Beauty Trend Report for Spring/Summer 18

ALL THAT GLITTERS

Glitter S/S 18 Mood Board

A trend that continuously dominates fashion week each year is glitter. Everybody seems to have an obsession with all things shimmery and sparkly, I know I do! Topshop shined with colourful sparse glittery lids, Undercover went with a statement glitter look, a bold glittery eye in a variety of hues. Glitter lashes sparkled at Gucci and Shrimps models pouted 'after party' glitter! Get ready to sparkle this Spring/Summer! 

Try your own glitter lip with my favourite lip kit from Topshop (£18) - A lip liner, lip paint, mattifier and three-dimensional glitter that will create the perfect party pout!

SUPERMODEL SKIN

Supermodel Skin S/S 18 Mood Board

We are going back to the basics with natural, dewy, radiant skin that glowed at the S/S 18 shows. These simple makeup looks took over the runway, being one of the biggest beauty trends of the year. Pat McGrath created a fresh-faced look for Stella McCartney, she also perfected glowing skin for Bottega Venta. McGrath was also the makeup artist behind Versace's glowing skin, groomed brows and defined eyes. It looks like 'no makeup, makeup' is back so get prepared to go fresh faced!

Prep yourself for supermodel skin with Charlotte Tilbury's Multi-Miracle Glow, a cleanser, mask and balm that leaves skin feeling baby-soft and complexion looking smooth and refreshed! (£45)

BOLD LINES

Bold Lines S/S 18 Mood Board

All attention was on the eyes, variations of black, bold graphic liner made a statement. Marc Jacobs kept the skin clean but eyes were bold, and rimmed in blank ink. Monse got creative, makeup artist Grace Lee gave liner a modern twist, by replacing the classing wing and drawing on double spaced lines. James Kaliardos created a reverse cat-eye for Jill Stuart. Heavy liner was applied to the model's lower lash lines, and extended outwards.

Get creative with graphic lines, Rimmel's Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Liner (£7.99) allows you to draw the lines you want with complete control. Be bold with your look!

CHIC ACCESSORIES

Hair Accessorising

Spring/Summer hair is all about pretty accessorising. For the S/S 18 shows, models posed with accessorised hairstyles. From chic ribbons, too crystal covered crocodile clips and dainty floral headbands, designers jazzed up some fun hairstyles. Versace, Erdem, Simone Rocha, Rodarte and Dolce & Gabbana all showed variations of the trend.

Play around with your own hairstyles using some affordable accessories from Accessorize! Try a sparkly glitter bow clip (£5) or a twinkly hair clip (£17) or a simple ribbon hair scrunchie. (£3.50)

So, there you have it, a roundup of my favourite beauty trends from S/S 18 shows. I hope this post inspires you to try some of your own creative, makeup and hair looks for the upcoming season!
