Makeup artists followed suit, letting the skin breathe with minimal cosmetics applications — often forgoing basics like foundation and mascara. In fact, there was absolutely no makeup used at Alexander Wang’s 10th Anniversary show. Lead artist Diane Kendal simply applied a layer of NARS Luminous Moisture Cream to models’ faces and called it a day, putting the focus on individual beauty. At Victoria Beckham, the beauty inspiration was presenting the best versions of yourself, from the clean matte manicures by Nails Inc. to the three-step flash facials provided by Sunday Riley.
Instead of taking the fashion industry’s lead, it’s refreshing that that for Spring 2016 they’re finally following ours. Today’s world is one where we don’t all want the same hard-to-pull-off look like super straight, sleek strands or impeccably styled waves. One where we know exactly what lipstick shades suit our skin tones but we also love trying ones that suit our ever-changing moods. Where being unique, and not a trend-chaser, is what makes you feel and look your best. As Paulo puts it, “What we’re really talking about is personality, individual style, and ease.” Finally a trend worth getting behind.
