Being such fashion forward types, we’re already thinking about Spring/Summer and what will be in vogue – well, it beats being cold and miserable!
If you’re too nervous to try next season’s fashion treats already though, why not dip your toe into Spring/Summer 2010 with some simple beauty updates? We’ve found our favourite looks from the catwalk shows, which will mean you’re one step ahead of the beauty pack.
First up is luminous skin. Great skin is something that never goes out of fashion but it appeared on several catwalk shows including the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer show. British make-up artist Pat McGrath created the glowing looks with CoverGirl cosmetics (not available in the UK) but we love MAC’s Strobe Liquid (£21) for that healthy, gorgeous glow.
To go with that glow, the big beauty trend for Spring/Summer is natural lipstick, as seen on the models at the Caroline Herrera show. We love L’Oreal’s Made For Me Natural range – it has a shade of nude suitable for every skin type, and is available from both Superdrug and Boots.

At the other extreme of the make-up scale, we’ll be sporting pink eye shadow as seen at the Galliano and Diane Von Furstenberg shows. It is a trifle scary, especially compared to the natural brown and greys, which have been in vogue for so long, but it definitely helps make a statement. Start off gently and add more colour as your confidence grows! Our favourite shade is Urban Decay’s Hot Pink (£13.50), available to buy from House Of Fraser.
Of course, beauty isn’t just about the face. There were lots of complicated up-dos and braids on the Spring/Summer catwalk, but our favourite hair trend is possibly also the easiest – and great for all hair lengths. Marios Schwab sent his models down the runway with slicked back hair, creating a strong, simple style. To achieve this look, choose a shine infused product such as MOP’s Glisten high shine pomade, £10.95, from Debenhams. A good comb is also essential for this look – we like Boots Salon Performance Tail Comb, a bargain at £2.10.

Finally, if you’re looking for a way to add a touch of glamour to your look, why not try some nail art? It’s huge with celebrities such as Katy Perry and Rihanna and is a great way to stand out from the crowd. If you can’t afford a trip to a nail bar such as Wah Nails, then do-it-yourself with these fabulous nail art stickers, £2.99 from Boots. Just stick on and go!
