YOUTH
SPRING / SUMMER 2017
Fashion has always been obsessed with youth, however, this obsession has now put a great deal of importance on ageless looks. In recent seasons, we have seen fashion become less formal and the Mrs. Robinson look is here to stay. 40 is definitely the new 20 and the youthful glow of Korean beauty stars and the Japanese Bimajo (beauty witches) have heavily influenced this trend.

YOUTH
Eclectic Youth is a rejection of Instagram makeup buzzwords like contouring, nontouring, strobing, etc.. Instead, this trend embraces a painterly creative quality. Graphic washes of glossy pastels grace the eyelids. The dramatic eyes are balanced by youthful simplicity--dewy skin and soft, pink lips allow the creative eye make up to take center stage.
