London fashion week has gracefully flown by and I have not stopped checking my phone to spot the hot beauty trends on the forecast for spring/ summer 2017. Like every season, I have been left feeling extremely inspired and ready to experiment with new makeup trends and techniques.
If like me you struggle to keep up with the whirlwind of fashion week, I have packed together a good roundup of the hottest makeup trends seen on the catwalk this season.
Val Garland, phenomenal British makeup artist is a woman whose work I admire, so I am always intrigued to see what work she produces at fashion week.
This season Val focused on bold lips and fresh, bare skin with a grunge feel. I especially love the look that she created for Gareth Pugh. The makeup was very messy which I really liked.
The models skin was kept bare with a strong glow. Highlighter is definitely here to stay.
Gone are the days of strong overdrawn eyebrows; all of the models sported ungroomed messy brows brushed upwards. I absolutely love this look!

To achieve this messy brow trend, reduce your trips to the eyebrow threading / plucking / waxing salon and stop trimming the hairs too often. If you don't want to leave your brows completely bare, use a wax eyebrow pencil and finish with a tinted eyebrow mascara / gel and brush upwards. MAC Brow Sculpt pencil and Maybelline Brow Drama are the perfect tools.

A trend that was spotted at both the Gareth Pugh and Mother of Pearl shows was a very bold smudged lip line. Does this suggest that lip liner is out? What do you think?
There were a lot of 80's and 90's inspired looks on the catwalk this season, for example at the TopShop Unique show the models hair was tightly curled with lots of volume.
Glossy skin, glossy lips, glossy eyelids .. everyone added a touch of gloss to their look this season. Exaggerating the strobing trend with a gloss really stood out to me and I will definitely be experimenting with this trend.
Generously applying a glossy balm like Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream to the lips will give a plump glossy finish and you could also buff it into the skin for a great high fashion look.
I recently created an 80's inspired high shine eye using Kiko Clear Lipgloss which looks great on photo.

I always love fashion week: it feels like a breath of fresh air with lots of new exciting ideas for the creative industry!
