A/W 2015 Beauty Trends

According to Vogue, 'rich girl' beauty - meaning polished make up and hair is back in this A/W. The look is about perfecting the features instead of drawing attention to one in particular. Seen on the runways of Donna Karan, Herve Leger, Bottega Veneta and Prada, this look is perfectly wearable and office appropriate.

In contrast to previous years, mascara was seen at many of the A/W shows such as Nina Ricci, Blumarine and Alberta Ferretti where models had long, fluttery lashes. I think this adds a definite wearability to a catwalk trend as most women would not be comfortable going out without their mascara.

Hair was pulled back into elegant up do's or high buns and pony's at Chanel, Balenciaga and Prada. Accessories like jewelled clips and barettes were seen decorating most of these styles.

After seasons of Matte lips being popular, the shows at NYFW showed that gloss is back. High shine lips were seen at Rag and Bone, Rodarte and Fendi while glossy lids were seen at Nina Ricci.

Dark, blackcurrant toned lips took over at Emanuel Ungaro and Giles, white Topshop Unique, Marc Jacobs and Donna Karan all had models sporting a subtler, berry stained lip. The tones were plums and purples, with no red lips in sight.

Warm, toffee and honey shades are on trend this season. Seen at Thakoon and Prabal Garung, this colour was worn as a wash of matte shadow on the lids and also on the cheeks, lips and nails.
