S/S 16 - make-up trends

Looking into trends of spring/summer 2016 that caught my eye to consider to corporate into my looks for my shoots.

A big trend os S/S 16 is dewy skin. This trend is well known around the hotter seasons as it appears natural and represents youthful, fresh skin.

Doll-like, dramatic lashes was also a feature on the catwalk of S/S 16. A lot of focus was on the lashes, whether it be dramatic, thick lashes, chunky lashes or coloured lashes; it appeared to be an occurring theme.

The new bronzing trend of 2016 is 'sun-stripping' in which you apply bronzer from cheekbone to cheekbone, creating a bronzed look.

An eye-catching theme was the use of glitter and sequins. This trend uses the glitter and sequins in a high-fashion way without being over-the-top.

Thick, bold brows made an appearance on the catwalks again. With minimal make-up and bold brows, this created a strong look. There was even thick, bleached eyebrows which caught my eye the most.

Under-eyeliner made an appearance, giving the vibe of retro, grunge which always attracts attention as it is effortlessly beautiful.

Minimal make-up also returned to the spring/summer catwalks. This look involved fresh, healthy skin with minimal colour on the cheeks, 'no mascara' mascara and naturally defined eyebrows.

Lip trends included nude lips, dark, vampire lips, glossy lips and bright red lips. These trends seem to appear time and time again.

These trends were some of my favourites of this spring/summer. I am hoping to incorporate some of these trends into my looks for my shoots for this project.
