#1 Colours Galore

Rainbow shades on faces are such an in thing this year. Yes, we mean on eyelids and also, the entire face.

#2 Smoky Eyes

Smoke comes with fire and things are heating up with what we’re seeing on runways. Go beyond the greys and the blues, and let that fire shine.

#3 Bling It On

Glitter is the new black! From facial piercings and nose rings to glitter brows and hair beads, there’s so much dazzle to dabble in.

#4 Brave Blush

Elevate your look with a glamorous blush. We’re talking layers of blushes. When in doubt, go for theatrical.

#5 Lead Lines

Lines are becoming bigger, bolder and more beautiful than ever. Don’t reserve them for the corners of your eyes; try using eyeliner on top of eyeshadow or even in place of it.

#6 Slick Lips

Reds will also be in style but this year try your lips at yellow or even gold metallic foil shades to give folks something to talk about!
