Colour Forecast Autumn/Winter 2017

LIPS
While eyes require a steady hand, lips
aren’t so perfect. Forget the lined and
defined pout, the ‘imperfect-perfect’ lip is
all about a lived-in look, as seen at Preen
and Topshop Unique. The colour of
choice? A bold berry or ruby red carry on
the trend for all things romantic.

EYES
It’s time for you and your clients to brush
up on your winged liner skills as the classic
combination is back. Rachael Keeley,
professional make-up artist and elite educator
at High Definition, says: “We’ve seen this
staple get bigger and bolder at Chloé, Prada
and Versace shows.” For a statement flick,
Rachael suggests the High Definition Kajal.
RRP £19
NAILS
“This season, black is
the new black,” states
OPI co-founder and
brand ambassador,
Suzi Weiss-Fischmann.
“Expect to see many
hues of this shade,
with sophisticated
undertones of brown
and grey, as well
as blue hues, with
denim remaining a
major trend.” The
Iceland collection by
OPI (above) perfectly
encapsulates this trend
as it features a range
of high-fashion shades,
including blue-grey,
khaki green and the
timeless deep hues of
blue, brown and berry.

Neville introduces
winter white
Neville Hair & Beauty is
going whiter than white this
season with its new service,
Winter White. Strong, clean
and bold, it strips hair
colouring back to basics and
is centred around carrying
the tone from root to tip.
BROWS
It’s the season of the brow
and while bleached is a look best
left for the catwalks, bold brows
that still look natural are here to stay.
“We’re seeing more of a focus on soft,
textured brows that look incredibly
natural,” says High Definition’s
Rachael Keeley. “I love to use
the High Definition Browtec
pencil to create the illusion
of hair strokes.”
