Hi Ladies,
Noeleen here from the McElhinneys Beauty Hall - don't forget we have the official opening of our newly refurbished Beauty Halls happening on Saturday, the 24th of February, with the ribbon being cut by none other than Suzanne Jackson, aka So Sue Me, at 2pm!
So, let's get to it! What beauty trends should you look out for, and what is new in Beauty for Spring Summer 2018?
Get the Glitter Bug
If there was one beauty trend that dominated the fashion shows, it was make-up artists’ obsession with all things sparkly, shimmery and shiny. Glittery eyelids were all the rage, along with stick on gems, jewels and rhinestones. There was even glitter on lips - so girls it’s definitely time to shine! If like me, you don’t want to go too glittery, my tip is to just add a glitter pencil to your look and you are bang on trend.
Electro Bright Eyes
Bright, neon colours were on show, with orange, pink, aquamarine and blue! The bolder the better! Again, if you don’t want to go too over the top, try a pop of colour around the eyes over a nude base. Check out Paese, who carry some fabulous colours in shadows and pencils that are incredibly affordable.
The Freehand Eyeliner
Freehand Eyeliner was definitely on trend, as seen on the John Galiano Catwalk Show. The eyeliner flick came in all shapes and sizes - not a look for the faint hearted! A subtler look can look amazing, and you can adjust the wing to suit your eye shape. Check out Lancôme and Shiseido for their amazing gel liners.
Cherry Pop Lips
Summers lip tones are bright and beautiful, with lots of perky pinks, and of course my favourite reds; ranging from coral, to tomato, to raspberry and cherry. High shine and metallic fuchsia is the shade for Spring!
Supermodel Skin
Skin is in! Glowing complexions on a fresh face, almost like a baby’s skin, with a purplish primer blended around the eyes. At Lancôme it’s all about their brand-new strobe, highlight, glow and sculpt custom drops. Get the look by mixing the custom highlight drop with your foundation, or by wearing it on its own.
Now your all set for Spring Summer 2018, be sure to call in for our Official Beauty Hall launch on Saturday the 24th of February at 2pm with Suzanne Jackson!
See you soon,
Noeleen x
