Beauty Trends 2014

Beauty Trends 2014



2014 is drawing to an end so here is a round up of some of the beauty trends that made their mark throughout 2014. 

1. That Kylie Jenner Lip.
There is no doubt that this was the number one beauty trend of 2014. I think nearly every girl in the beauty blogging world was trying to find their dupe and overdrawing their lips to somewhat look like Kylie Jenner. When Kim Kardashian let Sam & Nic in on Kylie's famous lip the M.A.C website sold out almost immediately. While I have Kylie's Soar lipliner I still haven't been about to get my hands on Whirl. I have attempted to overdraw my lips but I think most of us have come to the conclusion that there is no way that we were going to look like the infamous Jenner youngster without looking like a duck. I think we'll leave the overdrawing to Kylie.

2. The long bob. 
This is the most sought after hairstyle of 2014. So many of us have been cutting our hair to just about shoulder length. The best thing about this hairstyle is that it is still long enough to make us look feminine yet not having to do too much to maintain the hairstyle. Alongside us bloggers the world of celebrities have also been after this hairstyle this year with people from Beyonce to Scarlett Johansson taking the chop. 

3. That contour. 
Another Kardashian trend is getting that contour spot on. Kim Kardashian is probably the most famous of the Kardashian clan for her contour and its not hard to understand why. There has been numerous videos of how to highlight and contour like Kim. She is the ultimate person for getting them cheekbones spot on. Judging by how much effort her make up artists put in its not hard to understand why. Maybe by the end of 2015 we'll be as good as her. 

4. The Cara Delevingne Brows
For the past year we have been drawing on our brows to make them more defined and give ourselves the HD brows. However Cara Delevingne started this trend in 2013 although it didn't officially take over till 2014. Gone of the days of the non existent brows its now all about the filled in big brows. This is one trend I'm certainly onboard with. I've always had quite big brows so now I don't have to worry about looking like the odd one out. 

5. A Cat Flick Eyeliner
The cat flick eyeliner is one that Alexa Chung is known for and its easy to see why, her eyeliner always looks the exact same and is always on point. Throughout the year we have been making our way through; liquid, gel and pencil eyeliner to get that cat flick on point as much as Alexa has hers. The cat flick is great because its one that is suitable for any eye shape. The cat flick can be bold or simple perfect for any look. 

6. The Coral Lip
Throughout the summer we were loving that coral/orange bright lip. Surprisingly there was a orange that went with every skin tone. We were ditching the nudes and red's and going for something a little bit different. It started at the Spring 2014 Fashion Week with everyone on the runway sporting it. It then left the runway and hit the high street and eventually hitting the majority of people's make up bags. 

7. Natural make up 
2014 was the year of the 'no makeup, makeup look.' Gone of the days of the full heavy face of makeup now it is all about the natural look. A light base and very little eye makeup can make someone look fresher faced and younger. I see this trend heading towards 2015 as well. 

Will any of these trends continue throughout 2015?
