We saw a lot of different trends in 2014. We saw plenty of hair colors, no makeup selfies, baby bangs, and colorful nail arts. Now that fashion weeks are on, a lot of 2015 spring trends are being predicted. We have already seen models walking with damp skin, air dried waves, wet hair looks and bold eye lines in recent shows. Based on some smart talks with top makeup artists, here are the big 5 2015 makeup trends for you this spring. 2015 certainly is going to be a fab season for makeup experiments.

1.   Supernatural Skin

Yes the barely-there look is in. A lot of makeup artists have used bare minimum in many shows this season. You can perfect this look so easily by enhancing your natural beauty and achieving a flawless bare look with minimal/natural makeup. So the next time you’re prepping for a party, just go with a nude foundation or a BB, no mascara, no liner, no eyeshadow, just come-as-you-are. You can try the all new LANCÔME City Miracle CC CreamComplexion Beautifier Daily Defense SPF50 / PA+++, which has it all the illuminator, hydrator, sun protection and complexion care foundation.

2.   All-Over Eyeshadow

Shows like Dior, Fendi and Peter Som have used bright colored stickers made of leather or satin to surround the upper and lower eye lids and make a bold statement. Cream foundations and wipes of lipstick are perfect to achieve this look. Achieve this look with the Pro Longwear Paint Pot from M.A.C. It is cream based and will work perfect with any M.A.C. shadow or liner.

3.   Red lips

Red lips have always been in trend irrespective of the season and irrespective of the era. Just a tint of red lipstick with no other makeup on will enhance your entire look for a perfect party night. Bloody red or deep berry, softly defused around the edges and pressed with a fingertip. You can achieve this look so easy with the Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy CC Lipstick that feels soft and light, gives you color plus care for quite a long and is also available in many other shades.

4.   Rock Star Statements

Weird rock star experiments were seen a lot in this spring season. Some statements such as gothic wings or glam-rock pops of glitter at the corners of or around eyes, choppy bowl cut in a roman style, and brow piercing were seen everywhere this fashion season. So pick any style and make it your own gypset boho statement this spring.

5.   Undone Hair

It feels young and cool to just air dry your hair or leave deconstructed knots and loose. Not done hair rather the polished ponytail is in this spring. You can style perceptible bend at the ends with center partings with any spring’s prints and it will go.

Fashion is what you confidently wear. So wear your confidence and rock any style that pleases you. 2015 fashion is easy and doable all by yourself. So, leave those knots at the end of your hair undone and apply some dark red lipstick on a nude makeup and you are all set for any occasion.

8 Tricks to Look Younger with Makeup

As we get older, our skin starts to lose its natural glow and plumpness. We tend to dab on more foundation and concealer in order to minimize wrinkles and dark spots. However, an overdone makeup can make you look older than you actually are. Try the below tricks to create a younger look.

1. Moisturize

The key to youthful skin is moisture. The more hydrated your skin, the younger it looks. Be sure to slather on moisturizer before applying makeup. It also helps foundation to glide on more smoothly.

2. Sheer Coverage

Tinted moisturizers or lightweight liquid foundations are the best for wrinkled skin. Unlike pressed powder, which settles into lines and makes skin appear older, a light-reflective liquid foundation gives the illusion of a glowing face.

To apply foundation perfectly, use a damp sponge or a foundation brush to dot a small amount all over the face. Run your sponge under water, squeeze out the water, and put a dab of foundation on the back of your hand. Pick up the foundation with the sponge tip and apply it in dabbing motions on your face.

3. Conceal Lightly

As we age, the skin around our eyes become thinner and look more translucent, making eye circles appear darker. This can make you look tired and add years to your face. If you have dark circles or brown spots, instead of dabbing concealer all over the place, which can give a caked-on look, dot a tiny bit on the inner corners of your eyes then blend outward, and on the spots. This will give you a fresher and younger look.

4. Try Highlighter

To re-create that glow in your twenties, dab a very sheer highlighter on your cheekbones, avoiding the brow bones, the apples of the cheeks, and the lips, as it will make your face look greasy. Highlighter help adds a youthful and pretty dimension to your facial contours.

5. Blush Up

Our skin starts to shrink as we grow older, due to the loss of fatty layer, collagen and elastin.
Emphasizing the apples of your cheeks can help draw attention to the fullness of your face. Choose a neutral rose color blush and apply it along the highest points of your cheekbones – it gives your face a bit of a lift.

6. Glittery Eyes

Soft shimmer color is flattering because it lightens up to the face. Pick a creamy neutral shadow, like champagne or rose gold. Dab it over the lids and inner corners of the eyes to wake up the face.

7. Curl Your Lashes

Curling your eyelashes is an easy thing you can do to make your eyes look bigger, and therefore younger. Apply one or two coats of the blackest black mascara you can find, as it will make the whites of your eyes look clearer and let your eyes stand out. Opt for a lengthening mascara that allows you to coat each lash easily and brighten eyes instantly.

8. Plumped Lips

Lips that are soft and plump can lie about how old you really are. But your lips start to get thinner and lip line fades as you age. The best remedy is to apply lip colors that enhance your natural lip tone. Lookfor a neutral rose color or one that is between your natural lip color and a berry shade. That will add a flattering touch to your pouts. Then top it off with a clear gloss to keep lips full and hydrated.
