TOP 5 BEAUTY TRENDS FROM HEINEKEN LAGOS FASHION AND DESIGN WEEK 2017

Fashion week has come and gone but the provocative beauty moments and inspiration gleaned from it is certainly here to stay. From the high-voltage statement makeup of super bold lips and inverted lined eyes to the understated glamour of barely -there brows, beauty enthusiast had a gamut of inspiration to pick from. Of course the body diversity displayed on the run/walkways of the shows proved to the style and beauty cynic that inclusivity has indeed come to stay and I fully endorse it.
Below are six beauty take-home trends from the just concluded Heineken Lagos Fashion and Design week 2017.

1. Big bold lips: Super bold lips are back with bang and red is not the colour of choice. Think neutral and earth tones and you will be right on the mark.

2. Mazi-nude: Minimalist beauty lovers have something to smile about as the barely-there nude makeup is back in vogue. Think flawless and glowing facial skin (with the help of your favourite foundation) and light skin-tone matte shadows, lips stain and gloss.

3. Extreme long hair: the emphasis is on super long length in both extensions and attachments. The seeming hairstyle of choice is ponytail.

4. Individualistic Statement eyes: from come hither glances to shady feline slants the statements eye makeup trend is back with a smoky tilt.  The emphasis is all about dressing your eyes to the max, so break out those shadows and eyeliners and get creative.

5. Body –positivity and Diversity: From plus-sized models to body conscious fashion staples featured on the runways, size diversity is no longer just a movement but a new beauty trend. So are you small, medium or plus-sized and was feeling self-conscious about your size? Its’s time to fully embrace your size and step out in style because it is now all about body positivity and diversity.
