Spring beauty trends report

ELLE Canada finds the hottest beauty looks this spring and tells you how to create the look!

By Michelle Villett


5. Considered brow
• Seen at
Zac Posen, Rocco Barocco, Loewe.
• The look “The eyebrow is going through a rebound,” says Carrasquillo. “It's being reconsidered as a way to express who you are rather than through a lot of eye makeup. The perfectly groomed brow with a strong lip is a big look for spring.”
• How to get it Start with a professional brow shaping -- keep your arches on the full side -- and add depth with a brow pencil or powder in a shade lighter than your hair colour. Clear brow mascara adds staying power.



6. Soft metal
• Seen at
Oscar de la Renta, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent.
• The look “This is the new version of metallic,” says Espinet. “It's not obvious; rather, it's like taking a skin tone and making it more metallic on the eyes or lips. It's almost '70s -- think Lauren Hutton.”
• How to get it Let your skin tone be your guide to choosing the most flattering hue. Light complexions suit soft shades of gold and silver, while darker skin tones can pull off deep coppers and bronzes. Sweep colour over the lids, cheekbones or lips.



7. Whiteout
• Seen at
D&G , Erin Fetherston, Hash.
• The look “White has become a really important part of makeup,” says Espinet. “But you're not creating a ghastly effect; rather, it's about white eyeliner, white eyeshadow or white highlights [on the contours of the face].”
• How to get it White is most wearable when paired with a fresh complexion, so start with a tinted moisturizer and peachy blush. Apply white liner on the inside rim of the lower lashes, or dust a frosty shadow from lash line to crease. Black mascara keeps the look grounded.
