Spring/Summer 2016 Beauty Report

How to create a good foundation
Skin is definitely in this year – natural skin texture is left to shine through with the usage of minimal products. Beauty tip: Primers used to blur away imperfections can also be used under a minimal amount of foundation and concealer for that real, “no-makeup” look.


To successful rock colourful eye makeup
Work bright eyes as a colour riot took place on the runways – usually in a single vibrant hue. Beauty tip: If full-on colour blocking isn’t your thing, try a bright eyeliner ala Monique Lhuillier.


Pucker up with red lips!
Pouts are painted in reds and deep burgundies, and matted down. The caveat is that everything else is kept to the absolute minimum. Beauty tip: to mattify a satin lipstick, place a single ply of tissue over your lips and dab on some loose powder through the tissue.


Be an expert at applying false lashes
Scores of falsies flutter their way down the catwalks of Paris, New York and Milan. Beauty tip: Cut up strip lashes into individual pieces to customise your own lash look.


Achieve that glowing skin for the season
Strobing took centre stage again with models’ skin glowing with strategically-placed highlights and just a hit of tan. Beauty tip: Keep key areas such as the forehead and corners of the nose matte.
