In sync with current make up trends, Saima has created three different makeup looks. Get inspired...

Nude Amour:

Minimal, natural makeup is the next beauty revolution. A minimal, natural-looking beauty with a focus on glowing and hydrated skin has been trending for more seasons than we can count, but for autumn/winter 2017 the look has evolved into something more sophisticated and nuanced with minimal eye makeup. This makeup trend will be a favourite this season among fashionistas who like to keep it simple. Focusing on glowing skin, this look is sure to add sophistication to any outfit. This is more than just one of the 2017 makeup trends - this is a forever beauty trend.

Metal Muse:

Metallics are having a serious moment here in 2017. From clothing and accessories to lipstick and eye shadow, it’s safe to say this finish is on trend right now. While matte nudes will never go out of style - they’re a classic for a reason - metallic makeup is definitely a fun departure for when you want to get a little bit more dramatic with your look.

As the wedding season is on, all that glitters is fair game in wedding season. When in doubt, a metallic eye makeup look is the way to go! Add a rich pop of plum for definition to a heavy metal look.

Ways to wear metallic:

  •  Sweep over entire eyelid for a metallic wash
  • Apply to inner corners of eyelid to highlight or to center of lid to create dimension
  • Build shadow for a heavy metallic effect. It can also be applied wet for a more dramatic foiled effect.
  • Mix mulitiple shades to customize your metallic look.

Colour Apoca Lips:

Putting on a bold lip shade is one of the quickest and easiest ways to make a statement. For the bold ladies who dare to don this colour controversy of the season, Two Toned Lips make for the perfect statement look. Opt for complementing or contrasting shades applied on each lip to pull off this audacious look like a boss. As expected, beauty and fashion lovers across the globe are embracing the statement lips trend and it’s time you too jump on the bold lippy bandwagon.
