Tab tries: Autumn’s newest beauty trends
Some make you look silly, some make you look scary. Oh fashion, what’s new.
The world of fashion is a wild one, with each season spewing out overwhelmingly many different ways to wear skirts, sequins or eyeliner. Often they’re outright impossible looks off the runway. We tried some new A/W14 beauty trends for a change, according to Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, to see if they’re any more feasible.
1. The technicolour eye
“I’m like a tropical bird”
While it tries to reinvent the trusty eyeliner beauty look, it exudes the feel of fancy dress a bit too much for daily use.
Overenthusiastic eyeshadow
This one on the other hand made me feel like I was giving myself a serious case of black eye.
Verdict: Ideal for distracting your tutor when your essay is shit but it’s your turn to read it out.
2. Minimal effort
All pale e’erythang
The ‘no make up’ make-up has been trending for a while but this is probably as easy as it gets. Literally all you do here is put foundation all over your face – including lips.
Verdict: Great if you want to enhance the effect that all-nighter has had on your look.
3. Spider lashes
Arachnid eyes
Easily achieved with some dried up mascara.
Verdict: Careful not to pair with pink eyeshadow – otherwise risk looking like you’ve just had a cry.
4. Metallic
Space odyssey
Fun to look at until the sun came out and I blinded myself whilst putting the varnish on. Variations on the trend include metallic lips or metallic eyelids; at least then you’re blinding someone else.
Verdict: If scary is what you’re going for.
5. Mini-plaits
#throwback to primary school
They’re much easier to execute on someone else than on yourself, that’s for sure.
Verdict: After a cost-benefit analysis of time spent redoing each messed up plait vs. the end effect: worth it.
With thanks to Lizzy Thompson for being an amazing help and model.
