S/S 2014 Beauty trends!

Just a few, new staple products are enough to keep you on trend and looking fresh, for this Spring/Summer. 

1. Lilac and Lavender. 


Pastels always seem to creep back into our lives around spring time, but this year has seen hues of purple making a bold stand at the likes of Holly Fulton, PPQ and Marchesa. For those beauty daredevils go for a wash of lavender over the lids or a lavender liner cat eye (which are also doing the rounds again at the likes of Chanel and Giambattista Valli). For a more subtle nod to the trend try a lilac gloss or purple stain along with a matching pastel mani/pedi. 

2. Tangerine Lips.


 One of my favorite looks for this season is the bright orange, statement lip! This was seen at Rag and Bone and DKNY among many, many other. This amped up coral lip seemed to be the go to shade of lipstick for many of the fashion week makeup artists and I must admit, I am riding this bandwagon 100%!! 

3. Lashes, Lashes Lashes!


Twiggy-esk, doe-eyed 60's makeup is back with big feathery lashes on both the top and bottom! Seen at both Jean-Pierre Braganza and Holly Fulton. This look will make an amazing sex-kitten, statement eye for a night out. Tip - use individual lashes for the bottom lash line, this will create a softer more wearable look. 

So there are my top 3 picks that'll be sneaking into my makeup bag. 
What will your S/S 2014 essentials be?

Until next time

Start at the beginning! 


This quote could not be more true! Having spent the past few years wondering 'have I made the right choices in life.' 'If I could rewind would I make those same decisions?' Only in the past 8 months have I realized that all those 'questionable' or 'hasty' decisions have led me here...
Exactly where I should be!
A fantastic opportunity as a makeup artist with an amazing company, a boyfriend I adore and a new place to call home! 
No to mention, finally giving this blog some legs...lets get 'UP AND RUNNING'!
Stay tuned for some weekly raves, rants and random posts on all things beauty.

Until next time
