6 Chic Beauty Trends to Borrow from the Milan Runways
The fashion world has long been a source of inspiration for style and beauty, and the recent Milan runways only serve to enhance its reputation as the capital of ultimate chic and style. Milan fashion week has once again wowed the world’s fashion analysts, personal stylists and even the ordinary fashion enthusiast with the beautiful, creative and innovative designs. Also, the beauty looks to go along with the clothes graced their ramps, and they are bound to leave a lasting impression on anyone who loves makeup and styling.
Here are some of the freshest and chic beauty trends to borrow from the Milan runways:
The Wet Look
The wet look has become increasingly popular on the international fashion runways, and this Milan season saw some beautiful variationsof the style. For a modern, edgy look, opt for short, slicked back hair. For a more feminine effect, try some beautiful centre-parted ‘wet-look’ pony tails. The wet look is super easy to recreate too – All you need is some styling gel or wax, a wide tooth comb, and some hairspray.
Super Sleek Skin
Milan’s runways once again served as proof that super sleek, matte skin is here to stay. While highlighting and strong contouring were present throughout Milan’s runways, this season put extra emphasis on ‘the power of the pore’. To achieve a super sleek canvas to build upon, prep your skin with a primer and set your foundation with a face powder. Cream blushes applied with the fingertips give skin an effortless and natural-looking smudge of colour. Feel free to experiment with different tonal combinations to faux a sun-bathed look.
Shiny Statements
Shiny statement lips have been a growing trend for some time, and this time at Milan, they definitely made some serious statements. To achieve a bold, disco-ready lip, be sure to line and fill in your entire massage. Then, choose a long-lasting, creamy formula lip stick or lip gloss in a bright, jewel-toned shade like fuchsia or cerise pink. To make the look extra special, apply a dab of loose glitter to your lip’s centre for an alluring 3-D effect.
Glamorous Cat Eyes
The timeless cat eye had a major moment throughout Milan’s Spring/Summer 2021 runways, appearing in many interpretations. For a modern twist cat-eye, opt for an angular tail along the outer corner of your eyes which almost touches the eyebrow. To begin creating the look, line the top of your eye with an eyeliner (we suggest liquid) while achieving the desired thickness. Finish off your look with a mascara to instantly open up your eyes.
Strong Brows
Strong, full and powerful brows are part of undeniable beauty trends, and it’s obvious that Milan’s runways caught on. If you’re looking for an easy way to enhance your brows, try an eyebrow pomade for a lasting, defining effect. If you’re feeling more adventurous and in the mood for an upgrade, why not try adding some tiny jewelry pieces to your brows?
Soft Nude & Pink Hues
Soft and barely-there was the attitude to go along with Milan’s makeup looks, but it wasn’t merely invisible. In fact, beyond the pale and neutral hues, some shows featured soft, subtle touches of pink or nude tones all over the face: eyes, lips and cheeks only. Get creative and play with gradient tones, or keep the look classic with a faded blush effect.
The Milan runways have pushed the boundaries of chic beauty trends, giving the world’s fashion set the chance to explore the limits. From wet looks, to strong brows and subtle touches of pink, Milan has set the beauty trends for the upcoming season and given us the opportunity to enhance our own individual look. Get inspired and start creating your own signature Milan-inspired look!
