The Top 5 Most Wearable Spring/Summer Beauty Trends

While we love seeing all of the looks from the Fashion Weeks allover the world, the catwalks don't always produce the most wearable beauty styles. So we rounded up some of the coolest hair and makeup looks you can and will want this summer!

THE DRAMATIC BLUE EYE MAKEUPMost Wearable Spring Summer Beauty Trends

Seen at: Giorgio Armani, Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs, Prada.

Eyes accented with all shades of blue eyeshadow were a striking look on catwalks as makeup artists took strong popping shades of blue and made them new again, whether as a flash of blue on the lower lash line or in bold blocks of colour across the lids. In order to not look like an 80s throwback, the trick to the SS14 blue is to keep the rest of your features plain and simple, to make your eyes really take centre stage. This is a perfect party look this spring.

3 THE LINED AND DEFINED EYES

Seen at: Chanel Haute Couture, Saint Laurent, Rodarte, Just Cavalli.

From dramatic kohl to sleek cat eyes, black liner was another wearable look we saw all over the runways for SS14. This updated classic look is eternally changeable. You can either opt for an intense look, with thick liquid liner across both top and bottom lids (as seen at Saint Laurent) or team the black cat eye with silver glitter as seen on the Chanel Haute Couture catwalk for an evening look.

  THE TRANSLUCENT PASTEL EYES

Sugary-sweet and perfect for spring, a myriad of pastel shades graced the SS14 catwalks. From light yellows to powder blues and pistachio greens, these pastels have a translucent texture that we love. It’s all about letting your natural beauty mix with light, sweet colours. This look is easy to wear any summer or spring day and matches perfectly with a summer wardrobe.

THE BRIGHT ORANGE LIPS

Seen at: DSquared, John Galliano, DKNY, Prabal Gurung, Rag & Bone.

With last summer came colour popping pouts in a rainbow of shades, but this summer the colour is orange. In shades so bright they were almost neon, models strutted down the runways with either glossy or matte orange lips. This versatile look works just as well during the day as at night. Try the orange lips in a sportier fashion (like on the DKNY runway), or pair them with voluminous shiny curls for a more exotic look (as seen at Dsquared).
