Beauty Trend Spies at LFW SS16

And it’s been and gone again… London Fashion week, where as usual the celebs and the fashion forward arrived in Soho in their forces to attend the catwalks for SS16.  But what should women in the beauty world take this time from the designers and muas?

There were some great beauty styles, with looks of all tangents, ranging from subtle neutral tones to striking, loud appearances.  


Also, we’ve had contouring, we've had strobing, but LFW16 saw the introduction of ‘tan-touring’.  Tan-touring is apparently the speedier, efficient equivalent of contouring, without the concealers.  Believe it or not, it actually uses just a simple moisturiser and a hint of fake tan!  A very popular topic at the event, where it seems everyone can get the Kim K bone structure at a more affordable price (and in quick time)!  Celebrity tanning expert, James Read, will be introducing the first ‘tan touring’ kit.  However the routine in the meantime would be to just apply a quality fake tan (something like St Tropez facial Luxe) overnight, to let the solution set on the skin. Then add a touch of moisturiser the next morning and off you go with your glowing, fresh from sleep, 4D face.  A real; ‘I woke up like this’!

Seriously exaggerated, elongated eyelashes were a big hit on the catwalks for Marni, Francesco Scognamiglio and Mary Katrantzou, with Katrantzou actually using deep blue Mascara’s on her models to shake things up a bit.

Other trends were the overstated loud eyes, popular with Marc Jacobs, Missoni and Diane Von Furstenberg.  They each adopted a different tone however, with Furstenberg showcasing intricately neat eyes with a glittery effect, whilst Marc Jacobs opted for the opposing ‘I stayed out all night’ look, using a dark, smokey-eyed palette. Similarly Missoni went for a messy ‘painted’ look, where the models eyes quite literally looked like an artist had streaked a paintbrush over their eyelids...an acquired taste indeed!

The statement lip was again a big hit this year, with Burberry adopting the classic, very British cherry red lip.  Whilst Prada, renowned for their individuality, really turned it up a notch with a metallic gold glittery lip, giving off a sci-fi, futurism effect!

On the whole other side of the spectrum, there were some really neutral, fresh faced looks on the catwalks, from designers such as D & G, Gucci and Jil Sander.  Whilst Michael Kors, House of Holland and Roberto Cavalli created a holiday scene, with bronze tones and golden shades, for those who want that 'straight off the beach' effect. A perfect look for anybody who prefers a minimalistic style.

The big brow and a sharp contour were the main makeup features of the D&G and Christopher Kane catwalks, with the brows surprisingly contrasting from the usual slick styles that were adopted by most other designers.  D&G and Kane went for bushy, un-kept brows as a statement, unique look on their models.

Graphic swoop eyeliner was the biggest craze by Fendi, where it seems that the liner outlined the eyebrows rather than the eyes!  Whilst designers such as Hugo Boss went for a coloured eyeliner to define the eyes of their models, ranging from baby blue to burnt orange.

We've gathered a together a few pics here of the looks to see what you think! Which do you think you'll be rocking next Spring?  Check them out below...
