The words 'beauty trend' often conjures up one image - a model walking down a fashion runway sporting loud makeup and a crazy hairdo. In reality, that's not always true. There really are beauty trends which are easy to try and not terrifying to pull off. And no, we aren't making this up! Give these 5 completely practical beauty trends a look and see for yourself.
1. Smudged Eye Makeup
The difference between your smudged makeup in a sudden downpour and the lived in eyeliner look that's spotted on the runway is the way it's created. While eyeliner with a perfect wing is great and all, smudged eyes give a sexy smolder without looking like you spent 3 hours at your dresser. Take your smudged eye makeup look to your next night out on the town with your girls!
2. Dark Lips
It isn't only goths that are favouring the deep, dark lips - it's now a majority of beauty lovers too. From earthy browns to intense maroons to even stark black, women are choosing to highlight their puckers with a dark coat that has all eyes on them. Take your dark lips to that cocktail party on the weekend.
3. Freckles
While freckles have long been hidden under layers of concealer and foundation, this year they've not only been flaunted but also been faked. Faux freckles are not only a celebration of perfectly imperfect beauty but also, a sun-kissed visage that looks like you've spent your summer in the Hamptons. Any more reason to try them out? Take your freckles to a ladies luncheon this Sunday.
4. Wet Hair
With the likes of Kendall Jenner and Deepika Padukone pulling off the slicked back, high sheen hairstyle, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be flaunting your wet locks when you're just out of the shower. It's a hairstyle that's high fashion, extremely trendy and super sexy with a cocktail dress - try it already! Take your wet hair to a dinner date!
5. Orange Eye Makeup
Tangerine tones have made themselves well acquainted to our beauty routines by now, especially on our lips. So now, they are experimenting in the eye area too. Orange, vermillion hues took over the eye makeup area with sunset eyes and make for a striking, wearable look. Now here's a makeup statement we can't get enough of! Take your orange eye makeup to a festive function.
