Elite stylists and designers have revealed the latest beauty looks to the public, so to all you beauty lovers: this is a must read. The newest hair and makeup looks are here, and the result? A futuristic and modern takeover.

To begin:

1. Sleek, silky, and touchable ponytails were showcased on many models to convey a “simple yet luxurious” feel, says designer Ralph Lauren. To get this stylish hairstyle, it is recommended to blow-dry hair for added volume and then straighten over any frizz for a controlled look. When draping hair back into an elastic, be sure to spray, and comb hairspray throughout the hair. Pencil on some thick black liner, and this look is complete! 

2. Strokes of silver shadow shined across models lids, brightening the eye for a dewy look. Silver eye shadow offsets busy patterned clothing, such as gingham or plaid prints. This way, equal attention was brought to both the clothing and makeup. Silver smokey eyes and lined tear ducts were also seen as part of sleek hairstyles, metallic garments, and fur vests.                                                

3. Anyone in need of a manicure? Before choosing your regular hue, classic red polishes, or French, ask for gold tips! Clean and polished gold tipped fingers are dainty, elegant, and trendy. For a more edgy feel, create a vertical line of silver polish across the nail bed, this is known as a Negative-Space manicure, shown below. Also, did I mention these nail trends are both perfect excuses to treat yourself to a manicure?

4. All women know that lipstick is their best friend, but do you know which shade is the latest and greatest? Besides the ever-so classic red lip, plum lips have temporarily stolen the spotlight. A fresh and wearable mixture of deep purple, red, and dabs of pink come together to create the perfect plum. 

5. In contrast to the sleek and sexy ponytail up do, disheveled windblown braids also earned raving credibility and reviews. Designer Michael Kors revealed “…the secret to getting that perfectly messy hair texture for the braids was dry shampoo – a lot of dry shampoo.” The carefree attitude and effortless texture radiating from the braids creates a casual feel and unique spark for any look.  

6. Presence of a thick, full, and well-shaped brow is arguably the strongest feature of anyone’s face. Simply put, eyebrows define your face. Bold brows are not only in, but also an important aspect to your facial structure. If the shape and length of your natural brow line is thin, look into buying an eyebrow pencil similar to the shade of your hair to add fulfilling color, thickness, and length. After all, you know how the saying goes: don’t let anyone with bad eyebrows tell you how to live your life.

From hair, brows, and eyes, to lips and nails, these six beauty trends are sure to amplify your style and keep you looking your absolute best.
