Spring/Summer '14 BeautyTrends!

Its that time of year again, everyones makeup bag is in need of a revamp after the party season, but hold on to that loose glitter that you spontaneously bought for your works christmas party and thought you'd never use again because like likes of Chanel and Margiela have kept the trend going! 

 Here are my favourite spring/summer 2014 beauty looks straight from the catwalk. 

First up is a light shimmery sparkly eye, nothing too dark and intense more of a sweep of a light glitter, but we have seen intense with liner by Chanel and bejeweled masks from Margiela at Paris fashion week (below). If you are brave enough 100% go for a strong glitter liner underneath, Urban Decay and Jemma Kidd do some really bright glitter liners. 

But for a more wearable gentle shimmer try a loose pigment my two faves are Illamasqua's Pure pigment eye shadow in Beguile, really beautiful on a paler skin tone. Secondly MAC's Loose pigment pot in Naked, which is brilliant on any skin tone especially a more tanned or darker skin tone, this kind of eye look only needs a bit of mascara and a well defined brow and you are good to go!

Number 2 is a bronzed glowing complexion, everyone loves a fresh face and last spring was all about pinks however this year to team with the naked fresh glittery eye look a bronzed glow is essential. Not too heavy base just a light tinted moisturiser or medium coverage foundation, try NARS Sheer Glow or NARS Pure radiant tinted moisturiser, and buff in these perfect bronzers! 

Laguna powder bronzer a best seller for NARS and it's not hard to see why! This semi matte medium brown bronzer is perfect for every skin tone to add a natural bronze radiance. Or if semi matte is just too matte for you try the super intense Laguna liquid illuminator for a super dewy 'fresh off the beach' look.

Last but definitely not least is the coral lip and the lavender lip! Hot bright lips BIG trend this spring/summer! If you are paler or just not a 'bright lip person' the lavender lip is one for you subtle, soft yet eye catching candy lavender lips are a MASSIVE trend this Spring. The iconic summertime coral lip is also back, bright orange lips and a bronzed complexion go hand in hand so next time you're shopping at NARS grab a Laguna with your satin lip pencil & gloss and you're set to go all summer!
