Makeup and Hairstyles
that are going to be a trend this year as well as practical are :
1. Go for minimalistic yet colourful eye makeup
Using three different shades and blending them to create one
is good for autumn and winters, where they are not going to melt down your eyes
and create a mess. For summers and spring go for a single eye colour and blend
well. It looks cute, save time plus you don’t have to worry for different
shades creating a mess of their own.
2. Orange-sun kissed look is back
Take out all of your peachy orange blushes and make your
cheeks look oh-so-pretty. Pinks and shimmers are more of night time .
Don’t go for heavily bronzed cheeks, a light swipe is all
you need to have a health glow or if you want a light fake tan.
3. Go for light makeup base
Heavily caked face or a full coverage foundation are not
your best friends in summer, they will melt down and make your skin look bad.
Also due to heat your facial skin perspires more, so a heavy layer of
foundation will block the pores and you may have to face some ugly pimples on
your pretty face.
A light makeup base, used with a foundation sponge is good
for you when you want to look slightly dressed up. Although my suggestion will
be to go for Tinted Moisturisers.
Tip for summers: Mix one drop of light coverage foundation
with a thin liquidy face moisturizer and dab it on your face and blend with
your fingers. Gives little coverage and lets your skin breathe.
4. Corals/Baby pinks/Muted Browns to rule the lips
Skip lip glosses, this is one thing that irritates the most
in summer heat; Go for lip tints and clear lip balms.
5. Chuck Black ~ Go for Browns, purple, green, blue and
yellow!!
Black eyeliner that too heavily applied does not scream
summer at all.
All you need is colourful liners, looks super good and
cheery J
Let’s come to hairstyles now.
Summer is all for bouncy wavy soft curly hair this year
1. Stay away from your styling equipments
Keep them aside for special occasions, rest of the time
enjoy the natural style of your hair, a bit wavy, light curls are super in this
season. Just remember to accentuate your hair with cute pins and bands.
2. Say hello to new type of side braids
Side braids ruled the entire last year and yes it is going
to reign this year also, but with slight variations.
Instead of side braids, side braided buns are going to be
popular. Honestly speaking nothing is more cuter than a side braided bun with a
cute lil flower clip on it ,, J
3. Wavy waterfall hairstyle has come back again
Confused on how to do it,, well it is simply clipping small
section of your hair near the crown of your head after braiding it normally and
leaving the rest of your hair as it is,,it suits more on layered and naturally
wavy hair than straight hair.
For girls with poker straight hair, make an unruly high bun,
from the tail of your comb pull out some strands of hair from it to give a
casual look.
4. Say hello to centre partings
This is one trend that has made its comeback after so many
years.
Centre partings or your hair’s natural way of parting is going
to be a trend this season.
Basically it is to give a casual / effortless look. Poufs
are to be ditched big time.
5. Accessorize
The simple the better. Choose according to your hair style
as well as your dressing style.
So, this was all about what 2012 spring-summer trends in the
world of Fashion, Makeup and Hairstyles are going to be.
Did you see something common in here,,,
It’s the vibrant colours,, well..what is Summer without any
colour ;)
Thanks a lot
