The Best Beauty Trends for SS18

You may be forgiven for thinking that following the latest beauty trends requires time, money and dedication.

The truth is: you can stay stylish without too much effort if you just use the tools that you already own.

In fact, here are some of the best beauty trends for SS18 that most of us can pull off using only the most basic things we’ve already got at home. With a little bit of practice, you can learn how to apply them and get ready in the nick of time.

The Best Beauty Trends for SS18

Look Me in the Eyes

Let’s get started with the best beauty trends for SS18.

Who doesn’t remember the iconic Wonderbra ad featuring Eva Herzigova and her seductive, eye-lined look?

The good news is the graphic liner is back. This season reinvented the cat-eye, allowing for more detailed, creative and whimsical shapes than we’re used to.

Thick or thin lines, underlines, flat lines or curls, even lines that follow an elaborate pattern rather than your eyelid – anything goes. There are no rules but to put the focus on your eyes as much as possible.

If you feel you’re not skilful enough to get a clean line, just give it a grungy smudge to get a nonchalant, smokey look. Or, don’t strive to make your lines perfect – play with shapes and forms and go for asymmetry.

(Don’t) Bite Your Lips

Bitten Lip Makeup

This season, your mother’s warning: “stop biting your lips!” has stopped being relevant. (Sorry, mum!)

A huge trend in lip makeup is bitten lips, which is incredibly easy to achieve.

Simply apply a bit of raspberry or cherry-coloured lipstick (or even eyeshadow) in the centre of your lips then smudge it outwards to the edges. Finally, top it off with some transparent lip gloss. For a full effect, apply blush in the same hue.

Another trend dictates sporting perfectly outlined lips in bold, matte colours.

A pale tan paired with dark lipstick is a much-coveted look, and popular colours include mulberry, cognac and reddish-brown – to name a few.

Just remember that “makeup is about balance. When the eye makes a statement, the lips should be quiet.”

Beauty is (Not) Skin-Deep

Possibly the biggest beauty trend this season is the natural, glowing skin complexion.

Having healthy skin is a must and a prerequisite for any makeup style.

While some might prefer the glossier, porcelain look and others the subdued, matte look, one thing is for sure – the age of heavy makeup and contouring is passé (and may it never return).

Considering this, skincare has never been more important. So, chuck out your foundations and primers, and start thinking about investing in skincare products that will clean, nourish and rejuvenate your skin.

Once your skin has retrieved its vibrant, youthful look, it will be easy to continue playing with your preferred makeup style.

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond

Eye Glitter

Natural-looking skin can be greatly complimented with discreet shimmer.  Strategically place it on your cheekbones, clavicles, shoulders, neck and (of course) cleavage.

To achieve this, you will need nothing more than body glitter or a shimmery body mist.

This season, you can apply glitter everywhere. I’m talking below your eyes, on your lashes or eyebrows or on your chin and cheeks to fully accentuate them.

If you’re feeling bold, pair a glittery eyeshadow with an electric- or neon-coloured eyeliner – or vice versa. Or, opt for super-sized, chunky gold glitter on your eyelids.

The only rule is that you either apply glitter generously on a single spot for a full effect or spread it out evenly for a more refined look.

Neo-Romantic or Neon Punk?

Vibrant Hair Shades

Source 1    Source 2 – Unknown

Crazy hair or natural-looking hair – it’s entirely up to you. This season allows for absolute freedom regarding hair, as long as it’s healthy.

Anything goes: from crop and short cuts to beehives and surfer hair.

Equally popular is long, tousled or deliberately braided hair on one side and bob cuts in metallic, electric, pastel and even neon colours (particularly bright pink) on the other.

Another trendy look is a side cut in metallic shades, especially if only the longer side is dyed. (Braver girls might want to shave the other side.)

Embracing Beauty Trends for SS18

Since most of the latest beauty trends for SS18 are universal, accessible and adaptable, it’s never been easier to be in style.

There are many places to browse for inspiration to effortlessly achieve a trendy look with even the most basic makeup kits. Have fun!

Current bottomless brunch uniform: an oversized sh Current bottomless brunch uniform: an oversized shirt, high-waisted jeans and square-toed strappy heels. 💃🏼
This is basically the 2022 version of “jeans and a nice top” — comfortable and practical for a long day/evening out but still contemporary and stylish.
I went for a soft colour palette for Saturday’s brunch in York because I thought it would look fresher for the summer season. 👀 
I also usually add a light jacket to tackle the pesky British elements but I didn’t need one last weekend. 🥵
The gorgeous mint green satin shirt is from @zara and my straight-leg jeans are @topshop (old), adding some nineties nostalgia to the mix.
I’ll link all pieces in my Story. 💕

Seeing all these news headlines about airport queu Seeing all these news headlines about airport queues is so frustrating. 😖
A trip abroad starts at the airport, and it breaks my heart that people who haven’t been able to travel or go on holiday for years and have worked so hard to save up are now experiencing delays and cancellations when it’s finally time for their trip to begin.
Speaking from experience, these queues stress you out before you’ve even got to your final destination. ✈️
I’ve flown from Leeds Bradford airport three times in the last nine months and Manchester airport once in the last few weeks. Each trip to the airport has taught me something different.
That said, I wanted to share a few things you can do to speed up your time at the airport so that you can make your flight and have the much-needed holiday you deserve. 🤗
Above all, follow your specific airline or airport recommendations. (These usually come in the form of an email or text message a couple of days before your flight.)

Hope this helps. 💕

Courtyard strollin’… (Looking for my next cup Courtyard strollin’…
(Looking for my next cup of coffee or glass of sangria — it all depends on the time of day!) 😉☕️🍹
This cute courtyard was in the middle of Palma city. The architecture and restaurants huddled in the square with al fresco drinking and dining instantly transported me back to Italy.
It reminded me of past cruise ship holidays with my parents where we visited the likes of Naples, Capri, Rome, Florence and Pisa and we would be in awe of the charm and beauty of these places.
But this post is about Palma in Majorca. 🇪🇸
Palma itself is a delight!
There’s so much going on in the centre, so much life and hustle and bustle, which is refreshing to experience after over two years of lockdowns and travel restrictions. 😅
I enjoyed our leisurely peruse of the city, soaking up the sun and seeing historic sights such as The Cathedral of Santa Maria, which dates back to 1601.
We even spent some time getting lost amongst the cobbled backstreets, popping in and out of shops before we regained our bearings once again. 😍
Our day in Palma reminded me how much I love exploring and how much travelling makes me feel fulfilled.
You just can’t beat it, right? ❤️
I already can’t wait for my next European city break (which hasn’t even been booked yet!).
What are some of your fave European cities? 👇🏻

One of my all-time favourite travel fashion pieces is the blue denim “mom-style” shorts.
You know, the relaxed-fit and high-waisted type that go with just about anything? 😉
You can pair them with a strappy top and sandals or flip flops for those warm summer days.
Or you can take them from day to night by swapping the strappy top for a chic blouse or cropped shirt and the flat sandals or flip flops for heels.
They’re just so comfy and cute! J’adore. ❤️
These ones are from @marksandspencerfashionpr which I’ll link via the @shop.LTK app along with some similar options.

I lived in mine for my most recent trip to Majorca - even throwing them on over a bikini with a kaftan for those lazy pool days. ✌🏻

That post-holiday feeling! You know, when you lan That post-holiday feeling!
You know, when you land after a few days in the sun and you feel refreshed, recharged and ready to take on the world again. 🙌🏻
And it helps if you travel in comfy clothes.
Plane, train and bus rides can be time-consuming (and stressful when things go wrong) so comfy travel gear makes the journey that little bit more bearable. ✈️ 
I’m currently loving lounge sets to travel in, such as this “Bon Voyage” lemon number from @lornaluxe x @inthestyle . 🍋
You can still get your hands on the shorts but, unfortunately, the sweatshirt is out of stock.
Not to worry though - I’ve linked some more pretty lounge sets to travel in via my shop on the @shop.LTK app.

You know, when the suitcase is finally packed, the plane outfit is laid out and there’s nothing left to do other than get a good night’s sleep before you head to your new destination ✨ tomorrow ✨!
(But then you’re so excited that you end up not having the best sleep! 🤦🏼‍♀️)
Are you one of those travellers who gets to the airport super early or one of those super last minute people? ✈️

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶 Okay so I uni I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶
Okay so I unintentionally wore blue, white and black all weekend.
Outfit one was for a Betty’s brunch for the hubby’s birthday and exploring Thirsk. 👀
The blue denim dress and checked shacket combo felt a bit sixties inspired and sassy teamed with black tights and white boots.
Then outfit two was for a pub lunch and drinks with the family (hubby’s birthday celebrations part two).
I went for a blue floral top, comfy black jeggings, a blue denim shearling jacket and those white boots again. 👢
This felt more seventies rocker vibes so naturally I had to wear it with attitude!
