ahead and check out some of the more wearable trends that I cannot wait to try out!

Metallics –

Everyone seems to be going metallic this season – Not only eyes, but Lips too! So stock up on some good pigments and get started on this super-hot trend! I love the trend of putting a pop of metallic in the inner corner of the eyes. Another great way to honour this trend is to line the top lashes in black and the bottom in a beautiful metallic colour. The easiest of course is to cover your eyelid with a beautiful metallic colour for a party – Use pigments for the best effect.

Lash out –

Cute doll like lashes are the statement of the season – Prada, Gucci, and St. Laurent agree!  This is a perfectly wearable look ‘coz who doesn’t love full pretty lashes?! Stock up on some great falsies and a perfect mascara for every day.

Dealing with the blues –

This is my personal fav - Fall 2014 beauty is all about the blues – look around and you will find gorgeous turquoises, sapphires, and cobalts – whether it’s a shimmer across the lid or a pop of colour on the waterline!

 Trend highlight –

Iridescent colours and super highlighted faces were all over the runway for the biggest names in fashion.

Smokey eyes –

This trend has been here for a while and is definitely here to stay! As always, Autumn 2014 brings about a whole lot of Smokey eyes with emphasis on the smudged liner on the lower lash line. Be sure to line your waterline to make your eyes pop!

Bright eyes –

If you thought bright eyes were only for summer – Think again! Those coloured eyes pencils are surely your new BFFs this autumn! If you think you can’t carry off too much colour on the lid, just try this – Mattify your face, put on a neutral shadow, and line your waterline with a pop of colour!

Flawless –

This is one trend that will have your skin thanking you – Barely there makeup is a hot trend on runways of Balmain, Stella McCartney and the likes. Invest in a rich night cream to rehydrate your skin and don’t slack off on your skincare routines – this will help you lay off the foundation and concealor for that flawless look. You could use a light blusher for that youthful glow. Check out the post on basic essentials of skincare here. 

A great product for breakout prone skin is the “Dermalogica” breakout range – truly amazing for transforming your skin!

Lip trends

Lips are trending on Nudes and peached for a very subtle no – makeup makeup look, or Berry lips/Red lips for that daring statement look. Mac has some gorgeous shades for this trend!  

Exaggerated cat – eye –

One thing I saw a lot of was the exaggerated cat eye! Beautiful extended winged liners, and double winged liners were the trends I found. This trend might be a tad outside my comfort zone but it definitely is worth a try!

60’s makeup –

We have all seen and loved the Kylie Jenner 60’s matte lipstick look – Time to recreate it with the 60s makeup trend going big this season. The eyes aren’t too much to concentrate on with just bold liner above and below the lash line.
