Hi Everyone!
I've been pretty excited to show you all this post as it's my first ever beauty post! I've been wanting to do one for ages now but never really knew what exactly I wanted to put in it. I was recently invited to presentation with MAC cosmetics where Sonic Sarwate who's the Global Senior Artist for MAC in India showed us a few of the beauty trends for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2016 season. Since I love blogging about trends as much as I do about my personal style, I thought it would be great to incorporate what I learnt at the presentation into this post. I also received some products at the end that I experimented with to create looks of my own.
MAC products I experimented with
I tried to create two looks with the Mac products; the first, with a bold lip and wing liner which is shown below. The second look consisted of extremely dramatic eyes and keeping the rest of the face natural. This look actually didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to and is also the reason why there are no pictures up of it. The upcoming trends that I learnt about along with my adaptations of them are as follows:

The upcoming trends that I learnt about along with my adaptations of them are as follows:
Trend 1: Dramatic Eyes

New product range in MAC: Faerie Whispers
The first trend is all about the eyes. While focusing on the eye make-up, making the rest of the face quite natural is crucial otherwise it can get a bit too messy. The MAC 'Faerie Whispers' range is perfect for creating dramatic eyes yet keeping it quite elegant at the same time. Neutral shades aren't the only ones that can be used for this trend. Bright and bold colours can be used as well. The way in which the eyelashes are done can also have an impact on how the look comes out. Different colours of mascara can be used along with the way in which they are applied can both contribute into creating unique looks.

Trend 2: Bold Lips

Final look
This has to be my favourite make-up trend out of the lot. I'm obsessed with collecting lipsticks and I'm always looking for new shades to try on. I tend to wear a lot more colour on my lips than nude shades. From the regular collection, my favourite shades from MAC are 'Diva' and 'Smoked Purple'. They're both quite dark colours have a matte finish which I prefer much more than a glossy one.
Trend 3: Natural Face

This trend doesn't need too much of an explanation. It's all about keeping the face extremely clean and simple. Though it doesn't look like it, a lot of products are actually used on the skin such as foundation, concealer, blush and bronzer but is done so in a way to make the skin look as natural as possible.

Trend 4: Bright Colours

New product range in MAC: Flamingo Park
The final trend is all about bright colours. Whether they're used on the lips or the eyes or anywhere else on the face, it's definitely a way of making a bold statement and standing out. MAC's new 'Flamingo Park' product range has some great bright colours that can be used to create unique looks. I really hope that one day I'm brave enough to try this trend and see type of look I can come up with.
At the presentation, there was also the launch of the new Liquid lipsticks by MAC which I was the most obsessed with. I sadly didn't good enough pictures of them to put up but it was definitely my favourite of all the new products about to launch. The lipstick once dried has a matte finish and it's supposed to be quite long lasting. I can't wait to get my hands on a few of the shades. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this post. I look forward to doing more beauty posts in the future. x
