Catwalk Beauty Trend: Festival Girl

festival girl beautyThe look: sun-kissed & natural

Colour story: bronzed complexion, glowing skin, nude eye makeup, a hint of gloss on the lips

Focus: complexion

Catwalk Appearances: New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017, Paris Pret-a-Porter SS17, Milan Fashion Week SS17

Fashion runways: Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, Alexander Wang, Cornejo, Fetherston

New natural: This Millennial beauty look is unfussy and relaxed. Think tinted moisturizers with a sweep of bronzer. The makeup is carefully edited but good quality.

Fashion look: Boho styling & surf-inspired outfits

Muse: Dree Hemmingway

The quote: “I’d rather be surfing along the Mexico coast right now.” – Dree Hemingway

Music Festivals: Bonnaroo, Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Desert Trip, Lollapalooza, Panorama Festival, Lovebox

The look: “Nothing looks labored or forced. And it should never look like it took you more than five minutes to do.” – MAC Cosmetics

festival girl beautyThe quote: “You want to project realness when what you see all around you is unreality,” says Pro Makeup Artist Alex Box. “Authenticity is fashion’s reply to the perfectionism prevalent in social media. So, studied idealism and heaviness is out: gestural, individual, weightless, unselfconscious and experimental is in.”

The quote: “True beauty is all about style, not physical perfection.” Pro makeup artist Terry Barber.

Pro-tip: “I describe this look as next to nothing, but not literally nothing,” says MAC’s Gordon Espinet. He says it is about carefully selecting a few key items that work for the carefree summer season.

Pro-tip: The best multi-tasking moisturizer for this look is MAC’s Strobe Cream which both hydrates and illuminates skin.

Pro-tip: Since humidity levels and temperatures can be sky high this month, be sure to use waterproof mascaras and liners.

Pro-tip: Feel free to use bronzer as eyeshadow. It will give you that bronzed look without appearing too nude.

Pro-tip: Oil blotting papers are an effective way to control excess sebum.

    Its like you learn my mind! You seem to grasp a lot about this, such as you wrote the e book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.
