Baring the beautiful you
When thinking about runway beauty looks, several things come to mind: heavy makeup, professional hair and sharp nail techniques. Just understanding them seems like a puzzle, even more if you’ve tried styles often too difficult to achieve.
However, this season’s beauty trends are making us all a big favor, they have gotten as easy as they can be. The almost-bare looks seen in every cover and runaway made it clear: less is more.
Light colors proved to be powerful when paired with spring’s natural wave. Designers made a point by choosing faced-washed makeup and non-brushed hair looks. The natural look is highlighted by certain features like skin glow, wavy hair and natural nail color, making these, some of the most powerful beauty weapons to use. From hair to makeup and nails it is time to embrace a more real you and trust your inner glow.
Hair
Undone hair
Go for a more natural, almost wind-blown look. Use your hair’s real texture and weight to create an effortless style.
Relaxed braids
Back or side swept braids are still an option this season. Be sure to keep in mind they shouldn’t be polished, but messy and natural looking.
Low ponytail
Whether it is natural or sleek, make sure it looks simple and falls right on the nape of the neck.
Make-up
Washed face
With little or much make-up, the goal is to show a natural skin look. If you choose to enhance features like your eyes or lips, make it very soft and natural.
Berry lips
In lighter or darker shades, this is a must-have this season. It brings your features and works in all skin tones.
Winged eye-liner
It goes from delicate to adventurous and it can be as defined or smudgy as you want it to be. Wear it with little or minimal eye shadow to keep the attention on it.
Nails
Negative space nails
Whether through geometric or more simple shapes, it is all about showing some bare nail and its contrast against nail polish.
Nude
A shade that seems never to go out of style gets a new meaning this season. A matte or glossy finish can make all the difference and deliver classic or edgy nails.
Fine lines
On a light nail polish, lines go across the nail vertically or horizontally. Their beauty lies in making them as fine and straight as possible.
