Happy Autumn mamas! With the weather turning and new season styles flooding the shops, what better time to shake up your makeup routine and try out a few new makeup ideas!

 

Moody Lips

makeup trends: moody lips

OK, so going a shade or two darker for autumn isn’t exactly a revolutionary move. But this season is set to take the look a step further with a fantastic array of moody lipsticks. Take your pick from deep berry shades, through dusky purples verging on black! Work the look with minimal makeup during the day, then vamp it up with a sweep of eyeliner for the evening.

Black is the New Black

And when it comes to eyeliner, designers and makeup artists agree this season that black truly is the new black. Whether you opt for a subtle sweep at the lash line, classic wings, or something more bold and graphic, the application is up to you – just so long as it’s black!

Natural Glow

Balancing out those dramatic eyes and lips, this season’s complexion is all about the natural glow – great news for expectant mamas! Put those contouring brushes away for a while; all you need this season is a touch of highlighter where there should be highlights and subtle blush where you might naturally flush.

Maternity Trench Coat

 

Glitter for Grown Ups

Precious Metallics

metallic makeup trend

 

From Rodarte’s high shine bronzed lips to Donna Karan’s sultry silver eye shadow, the models strutting down the AW14 catwalks were bedazzled with sparkling metallics. This season try vamping up the classic smokey eyes look with a dusting of shimmering gold or silver eye shadow. Work this look with a chic black outfit, and match your jewellery with your metallic makeup!

Crazy Colour

Colourful makeup trend

 

Don’t wave goodbye to your bright summer shades just yet; vibrant neon colours applied in bold painterly strokes are set to take the colder seasons by storm this year! Dior’s sparkling blue eye shadow was a sight to be seen on the runway, and Chanel’s sweeping eyeliner styles in neon pink, teal and lime green stole the show. Dare to be different this autumn and accent your eyes with strong sweeping colours!

Wear it with:

Evergreen & Navy Nursing Wrap Dress

 

Retro 60’s Style

Retro makeup trends

 

Every new season draws inspiration from fashion decades gone by, and this autumn is all about the swinging 60’s! The wide-eyed lash-tastic looks at Versace, Rochas and Gucci were created by building up the model’s lashes with multiple coats of mascara and several sets of falsies. Rock a 60’s inspired look this season with doll-like long lashes, a bold liquid eyeliner flick and a striped maternity tunic!

Wear it with:

Blue & Black Striped Cowl Neck Tunic
Faux Leather Detail Maternity Treggings

 

Off Duty Ballerina

Soft pink makeup trend

Inspired by the Ballet Russe; the hair at Diane von Furstenberg was tied back in classic ballet buns, and the soft makeup in pastel shades of lilac, pink and nude created an ultra feminine look. This style is perfect for softening an androgynous trouser suit at the office, and will look fantastic paired with those iconic pink coats (which by the way, are stylish as ever this season!)

Wear it with:

Blush Pink Wool & Cashmere Luxe Maternity Coat
Tailored White Cropped Maternity Trousers
