I’m sure I’m not alone here, but there’s nothing better than
having a makeup clear out, getting rid of last season’s bronzers and
shoppers
for a new palette for a new season. And since summer here in
South Africa
is, well, pretty much over, I’ve stocked up on some
essentials for the gloomy
months ahead.
Here are some of the trends to follow for this season!

We’re going back to basics for A/W this year, it’s all about natural,
fresh-faced skin – the dewy glow. Models at Versace,
Phillip Lim and Dolce & Gabbana had flawless skin with illuminated
cheek bones.
Apparently we all have this natural radiance
(mine must be hibernating for winter) so turn to Clarins for their new
Energize range. Dewy skin here I come!

I’m a bit skeptical when products lay claims to all kinds of skin
miracles, but the new Energize range from Clarins is incredible I hear.
You start the day with the Daily Energizer cleansing gel, followed by the
Wake Up Booster which gives an instant lift to tired skin.
The Daily Energizer cream gel (with SPF 15) absorbs quickly without
leaving skin feeling gloopy and you can instantly see the difference.
You can then top up during the day with the Beauty Flash Balm,
which can go straight over makeup. It’s literally been labelled
the “miracle product” by every glossy and it is that special!

With skin prepped, you can use the Clarins illuminator in colour Rose
which reflects light naturally, accentuates contours.
This together with filled in brows creates a strong fame for your face.
Autumn/Winter is all about spidery lashes, and for me the hero
mascara is Givenchy’s Demesure Audacious Lashes – add lots of
layers for a full, false-lash effect. And with doe eyes you need
low blush, a trend picked up from the models at Marc Jacobs.

The great thing about “barely there” makeup is that its a cinch to take
this look from day to night. Taking the lead from the models at
D&G and DKNY reach for your liquid liner to create the classic sixties flick.
My fave is Avroy Shlain’s liquid liner which makes bat-winged eyeliner
super easy to create.
And then for lips, think rouge, the redder the better.
If lipstick’s not your thing, the new range of lip stains
(that are essentially make-up koki pens) from Maxfactor,
Maybelline or Revlon act just as well.
