Autumn/Winter 2013-14 Beauty Trends
2:16 PM
The variety of different beauty looks seen on the catwalk each
season never fail to impress, but a few key trends always shine
through - and we've collated the 10 very best.
For autumn/winter 2013-14, make-up artists have taken spring's trends and developed them for the new season, with the introduction of petal and berry stains to replace matte lips, and an even more pronounced take on Sixties beauty at the likes of Anna Sui and Emilio Pucci. A move toward more grown-up, ladylike make-up is also worthy of note in line with fashion's own infatuation with Hitchcock-style femininity, whilst youthful dewy skin has moved aside to make way for a flawless, velvety finish.

Futuristic Sixties
Anna Sui
An
extension of spring/summer’s Sixties trend, the slew of graphic eyes
and pale lips had a rather more futuristic feel this season. At Dior the
swoops of liner were painted in silver rather than black, whilst dots
on the lower lash line pepped up the monochrome eyes at Anna Sui.
Meanwhile, Rag & Bone updated its usually minimal beauty look with a
striking black line in the crease of models' eye sockets - very
Twiggy.
Blush-Free Faces
Balmain
Girlish
flushed cheeks have taken a back seat for autumn/winter 2013-14, with
make-up artists choosing to either skip blush entirely or use it very
sparingly indeed. Particularly bare cheeks were seen at Jonathan
Saunders, Balmain, Alexander Wang and Dolce & Gabbana.
Feature Brows
Rochas
Whether
bushy and bold or pencilled and groomed - whatever brows were doing,
they were doing something. At Haider Ackermann and Isabel Marant they
were bushy and untamed, at Chloe, Stella McCartney and Chanel they were
neat yet strong and at Jean Paul Gaultier they dominated models' faces
in opaque black. The Cara Delevingne effect strikes again.
Petal-Stained Lips
Christian Dior
As
with spring/summer 2013, lips look set to be, on the most part, very
matte for the new season. But for autumn/winter 2013-14 they appear
stained rather than painted, either with colour diffusing from the
inside of the lips outwards - as at Dior and Marni, or with a darker,
berry-stained effect at Derek Lam, Prada and Vera Wang.
Ladylike
Bottega Veneta
In
keeping with the Hitchcock-style femininity of the season's fashion,
polished beauty looks with an almost Forties feel were seen everywhere
from Carolina Herrera and Bottega Veneta to Oscar de la Renta. Rather
than sticking to one key feature, the season's "grown-up" beauty pairs
defined eyes with “done” lips for a very feminine look indeed. Even the
ever-youthful Marc by Marc Jacobs girl spruced herself up for the show,
with glossy red lips to complement her sophisticated neutral-toned eye
make-up.
Grunge & Punk
Rodarte
Grunge,
punk, rock 'n' roll - whichever you choose it's edgy make-up with
attitude that counts. Spring/summer 2013's focus on the lower lash line
is set to continue into autumn, with smudgy liner under the eyes at
Rodarte, Missoni and Versace, whilst bruise-coloured smoky eyes gave a
punk edge to the Julien Macdonald, Erdem and Roksanda Ilincic beauty
looks.
Statement Eyes
Chanel
There were glitter-strewn eyes at Chanel, Marni and
House of Holland, Brit-pop blues at Topshop Unique and purple and red
metallic shadow at Jason Wu and Gucci respectively. Statement eyes, it
seems, are the way to make your mark for autumn/winter 2013-14.
The Thin Black Line
Alexander Wang
Black
eye liner is a staple in most make-up bags, but for this season - if
you're not trying out the Sixties trend - the way to wear it is in a
skinny line along the top lashes. A particular favourite at New York
Fashion Week, the look added subtle and almost invisible definition at
the likes of Victoria Beckham, Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler and
Christopher Kane.
Red Nails
Valentino
A
noticeable increase in red nail looks was apparent backstage at the
shows, with garnet shades at Burberry and Meadham Kirchhoff and bold
tomato tones at Chanel, Valentino and Topshop Unique.
"Finished" Skin
Victoria Beckham
The
"no make-up" dewy-skinned look has dominated catwalk beauty for a long
time but there has been an undeniable shift towards polished, velvety
skin carefully prepped with foundation before being dusted with a
liberal coat of powder to set – first hinted at last season. Make-up
artists spent five times as long on the skin than the rest of the
make-up at Isabel Marant, and this embracing of matte satin skin was
also apparent at Victoria Beckham, Balmain, Chloe and Stella McCartney.
