A/W trends - say what?! pt.1

I am fully aware, that in my last (quite possibly ancient) blog, i declared that i had an alternative mistakes blog lined up...in the next few days...

...those next few days came and there was no blog. I only have myself (and my ridiculously busy schedule) to blame. However i now vow, to never make a promise, and break it, again. Especially when it comes to things so important as talking about make-up.

BUT before i write about mentioned subject, I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT A/W TRENDS. Because to begin with i wasn't all that excited for them. But oh jeez i am now. You've got your usual classic form of a red lip going on, BUT ITS THE RETURN of my ultimate favourite, classic, vamp, precise red lip. And not just in your one shade scarlet blood red. Oh no baby, this time she's arriving in a hot scarlet, but bringing herself a vamp burgundy and sent via pillar box. It's the type of lip you will be drinking through a straw with. Because it's high maintenance. And it doesn't come alone. Oh no...lip liner's are making a major comeback too. This is where you get your precision, your sharpness and your sculpture. The look was seen everywhere from Diane Von Furstenberg, to Altuzarra and Giles.

Metallics again, are making their usual comeback. But this time with a raw edge. Lose the TOWIE like glitz, and think more raw, shameless reflection with gunmetal greys, aluminium and rusted bronze. With designers such as Fendi and Chanel rocking the look. When it comes to metallics I instantly go for cream shadow's. To me they feel more real and give a rougher, more life like metallic shine. Instead of the OTT, false shimmer and gleam that powder's often create. They also allow you to work with your fingers, as this really melts the product into the skin, giving you that sexy, smudgy, molten texture.
