On trend makeup

I feel as if I should be posting some content regarding makeup, considering that is my field. I want to begin by posting some insight to the trends that are appearing in makeup at the moment and that seem to be what's 'it' for the year to come.

The one that I think I'll be having the hardest time with is the inclusion of blues and emerald greens on the eye. Bright blue liner, whilst its something that I do happen to have in my collection, is one of my least used products. However, perhaps now is the time to begin experimenting and not stopping at liner either. No, the trend extends to eyeshadows and mascara as well. From the weird and whacky looks that you see on the catwalk, to the ones you could actually recreate at home for a night out. You could apply it over the lid (as seen on the right),  apply it on the lower lashline or as a liquid liner for a pop of colour. Or even invest in a blue mascara and wear it like Cara does (see the left picture). It wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in this trend as typically you should only be keeping your mascaras for around six months and the trend may only last that long anyway.

Next, is one of my all time favourites- the cat eye. I love myself some winged eyeliner, whether you use gel, liquid, or even a kohl pencil with some blending I'm a fan. The winged eye has been a favourite of mine for so long I feel as if I could even say its part of my signature look. You can go full on with it, like on the catwalk, or tone it down for a more every day wear kind of look

And my favourite thing to have come into the spotlight recently is defined brows! I was never really a fan of pencil thin brows, and was devastated when one time that I went to get my brows done and they took off a little too much leaving me feeling sufficiently naked. Not only that but they were also uneven! I've been desperately waiting for them to grow back and they're on their way to being their original selves just in time for this wonderful trend to be setting off! My personal favourite when it comes to brows is the beautiful Cara Delevingne who has the most enviable brows on the planet, and she has the cutest personality to boot! I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of her in the future, as her career seems to be really taking off!

They are my top three outstanding trends that I've been noticing from all of the fashion festivals and collection launches over the last few months. And I especially can't wait to see more focus on brows in the already speeding-by 2013. Can you believe it's already weeks into February? Crazy! Which reminds me, I hope you all had a love filled Valentines day!

Stay beautiful,

Sammie xx
