Summer Makeup Trends

Red Carpet Beauty

Red carpet makeup looks inspire us to head into the bathroom and try out the trends...on the menu this summer are classic cat-lined eye and red lip combos.












The Bronze Smoky Eye

Best paired with a popsicle-stained lip, this look is subtle, but formal — a rare dynamic for an evening makeup effect.Blending well is the key to any smoky eye and a bright pink or red stain on the lip will subtly enhance the drama of your gaze. When choosing colours be sure to think of your skin tone and choose browns and soft golds to suit your complexion.

 The Bold Brow
A structured brow can bring a minimally made-up face from meh to formal. Start by plucking stray hairs carefully (see a professional for threading or waxing if you're unsure). Use a sharp pencil in a color two to three shades darker than your natural brow hue to define your brow, making it thicker and more angular than your natural arches. Set your brows with clear mascara or a brow gel.





Big Lashes

Get it, girl. Red carpet looks are all about bringing your eyelash 
A-game. To create extra-lengthy lashes, first curl them with a lash curler, then dust a layer of translucent powder on your lashes for volume before applying two coats of  mascara. Look down and brush down for the first coat; look up and brush up for the second.

The Poppy Lip

Poppy is the perfect blend of pink, red and orange and packs a major color punch. It's a hue that complements nearly every skin tone, thanks to its mix of warm and cool undertones. Rocking a poppy lip solo gives a navy or black dress attitude. 

For a little more oomph, tightline your eyeliner in a soft mahogany.





The Punchy Pink Lip
A punchy pink lip is more wearable than red and looks great with a semi-dramatic eye to a minimal one. I like to wear a pink lip with a shimmery beige lid, some thick liner in a rich brown and softly blushed cheeks.

Peachy-Pink Cheeks
For more drama on your cheeks than a soap opera star, all you need is ELES COSMETIC MINERAL BLUSH in Lush FLIRT and a blush brush. Sweep on a few layers (I'd say three to be safe, as it's sheer) for the ultimate '80s-inspired bright flush.

Lattouf Hair and Day Spa -"The hottest hair trends for the year are to be a blast from the past"

 

The return of retro is here at Lattouf...with the Great Gatsby lighting up the silver  screen, many of this year's hair, fashion and beauty trends relate to the roaring twenties, many celebrities such as Tyra Banks and Katy Perry and fashion parades are sporting the elegance and glamour of this era; also looks seen on the catwalks of fashion heavy weights Louis Vuitton, Anna Sui and Chanel and gracing the covers of top fashion magazines across the globe.

This world wide trend is influencing a new generation to the world of the finger-waved bobs and bouffant curls. Which means it is a great time to try romantic pin curls, finger waves and romantic up styles for your next event.

The creative team at Lattouf Hair & Day Spa have taken inspiration from these looks to create a modern and Marilyn Monroe-esque take on the look using retro pedestal dryers and modern tools to artfully construct looks that give you a contemporary version of the classic retro vibe. These looks work best on mid-length locks.   

Although it's not just women who have fallen in love with this look...celebrities have also fallen for Gatsby's slicked back style with stars such as David Beckham and Daniel Radcliffe choosing groomed retro styles.

Taylor Swift's Sexy Rolling Stone Cover Get Her Look

Taylor Swifts Smokey eye on Rolling Stone Cover 

Taylor Swift

How to get her look and what not to do: 

We love them. You only have to google “smokey eye” and you’ll see hundreds of thousands of blog posts and YouTube Vids showing you how to create the look, so obviously you love them too!

It’s easy to create but it’s also very easy to get wrong!! As these two starlet’s prove….erm, must have lost the blending brush!

So we’ll show you how to get the perfect Smokey Eye look in just four easy steps. The colour choice is only limited by your imagination!

But first some valuble tips:

Put your foundation on last! Its a messy business creating a Smokey Eye so better to apply your eye products first, then finish with your foundation application after.

No shadow on the top part of the eye lid. The colour should be all around your eye and not going beyond the eyelid crease, unless you have very heavy lids as seen in the pics below. Resist the urge to highlight the upper lid, you’ll look like Drag Queen! Unless of course you are a Drag Queen, then highlight away!

Blend, blend and blend some more. It’s called smokey because it looks like a puff of smoke, it’s not called “Racoon Eyes” or “Plastic from Binocula Eyes”. Think heavy with soft edges.

This is what it will look like if you don’t blend….

This is what it will look like if you do it right….

Notice her lips are very pale? Remember the golden rule; If the eyes are loud, tell the lips to be quiet.

What you’ll need:

ELES Powder Liner in any colour

ELES Mineral Matte Eye Shadow in any darkish colour, we are using Matte Twig

ELES Lush Mascara in Black

Optional – False Eyelashes

STEP ONE: Eyes should be primed and a light layer of foundation and powder applied to help the Eye Shadow bond to the eye.

STEP TWO: Using the Powder Liner apply a generous, deep line around the entire eye contour then blend with the soft rubber tip at the end of the pencil until you have a nice thick smudgy line.

STEP THREE: Press your chosen Eye Shadow into the line and begin blending out, adding more shadow to get a deeper hue. it should be darker towards the lash line and blending out to lighter on the edges, keep applying and blending until you have the desired effect, something like this…

NOTE: The eye above is heavy lidded in other words, the natural eye crease is very low. If this is the case you may apply the shadow slightly above the crease. If they eyes are not heavy lidded try to stay below the crease with only a soft blending appearing above.

STEP FOUR: Optional – Apply False Eyelashes to the top lashline. Apply several coats of Lush Mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

Voila….The Smokey Eye!

And remember, you don’t have to do it this dark, a lighter colour can be used for a softer effect.

Why do we love it?

The eye whites look whiter and the iris of the eye “pops” with vivid colour….

Melbourne Cup Fashion Show

Yes it seems a bit early for Melbourne Cup but it's just around the corner...

The team @ Lattouf Hair & Day Spa styled the models for a Melbourne Cup runway parade at Westfield Kotara.

As the photo show the contrast of block bold colours are still very much in vouge or for those of you a little less daring the classic nudes and whites are a no brainer.
