Back in the day we would look to the catwalks for new trends and almost slavishly adopt them. Those days are long gone and today we are more interested in bespoke beauty.
While we may take inspiration from looks shown at Fashion
Week, we tend to take an idea and put our own unique twist on it. Beauty, as
they say, is in the eyes of the beholder. Whether you like to go for
conventional or unconventional looks, it does not matter.

| MAC Cream Colour Base in Shell |
Natural make-up never goes out of fashion. According to Mac, for spring/summer 2018, it should be about looking healthy. In other words, nobody should see that you are wearing make-up.

Think translucent bases and touches of concealer that are
well-blended into the skin. A hint of blusher warms up the complexion. To add a
glow, try a cream blush such as MAC Cream Colour Base in Shell (£19) a
barely-there nude. Pair with creamy shades of lipstick and eye shadow.
Says Alex Box for Mac Cosmetics: “The colour looks as if it
is coming from within the skin, so you don’t perceive it as being achieved by
products.”
If you don’t suit creamy shades and fancy something slightly
pinker, check out Bobbi Brown.
It has a good range of cream blushes that melt into the skin and can be used on
the lips as well.
A good one is Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks in
Powder Pink (£22). It is a pretty subtle colour that will liven up your complexion.
You should opt for shades that work with your natural skin
tone to get the best results.
