Beauty trends to look out for in S/S 2014

January is over, and while many of us are trying to survive the wet, cold winter, we must remember a new season is right round the corner. And with a new season means new trends. Here we decided it was time to cheer you up and get you ready for the forthcoming spring/summer season. So we’re putting on our psychic hats and foretelling the future, to bring you the next big beauty trend predictions for S/S 2014.

Bold red lipstick

Bold matte red lips played centre stage at London Fashion Week S/S 2014, especially at the Antonio Berardi show. However, when it comes to red lipstick, you can’t really go wrong. It’s a timeless classic every woman should own. It oozes mystery and adds a little something to every look. Easy to apply, available everywhere, red lipstick is the one and true beauty product that never goes out of style.

Bushy eyebrows

We all have the great Cara Delevingne to thank for this beauty trend becoming huge. Long gone are the days of lusting after thin, primed eyebrows; now everyone is embracing the bushy side of the brows and it has never been easier to do. Simply grow them (the fuller the better), shape them to the style you want and then let nature run its course.  Cara, we thank you.

Crazy nails

This is one of the creative and crazy beauty trends of S/S 2014. When we say crazy nails, we mean crazy nails.  This trend is not only one of the most creative but most fun, as it gives you a great opportunity to experiment with your nails. And it seems the rest of the world loves this trend too. There are beautiful pictures all over Instagram of people’s crazy, creative and unique nails which proves that this is one trend that is here to stay. So go wild with this look: patterns, prints, colours and jewels… we want to see it all on your nails. Have fun.

Bridesmaid hairstyles

Taking a cue from weddings and bridal parties everywhere, the bridesmaid look has been sweeping its way across the red carpet, catwalks and magazines. And it’s clear to see that everyone is definitely obsessed. And as one of the big hair and beauty trends of the season, you can get in on the act too. From Charlize Theron’s sleek chignon and Blake Lively’s amazing plait, to Elizabeth Olsen’s soft curls and Carey Mulligan’s chic up-do. These are some of the soft bridesmaid looks out there as you can always add your own personally touch, with sparkly headbands, pretty gems and flowers. With so many gorgeous bridesmaid hairstyle ideas to try out, it proves to be a perfect look for not only weddings but summer overall.  

Now you’ve got your beauty trends and we’re sure you’ve already been online to buy those gladiator sandals for your holiday, which means you are armed and ready for S/S 2014. And don’t worry, summer is only a few months away and these beauty trends have just brought you that little bit closer to the sunshine.
