The Big Book of Trends
When one thinks of accessories and the finishing touches to an outfit, the mind veers towards bags, jewels, and shoes. While a chic clutch or a pair of pointed heels are always welcome additions, we mustn’t forget the ultimate accessory: the elements that come from within and are uniquely us. These are painted on, teased, or scented in a way that completes our identity and expression. Let a red lip seal the final kiss, black eyeliner add the final layer of armor, and teased hair infuse the energy of a party. A look might be forgotten, confused, or understyled, but a scent will remain engrained in the brain forever. Inspired by this issue's fashion trends, we found its perfect match in Beauty.
Red is the Kiss of a Killer
Feared by some, revered by others, it takes a certain power to pull off a red lip. It’s not just the shade, the hue, the finish, or the tone; it’s the confidence of the beholder and the energy set onto the lip itself. Are you, dear reader, worthy of the power bestowed upon you by the crimson kiss?
Color Play allows for a Supersaturation
Whoever said that “blush blindness” was a thing was obviously not living life to its fullest. Give yourself to the sun, to the summer, and to the saturation. Go overboard, and don’t be afraid of doing too much. The sky is the limit, and as the song says, “gimme, gimme more.”
Animal Print is the skin of the Primal Instincts
The world is a jungle and the city is your hunting ground. There are two wolves inside you: one is the predator, the other is the prey. Decide who you will be and allow yourself to grow into your utmost power. More is more, wear your stripes, and be proud of your spots. This season, we’re becoming the predator and the world is our prey.
In Corporate Core dwells the Office Siren
What she does at the company is not truly clear, yet she looks amazing while doing it. Who said that black eyeliner was reserved for the night and that cool-toned lips were out of style? Let her drown you in her sultry voice and mesmerize you with her pearl-colored eyes. Human Resources called, but she was too busy applying her eyeshadow to even notice.
Plaid is a world Uptight, Square, and Sleek
Proper tradition, clean heritage, and a borderline pedigree. In a plaid world, not a single hair is out of place and no strand even dares to leave its designated spot. With hair sleeker than a freshly mown lawn and as shiny as century-old silverware, create sharp looks and glossed finishes with the most malleable of manes.
XXL Knitwear and Scarf Dressing Elevate You into an Aldehyde Heaven
Carbon is a primary component of all known life on Earth, and in aldehyde heaven, it reigns as one of the main components of the heaven-sent scents themselves. Clean, fresh, soapy, and divine, these perfumes are as vast and different as the seven circles of hell themselves, but with a heart of gold and an angelic presentation that will leave you longing for a life beyond the horizons.
Layers are the Key to Unveiling Immortality
While four steps will do, in the eternal pursuit of the golden ratio of skin that doesn’t fade with time, one will discover that the key lies within the layers often forgotten by those who claim to know the science of the skin. Lay on the oil, the essence, and the serums crafted to stop time and enjoy the benefits of elixirs made by the gods themselves.
In Western We Do From Farm to Table
Mother Earth gives, and we receive. Blessed be the ground that gives to us, and let us take in the fruits of her harvest. From cold-pressed oils to salts mined in the garden of our ancestors, live in tune with the planet and enjoy beauty that is as harmonious as the process by which it was obtained. From the earth we come, and there we shall someday return.
Hood Hides Beneath the Surface
It’s said that the best at hiding are those that do it in plain sight. With these complexion concoctions, no one will ever be the wiser about what your past holds or what story your skin has to tell. Natural hues with glowy finishes, skin-like textures, and brightening powers allow you to hide in plain sight and achieve the ultimate canvas.
Lady-Like Smells Like Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice
They say that if you mix sugar, spice, and everything nice, you’ll get the recipe for the perfect being. Add a little bit of citrus, a dash of fresh herbs, and a touch of musk, and you’ll get an even better creation. Sweet doesn’t mean sugar, and spice doesn’t mean oud; rather, a plethora of scents yet to be discovered, enjoyed, and overused.
Glazed Up Transparencies Get You All Glazed Up
If you’re going to wear your skin out, you might as well go bare on the face as well. Opt for high-dew finishes, glass-like complexions, and accents that are as good as they’re almost unnoticeable. If transparencies are your fashion of choice, these invisible layers shall dress your skin accordingly.
Fur is Untamable
Dare to free the beast and let it off its leash. Put your hands all over it and free the beast, free the beast! After all, aren’t we animals in the deepest corners of our souls? Aren’t we city-made animals, domesticated by modern society? Fur is untamable, and our mane is our main connection to the wild.
