Beauty trend #2: Strong brows
According to Tom Ford, perfectly groomed and shaped eyebrows are one of the most important elements of the face. It’s no wonder why bold brows have been a huge trend for a few recent seasons recalling 60s makeup. Altuzarra mastered the jet black brows a la Liz Taylor while Proenza Schouler relied on perfectly natural-looking full brows. Flawless eyebrows are now within reach thanks to numerous professional serums, grooming gels and brow pencils.
Beauty trend #3: Bronzed cheeks
Like on a mini vacation but without ever catching a ray, get the trendy sun-kissed look you desire with a golden bronze complexion highlighter. Just dot and blend over makeup onto cheek and browbones for a bronzed glow that complements all skintones. That fresh, healthy, beachy look (far from wintery pale) was given to models’ faces in Michael Kors to complement the stylish minimalistic sports fashion ensembles.
Beauty trend #4: Half-moon manicure
Also known as a “reverse French mani”, half moon manicure brings a vintage flair. This chic but not the easiest way to paint your nails has been popularised by burlesque queen Dita Von Teese. As of catwalks, the best half moon manis were seen in Pamela Love where Essie nail experts created flawless diamond-shaped patterns on models’ nails. Want to DIY?
