Spring Beauty 2014: 109 photos of the top trends and must-have products this season

At Alexander Wang just four products were used backstage, with makeup artist Diane Kendal saying that it was “all about raw beauty.” Hair too gets the no makeup—er, no heat tools—treatment, with natural textures, centre parts and simple, low ponytails all making the list of our top spring beauty trends.

But back the colour—and the cosmetics that make them possible! “Pink is too sweet, too baby doll. Red is too pretty. It had to be a cool-girl colour,” said makeup artist Gucci Westman of the bright orange matte lip she created at Rag & Bone. If you can only buy one new lipstick this spring, make it orange: the zesty hue was also spotted at DKNY, John Galliano and Meadham Kirchoff, among others. As for pastels, spring beauty trends have been long associated with saccharine colours and for 2014 it proves to be quite a versatile one. Ranging from romantic (at Rochas, Suno and Burberry Prorsum) to futuristic (at Prabal Gurung, Giorgio Armani and Fendi) there’s an almost endless number of ways to wear pastel makeup shades. Finally, gold. If its everlasting popularity as a makeup shade is any indication, this precious metal’s desirability has no limits. Still, a little of its brilliance goes a long way. While painting your eyebrows gold à la Christian Dior, isn’t for everyone, Jason Wu and Gucci offer some more everyday-appropriate takes on this spring beauty trend. Ready to get inspired?

ORANGE LIPSTICK “Pink is too sweet, too baby doll. Red is too pretty. It had to be a cool-girl colour,” said makeup artist Gucci Westman of the bright orange matte lip she created at Rag & Bone, which marked the first time a bold lip colour appeared at the show. Westman said the shade was inspired by the “optimism of the World Cup” and the bright colours of Brazil. Olé! We also saw versions of the zesty hue at DKNY, John Galliano and Meadham Kirchoff.
