Fall Beauty 2016

Please don’t panic, but summer is almost over (we said don’t panic!). And while that means no more beach days and cottage weekends, the beginning of the fall season also means we get to indulge in our favourite beauty trends without worrying about shiny foreheads, frizzy hair and other summer-specific woes.

The loudest message from the Fall 2016 runways? Be yourself. More than ever before, designers are letting models’ individuality shine through. Whereas the norm of runways past was to style each girl with identical hair and makeup, these days models walk down the runways with their natural hair and freckles, showing off what makes them stand out. It’s a refreshing time, to say the least. (Or, in 2016 speak: WATTBA.)

Dark lips have been mainstays on the runway for many seasons, but for Fall 2016, they’re back and seriously darker than ever. Clumpy lashes are clumpier, glossy lips are glossier, and hair accessories are…well, you’ll see.
