Autumn Beauty Trends

Make-up

Benefit BrowzingsTrend: Bigger Brows are better …

Bleached brows were a hard trend to pull off, so thankfully the defined brow is back. Chloe, Kenzo and JPG led the way.

Product picks: Benefit Browzings (£22.50), No7 Clear Brow gel (£6.99)

Trend: Soft and Gentle Cheeks…

Less is definitely more with blush this season. Channel Marc by Marc Jacobs and wear a wash of colour low in the hollows of the cheeks in peachy taupe shades.

Product pick: Daniel Sandler watercolour cheek tint (£14.50)

Lancome Doll Lash Effect MascaraTrend: Maximum Lash…

Valentino, Maxmara and Versace all gave good lash with a spidery, clumpy finish.

Product Pick: Lancome Doll Lash Effect Mascara (£20.50)

Trend: Reshape your nails…

Spiky, long and sexy nails as seen on the Gucci and Lowe catwalks made a change from the oval and square shapes from previous seasons. Paint them with metallic shades for an on trend look.

Product pick: Chanel nail polish in Graphite (£17)

Hair 

Gucci PonytailTrend: Ponytails…

The biggest hair trend to hit the runways was without doubt the ponytail. Favorite styles varied from high and slick (Nicole Farhi and Ungaro) to low slung and frizzy (Gucci) and sixties inspired (Valentino). If you’ve not got the length, fake it with a clip in.

Trend: Girls will be boys…

D&G, YSL and Prada all styled their models with quiffs, side partings and even pretend side burns (maybe give this one a miss) and gave an elegant twist on the pretty masculine trend. 

Prada Quiffs

Get the Look

Sheer finish skin

Apply foundation with a sheer finish. You can achieve this by using a damp sponge with a liquid foundation and blend out from the centre of your face. If you need extra coverage apply concealer to these areas only.

***

Apricot eyes

Marc Jacobs A/W 2011Using a long wear, cream eye shadow in peach, blend it with your fingers all around the eyes. For a lived in feel press over clear gloss over the top.

***

Defined Brows

Brush eyebrows upwards to create a bushy effect. Set with clear brow gel. Fill in between the hairs with a soft shadow and an angle brush.

***

Doll Lashes

Double or triple layer your lashes with a thick black mascara for extra impact and pinch them together into clumps top and bottom using blunt tweezers or your finger tips.

***

Sleek pony

Using a wet look gel, smooth your hair back into a tight top knot. Invest in a long straight pony tail extension and clip it in, dressage style.
