Sometimes the beauty trends we see on the fashion catwalks can seem a little too bold for everyday life, but 2015 was a good year for accessible trends. From the Autumn/Winter 2015 shows to the Spring/Summer 2016 fashion weeks, there was a strong leaning towards a natural and attainable makeup look -- here are three of the key trends.
Natural hair
Designers showed an overwhelming appreciation for natural-looking hair this year, which was worn casually in loose waves for a soft, imperfect look. it started with the A/W 15 shows, where Gucci models in Milan sported soft waves, while over in New York Jason Wu also opted for a natural and easy look. It was one of the overriding themes of the S/S16 shows, epitomized by Carolina Herrera, where the models wore their locks loose and heavy, and at Rachel Zoe, who, inspired by the jet-setting ways of the fun-loving "Gypset", sent her models out sporting bohemian waves. In Paris, Chloé and John Galliano opted for a light and wispy effect that emanated nonchalence, while Emporio Armani and Trussardi carried the torch in Milan, opting for a center part for a grown-up vibe.
Eyeliner
Dark eyeliner remained big on the A/W15 runways, with Diane von Furstenberg going smudged and grungy and Saint Laurent getting downright rebellious with a graphic look that almost reached the eyebrows. Things brightened up a little for S/S16, with Dries van Noten highlighting the eyelids with a strip of shiny, metallic liner. At Fendi the liner was thinner and elevated, to resemble a second eyebrow.
Colorful lips
Bold lips were another talking point this year, with strong pouts ruling the A/W15 catwalks. Giorgio Armani Privé's "Shocking" haute couture show in Paris focused on punkish and unapologetic pink, while Roksanda focused on chocolate burgundies. When S/S16 came around all eyes were on Prada's gold disco lip which had everyone talking, but the Italian house wasn't the only label to focus on the pout, but from the bright fuchsia at Giles to the warm oxblood shades at Burberry, loud lipstick that steered clear of classic red was on point.
