Now that the fashion weeks are upon us, what a better time could we think over to run a little recap on the beauty trends for the autumn and winter seasons. Whilst the fash pack firmly have their minds set on spring, let us take you through the key hair and beauty looks to try now!

Trend: Gentle & Girly
Seen at: Blumarine
Soft, shiny and well groomed hair was spotted all over the catwalks, but Blumarine gave their girls a touch of glamour. Glossy waves paired with a grown-up, feminine side-parting were styled and based on real-life style. Now if this one isn’t wearable, we don’t know what is.

Blumarine 2015

Trend: Fresh Faced
Seen at: Balmain
If ever there was a trend that we could never tire of, it would be the bare-faced beauty look. What could be better than a fresh feel to the skin and that enviable no-makeup makeup look? Nothing – and Balmain know it. With brushed, natural looking brows, dewy skin and a subtle pink lip, effortless never looked so good.

Trend: Braided
Seen at: Mara Hoffman
We knew braids were in for summer (remember our blog post here), but we’re so excited that they’re back for winter. With an emphasis on the pre-braided extensions used for the halo effect, Tigi were the creative efforts behind this look and worked their magic once again. Perhaps a perfect braided crown will be the look for you this autumn?

Trend: Smokey Eye
Seen at: Diane von Furstenberg
If not, we know what might be. Yes, that’s right, the smokey eye is here to stay. We all love a smokey eye at the best of times, but winter is the perfect time to try it out. The DVF show was the perfect playground for Pat McGrath to show that the look is here to stay. With a nude lip and simple, slick back knots (styled by TRESemme), it’s the perfect party look for the season ahead!

Trend: Carefree
Seen at: Topshop Unique
And if the no-makeup makeup look wasn’t good enough, how about carefree hair? As a season that triumphs the effortless look when it comes to beauty, the autumn and winter months should be styled with tousled, flyaway locks. Topshop Unique added texture to the hair to complete the look – bedhead never looked so good.
