Invest in skincare for dewy skin this winter.
Statement lips and sultry eye makeup remain trendy.
__________________________________________________
Now that we're moving into another season, it's important to gauge the trends and products to leave in the past and the ones you need to get or achieve this winter.
Take with
The invitation said skin! This is the season where investing in your skincare routine is pivotal. Dewy, healthy skin was the order of the day on catwalks across the world.
Statement lips are still trending from those lined with an exaggerated dark liner to new bold lip shades like blue, you have options.
Eyes mimicked the clothing of the season; sultry with lots of eds from grunge-inspired, black-lined lids to smokey charcoals.

Leave behind
Bleached brows officially stay behind. Goodbye exaggerated five-head and alien-like features!
However, endearing as it might seem, sticking jewellery on your face is not a thing anymore. Say no to embellishment.
If you were ever able to achieve wet-look hair, here's a slow clap for you! We are relieved it's over.
Scent alert
Sparkling, astonishing, mystifying: for Chanel, Chance is never a matter of coincidence. It arises from a timely encounter, a purposeful meeting. It lands at the very heart of the chessboard of life, in splendid style, following the guiding fragrance trail of Gabrielle Chanel, who went so far as to say that chance was her soul.
It can be taken audaciously, created courageously, in a loud and clear voice, and it can be seized with an opening gambit that aims high. Chance is a fragrance for those who, like Chanel, believe that Chance favours those who know how to seize it.

It embodies a state of mind, a declaration of faith, and a roll of the dice that creates destiny in a game played over and again.
Chance is always a winning factory encounter. Its dynamic, encapsulated energy circulates with audacity, spirit and a natural, revitalising burst of laughter.

Kissable lips
Huda fans will want to run to their nearest ARC store with its new drop. The Faux Filler Extra Shine Lip Gloss, R515, is so glossy that it's distracting. It smoothes and blurs fine lines. The true buzz is that it also gives a lip filler effect without the tingling sensation; just full looking, high-shine lips in one slick of the wrist.
Packed with active ingredients like vitamin E and also infused with vegan, this one-of-a-kind formula contains plant-derived melted waxes that give the gloss a cushion-like texture and multi-dimensional shine.
Sleek Sophistication
From the mirror-like shine at Versace to the sculpted silhouettes at Saint Laurent, sleek hair dominated the Fall 2024 runways. The glass-like straight style is undoubtedly the easiest way to channel this trend, versatile enough to work on various hair lengths and textures.
Creating the look is as simple as straightening with precision, with the key being a high-quality heat protectant and smoothing serum for that runway-worthy shine.
If you're feeling more adventurous, try the wet look sleek style. Part your hair sharply and apply a styling gel from roots to mid-lengths for that just-stepped-out-of-the-shower effect.
Slick behind the ears or create a low, tight bun for maximum impact. Don't stress about absolute perfection – what matters is the glossy finish.
Finish with a lightweight holding spray to maintain the structure, and you're runway-ready!
