With the advent of a new season, there’s plenty of opportunity to forget your troubles and experiment with your look. So, without further ado, let’s explore some of the latest trends. There’s plenty of evidence to suggest that this spring will be the season of blush. Ordinarily, blush is an accent, a way to add a little rosy glow to those cheeks. But at recent fashion shows, it’s been worn loud and proud across the entire cheek. As if that wasn’t enough, plenty of models were spotted sporting blush across their eyes and temples as well. Now, blush is being used as a statement and can be used as a tool to craft some powerful looks. Of course, what goes on the catwalk isn’t necessarily going to work in everyday settings, but for a party or a night out, this is a sure- fire way to grab some attention and leave an impression. While we’re on the subject of bright colour, it’s worth mentioning that big, bright neon eyeshadow is very much in again. Five years ago, this style was all the rage. You couldn’t scroll Despite the propensity of daffodils that have sprung up across the county over the last few months, spring is finally here in earnest – and that means it’s time to get stuck into one of the most important seasons in the beauty calendar. for more than a few seconds on Instagram without coming across an eyeshadow style more outlandish than the last. Now we’ve reached a point where the aim is less about getting the most likes online but rather to complement your entire look. You could say that statement eyeshadow has grown up. Our advice would be to pick a colour and stick with it. Things get messy when you start putting three or more bright strips over the eye. Particular trendy colours are pink, blue and green. Thankfully, a new season doesn’t mean you have to throw out your old favourites, with plenty of recognisable trends coming back around. Take glossy lips as an example. Without fail, they make a return in one shape or form every year. For spring 2022, they’re very much in. So bust out that gloss and let your lips shine. Elsewhere in the lips department, there’s a return to the classic red lippy. Some looks are just so timeless, so brilliant that they don’t need any messing with. What served movie starlets in the forties is just as powerful today. To really maximise the effect of wearing red lipstick, pair it with a bare face. The effect is immediately impactful. While we’re on the subject of a bare face, it’s time to touch on the all-natural look. The name is a bit misleading, as it’s less about forgoing make-up, but rather it’s about using make-up subtly to enhance one’s natural beauty. It’s all about achieving glowing, lit from within skin. To accomplish that, try using nude and rosy shades to enhance rather than smother your natural assets. The same classic status of red lips is also afforded to smoky eyes. Could there be a more timeless look? The answer is no. Trends come and go, seasons change, but smoky eyes are perennial. They pair with just about anything and, while they can be tricky to learn how to apply yourself, they are simple when you know how. If, for some reason, you’ve never tried smoky eyes, then go and do yourself a favour. Whether or not that’s following an online guide or tutorial or popping into your favourite beauty parlour. Where hair is concerned, we’re seeing the next evolution of the bob. There’s usually a new variety to be found each year as this old favourite undergoes a transformation. Last year was a big one for the bob and all the signs are there that 2022 is following suite. There’s bowl cuts, French-girl crops, super slicked back bobs. If you’re looking to restyle this year, you’ll be well on trend with a choppy bob. If that’s not you, there’s also a big trend for plaits – from multiple thin plaits, to one long, lusciously thick one. You may have already noticed that nineties nostalgia is going into overdrive, and for the spring season, it is very much here and very much now. We’re talking body glitter, bandannas and braids. Oh, and denim. Lots and lots of denim. No surprise that the grunge look is remerging with a resurgence of choppy blonde hair and baggy plaid shirts. Whether or not you were too young, or missed it the first time around, the new twenties offers the opportunity to recapture some of the nineties. Whether or not that’s a good thing, we’ll leave up to you. 38-39.qxp_Layout 1 21/03/2022 14:17 Page 2Next >
