beauty: spring 2015 makeup, nails, hair

I don’t know about you ladies but i love staying in touch with the latest trends and fashions, makeup is no different. So here i am, giving you the latest in makeup for 2015, ENJOY!

PERFECT PLUM- 

01-plum-vera-wang-w724

This rich, romantic shade was a favorite on the spring 2015 runways, but it couldn’t be more gorgeous to wear right now, as winter sets in. At the Vera Wang show, makeup artist Lucia Pieroni was inspired by mystical wood nymphs when he brushed models’ lids with this dreamy dark purple (he used a not-yet-launched Cle de Peau shadow quad, Fairy Dust). I also like Mally Beauty City Chick Smoky Eye Kit ($24, ulta.com).

Another way to wear plum: on your lips. It’s a little edgy and most girls think it’s too dark, however, it friggin’ ROCKS! I love love LOOOVE Urban Decay’s liner and lipstick in Envy. You could also try Maybelline Color Elixir in Dashing Orchid ($6,target.com).

NEGATIVE SPACE MANICURES-

Our favorite nail trend of the moment—graphic polish designs that let a little naked nail show through—took over the runways for spring. Another idea: Paint just your half-moons with polish and leave the naked nail showing. Taking that concept to the next level, models’ mint negative-space manis at Charlotte Ronson had a graphic flip-flopped effect.

BRAIDS RETWISTED: THE BRAID 2.0-

The braid is a classic go-to hairstyle that shows sophistication as well as neatness. Now ladies, it’s the 21st century, we don’t want to feel like a little girl who just got out of the bath with our braid, so thank goodness we have some new options for the ever ready BRAID.

Good news if you finally mastered the fishtail: Braids are one trend that’s not going anywhere. Stylists, led by Nick Irwin for TIGI, made three sections in back, plaited the middle one, then wrapped the other two sections around it to create these bohemian, deconstructed braids at Mara Hoffman. The hair was also secured in several spots with elastics, then pulled loose, for a segmented look.

For a lovely update to the basic braid (seen here at Marissa Webb), do a deep side part, sweep your braid over one shoulder, and flatiron the ends sleek. Pull touchable pieces loose around your face for a romantic finishing touch.

The deceptively simple-looking braid at Donna Karan (left) required extensions and several extra sets of hands—but you could do a basic three-strand version with similar sleekness, like the one seen at Peter Som (right).

14-braids-bibhu-mohapatra-h724

There were many complex braid hairstyles at Fashion Week that would never work off the runway, but Bibhu Mohapatra’s look (created by L’Oréal Professionnel Artist Amit Abraham) was a completely wearable idea for day-old hair; wind your braid into a bun and tie on a scarf for an easier version, perfect for Sunday brunch.

BLACK LIQUID EYES-

Blackest-black eyeliner is an absolute must have in the makeup world so if you dont already have some, get some and start playing with those wings ladies! For night, try tight-lining all the way around your eye with liquid eyeliner for maximum drama. The trick with the thick liner is to keep the rest of your face as close to natural as possible. Keeping the inner corners bright makes eyes look large and open.

GET LOW (WITH YOUR PONYTAIL)-

The best thing about low pony’s are they are made to look messy, or you could also make them sleek and shiny. You could also use a second hair elastic at the nape of the neck, for an elegant looped effect.

BABY SOFT NAIL POLISH-

After the era of darkest of the darks nail polishes, came the big, bold, patterned, studded nails, now everything is toning down. Next in nails is baby soft nail polish colors, the colors that are barely there.

BOLD RED LIPS-
