The Biggest Beauty Trends of Fashion Month
Fashion Month was always about pushing the envelope when it comes to style. From the runway to Instagram, designers, makeup artists, and models had some beautiful looks with unexpected elements. As the temperatures cool down, we look back at the collections to get beauty inspiration and insight. Read on to find out what were the biggest beauty trends of fashion month.
Skin
This fashion month was a reminder that skin is in. Rather than concealing blemishes and scars, many creators embraced an au naturale look, if only because assembling new Spring/Summer looks was not a priority. Creators leaned into skin as the ultimate form of accessory, pairing minimal makeup looks with an array of silhouettes.
Graphic Eyeliner
Graphic liner had a major moment at fashion month. Instead of sticking it to the classic cat eye, makeup artists opted for straight flicks, zig zags, and more whimsical shapes. Use a trusty liquid eyeliner pen like Maybelline’s Superstay liner for easy precision to create your own graphic look.
Electric Hues
No look was complete without vibrant hues this season. Glam bling, electric blue eyeshadow, and rich purple mascara were seen all over the runways. For a dramatic finish, makeup artists combined these shades with a few yellow accents for added energy. This look is perfect for a fun night out with your quarantine squad, with safety measures taken of course!
Glossy Lips
Glossy lips had their moment this season, with makeup artists and models opting for jelly-like finishes in a range of tones. Peach, pink, and red seemed to be the go-to shades of choice, popping against all types of skin tones. To get the look, use NYX’s Whip It Good Plumping Lip Gloss, which is both vegan and long lasting.
Statement Brows
Statement brows are here to stay and this season was no exception. Creators took advantage of their bold frames, playing with interlocking brows in circles, triangles and more. There was also an emphasis on powerful arch shapes, with soft and sharp lines featured on the runways. For those who want to try out this look at home, use an angled brush and the bar of soap technique.
Alternative Hair Styling
This fashion month, we saw an array of unconventional hairstyles. From sixties shags to futuristic top knots and beehives, it’s clear that the beauty industry is ready to embrace alternative looks. If you choose to try this look out at home, be sure to reach out to professionals beforehand to avoid any disaster kits.
Versatile Wigs
The idea of a versatile wig is nothing new, but this season the concept was re-imagined and explored in greater detail. Whether the look was curly or straight, makeup artists used wigs to step up their game and create show-stopping looks that were both vivid, daring, and full of life.
Textured Haircuts
Textured hair was also a huge hit this fashion month, with editors and models alike sporting choppy layers and asymmetrical cuts. These cool vibes were achieved using matte hair products, like Davines Texturizing Dust and Glossy Finish Spray. Creative, effortless, and ultra-modern, the movement is certainly helping to bring some positivity in a time when it’s needed most.
This fashion month was a celebration of beauty and experimentation. We saw skin take center stage, while flashes of electric blues and reds made their way down the runways. There was an emphasis on alternative hair styling and versatile wigs, while makeup artists used graphic eyeliner and statement brows to round out their looks. All in all, we have plenty of looks to draw inspiration from this season!
