The Autumn/Winter, February London Fashion show this year, was a hotspot for some beautiful hair and makeup looks! I will be narrowing down the top 3 looks, that seems to appear the most out of them all. Hair and makeup plays such an important part within the runway, just as much as the Fashion, and is why it is focused on in the media just as much as the clothing designs are. The looks bring together the outfits, and therefore, the show!
Makeup
Starting with makeup, the look that was seen the most consistently throughout, was, a Natural makeup look. This is often referred to as a “No makeup, makeup look”. Rather than throwing on gallons of makeup, this technique is used to enhance the features of the model, with glowing skin, fluffy eyebrows and gorgeous long eyelashes. The next, quite opposite to the first, was actually a bold eyeshadow look. Bright colours were used on many of the models, to compliment the colours within the outfit, and to create a statement eye look. The bold and bright eyeshadows can be seen on models that have fairly natural looking makeup all but the eye, to make this feature really stand out. Last of all, glitter and gems were seen on many of the models. Used both on the eyes and on the face, this technique was a very clever one for allowing the makeup looks to really stand out and look different from the rest. The glitters and gems were used of different sizes, shapes and colours, looking gorgeous on many different looks.
Hair
When we think of doing out hair in the cold autumn and winter months, it often comes with a sigh and the dread of having to get yourself ready to go out to work. London fashion week really hit the nail on the head for their simple but effective hairstyles this year! The first look was a middle parting. Seen on many of the models, this style of hair left the models face open , allowing the makeup to be seen and gave off fierce and glamorous vibes. The second appeared to be natural waves. This again was very cleverly done from the designers perspective, as it can be easily recreated at home by anyone, and is a perfect go to, quick look for the winter months. The third was a slicked back look. Again, another perfect winter months “lazy” style that can be easily recreated, but looks put together and classy. Seen in pony tails, buns and even let loose with gel to slick back the top.
