Back for another season with Fashion
Scout, longtime make-up and manicure sponsors The Body Shop talk nude
nails, strong brows and Instagram-ready skin as their go to beauty
looks both on and off catwalk. Offering complimentary mini-makeovers
and manicures to guests, Jasmin Keers from The Body Shop Newcastle
and celebrity nail artist Glenis Baptiste use new-season Body Shop
launches to offer a taste of upcoming catwalk looks.
Keers cites a contoured face and wash of blue or purple on eyelids as this
season’s most referenced look, as well as a bold lip for added
drama. In terms of beauty hangovers from AW14, strong brows are still
going strong; ‘full brows will always be on trend,’ she tells
us, while graphic eyeliner continues with a modern update. Perfectly
winged herself, The Body Shop are well-placed to provide the tools,
tips and tricks to a flawless liquid eye look.
New products being used include
Instablur primer for both skin and eyes, creating a photo-perfect
finish to your daily make-up, as well as the newly released Colour
Crush range for lips, eyes and nails. Juicy brights are joined by
sleek dark hues, taking you from season to season.
Nail artist Glenis Baptiste praises
nail art’s love of ‘anything goes’, allowing her to choose a
different Colour Crush shade for each nail to show off all the great
colours out there. Nail transfers, dots, stripes and marbling prove
nail art is still a strong trend, but nudes are experiencing a
resurgence on the catwalk - especially at Fashion Scout SS15. Colour
Crush nudes are more vibrant and suit a variety of skin tones, unlike
in previous years.
Glenis believes that younger designers
bring more flair to fashion, especially in terms of their inventive
and experimental beauty looks. Talking about Fashion Scout as a
platform for these emerging talents, Glenis believes Fashion Scout is
an absolutely fantastic platform; ‘you can’t ask for anything
more to launch your brand on, or get your name out there’.
