The good news about what you can expect for fall 2015 when it comes to hair, nails, and makeup is that most looks revolve around things you’ve already seen before, just a bit tweaked, enhanced, and updated, that’s all! Follow along as I walk you through the trends, with some standout looks that epitomize them, which also happen to be my favorites, created by the artists behind renowned brands such as essie, Zoya, NARS, Maybelline, Davines, TRESemmé, and more. There are a total of 12 trends across the beauty categories that I just had to include in this feature; which is your favorite?
Hair:
Various takes on the French Twist
[Orlando Pita’s mastery of the tuck and fold for TRESemmé at Hervé Leger]
[Joseph DiMaggio for Davines wanted to create a cool coif, done, but not too done, so this style didn’t have a distinct part, with everything swept over to one side, rolled it up on top, and bringing it down into an effortless French twist. To get that much-needed volume, he used Davines More Inside This is a Volume Boosting Mousse to the hairline and root only while sectioning the hair.]

Alexandre Herchcovitch: Nails

Carmen Marc Valvo‘s inspiration for hair and makeup at his F/W 2011 show was a ballerina just after a day of rehearsal. The designer teamed up with Ted Gibson Salon’s Devin Toth for a casual take on a pulled back look that is designed to move. The makeup team, lead by Romero Jennings for MAC Cosmetics, gave the models a fresh, wide-eyed look with a pop of blush on the cheek.

To get the look:
Hair Products/Tools: Ted Gibson‘s hair sheet, build it blow-dry spray, beautiful hold hairspray, blow dryer, round brush, 1 inch curling iron
How to: Start with TG’s hair sheet to tame fly aways and eliminate static. Use the blow-dry spray for volume and movement before blowdrying hair using round brush to give volume to the root. Pull back a half-ponytail section of hair, twist close to scalp and pin to secure. Curl bottoms for extra bounce and movement. *Tip* Low on time? Devin says a securing hair in a top knot before bed will give the hair similar movement for those of us rushing out the door in the morning!
Makeup Products/Tools: Mac cream colour base, fascinating eye kohl, cremesheen lip glass, Mac 219 pencil brush, brownish taupe eye shadow
How to: Start with a good, dewy foundation and powder where needed. For the eyes, dust the browningh taupe shade over the lid with a fluffy eye shadow brush and take the color under the eye using a pencil brush like the Mac 219. Use the Fascinating eye kohl (white eye liner) on the bottom rim of the eye for a wide-eyed effect and apply mascara only to the top lashes to emphasize the look. Use your fingers to tap a pinky/peach blush onto the apples of your cheeks and finish off by tapping excess cream blush onto the lips and topping with Mac cremesheen lip glass.
