We know all the top trends for Spring Summer, but what are the beauty trends to compliment these looks? At the start of every season it is always best to do a quick foundation shade check, after summer you may be left with a bit of a tan but after winter you be a bit more pale. Also ageing and changes in skin can alter your complexion. Once that is done it’s time to embrace the new spring summer beauty trends for 2014 ♥

Black eyeliner is a timeless make-up essential, but the way to wear it changes from season to season. This season the trend is to wear it like bold make it heavy and dramatic. The models at Stella McCartney and Missoni wore feline flicks with dramatic cat-eyes. For that added touch of drama, wear black on your water line as seen on the Versace catwalk.

This season is all about the eye make-up, just as well as I am comfortable doing the eyes! Think bright blue cat-eyes using teal and royal blues, keep it subtle yet bold like Marc Jacobs, Many designers such as Giorgio Armani used hues of blue shadow but as a transparent or watered down effect.

Milan Fashion Week started off with very neutral lips but New York was all about the hot lips, keeping them matte but bright so put the gloss away ladies! Mary Katranzou, House of Holland and Antonio Berrardi chose scarlet lips for their shows but other catwalks kept lips candy coloured, think tangerine orange, bubblegum pink and cherry red.

With all the sporting influences in fashion this season, there’s no surprise this trend has come through to beauty too. Yes, it’s about going bare-faced (almost) and showing off that sporty glow. Time to put away the heavy coverage foundations and get out the bb creams, cc creams and tinted moisturisers! Think ‘raw, natural beauty!’

As it’s summer, it is also time to glow inspired by the bronzed skin at Topshop Unique, Donna Karan and Michael Kors. Show off your tan, gently contour and add some subtle shimmer. Let bronzer be your new BFF this spring ♥
