Beauty Trends From NYFW Spring '15: Makeup, Hair and Nails

Beauty-NYFW-SS-15
I realize it’s a little early to be thinking about next spring’s makeup trends now, but New York Fashion Week Spring ’15 just wrapped and I can’t help but obsess about some of the beauty, hair and nail trends we can expect. After all, the runways are where the trends take shape.
When it comes to makeup, the most popular look by far was the no makeup look and dewy, flawless skin. Bold eyebrows still carry over from fall ’14 as do heavily black lined eyes. Two new beauty trends that emerged were the a more muted and subtle smokey eyes in all shades such as brown, green and shades of purple. Another beauty trend I am just wild about are natural pink-stained lips.

Regarding hair on the runway, the styles were all over the place. Braids are back in every form. I’m talking, side, messy, updos and buns. So is the messy, I just got out of bed style. I personally loved the knotted styles shown by Rag & Bone and 3.1 Phillip Lim. The one thing we saw almost everywhere, however, was a return to the center part.

Nails NYFW Spring 2015
Great news for those of us over nail art is that, well, the trend is pretty much done. There were a few exceptions, but most of the nail art was one color over a nude base. Even though French manicures have been out for a while, the reverse French with the area around the cuticle highlighted, is intriguing. The biggest nail trend of the season though seems to be the nude nail in pinks, whites and beiges.
