New York Fashion Week: Beauty Trends To Try 

New York Fashion Week is where we see fledgling fashion and beauty trends emerge, often setting the tone for the shows across the pond in London, Milan and Paris. 

This season, we’ve seen brands experimenting with everything from two-tone lips in punchy brights to surfer chick waves and orange nails are back too! 

Fresh off the catwalk, these are the trends to take note of. 

Bright Matte Lips 

As a contrast to the hi-gloss vinyl lips that are de riguer for this fall/ winter season, spring/ summer 17 will see us returning to matte textures in punchy, bright shades, if the New York runways are anything to go by. The high octane beauty look at Cushnie & Ochs was amped up with the addition of a bold, two-tone lip. 

Orange Hued Nails 

Bold, almost neon orange nails were one of the looks from the Tibi show, which will be the perfect poolside accessory come next season. If the bare nails and nude hues of previous seasons have put you to sleep then orange nails which were the brightest accessory on the Spring 2017 runways are sure to wake you up! 

Surfer Chick Beach Hair 

At Alexander Wang, one of the most watched shows of New York Fashion Week,  a razor was run t through the ends of  18 of the models’ newly shorn (and newly bleached) bobs to achieved a jagged, ‘surfer girl’ finish. Roots were left darker for a sun-soaked effect, while breezy beach waves were created with a smattering of texturizing salt spray. 

Bright Eyes 

A water-clolour wash of eyeshadow is set to be one of SS17’s prettiest make-up trends. Lilacs, pale blues and greens were expertly blended into brighter shades, exaggerated with a black cat's eye flick at Jil Sander. A more dramatic take on the trend at Victoria Beckham, where models were sent down the runway wearing graphic wings of smudged-out shadow in a bolder blue colour, using products from her new collaboration with Estée Lauder.
