For Ladies: 2017 Beauty Trends

Creative Nail Art

A light color of varnish could be applied as the base for your nails before applying some glitter and stones. A chrome finish could also be the perfect base for a flashy combination of the ‘one jazzed up nail' on a hand trend.

It may be the second quarter of 2017, but it's not too late to warm up to this year's beauty trends. You may find these trends useful to prepare for different occasions like weddings, birthdays, bridal showers or just that special night with your loved one! So, open your mind and your wallets to this year's shortcut to glowing skin, Rockstar hair and the perfect cupid's bow shaped lips:

Fiery Lips

The concept of ‘less is more' is coming back this year. Picture yourself with hair up in a messy bun, a light layer of foundation and corresponding subtle highlight topped with a dash of reddish-orange lipstick. To really mark out the curve of your lips, invest in a bright red lip liner to give your lips the semblance of looking fuller and potentially prevent an escape of color. Finish it off with a stroke of gloss in the middle and a light smack.

Braid Embellishments

Weave will always be the ‘thing, ' but braids are slowly being embraced by more women even as their wedding hair style. Mini-metal cuffs and gold rings can be put on a few of your box braids or on your French plait.

Wig it up!

Want to live the life of a Rockstar? Or at least look like one? Switch your look up every now and again with your personal collection of wigs! While wigs can be expensive, it may be cheaper to style some old extensions into the perfect new piece. Be dramatic and opt for different hair colors to match your mood!

Matte Eyes

Matte lips – been there, done that! Let's move on to the next popping feature on the face, the eyes! Matte eyeshadow can actually be used for highlighting, shading and defining the eyes for a clean and classy look during the day or at night as a lot of these eyeshadows come in nude and earthy colors.

Dairy Skincare

Got milk, anyone? Milk is fortified with lots of calcium, protein and other vitamins and minerals- drinking it is good for you so smothering it all over your face and body must be great, right? In particular, goat milk is very rich in fatty acids and Vitamin A which will keep your skin youthful and supple. Popularly used in creams and bath soaks, it's no wonder that Queen Cleopatra had a ritual of soaking herself in fresh goat milk to say good riddance to dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of new skin.
