Hot Right Now - Neutral Goddess.

I am loving the taupe trend at the moment! Celebrities such as Olivia Palermo, Kim Kardashian, Gigi Hadid and many more have sported this very neutral chic makeup look from the red carpet to front row at fashion week.I think that this palette of gold, mauves, and brown with lovely natural skin is something anyone can wear. It's simplicity is what draws me to it the most, I can totally see myself wearing this to university as well as for a dinner or something. So I created a mood board type thing using some pictures that really inspired me with this look. It's slightly amateur but gives you guys an idea of where I was going with it!

Rose tones, and colour washed eyes was my favourite aspect of this look, so I used two shadows from the Smashbox Full Exposure Palette; the matte tan brown, and the peach shimmer shade. I wanted my eyes to be the emphasis, so adding liner and mascara really accentuated them without being too dramatic. I softened the eyes by keeping my brows very natural, and adding the same shimmer pink on the tear duct.  It was important for me to keep the skin looking very natural. All the pictures I took inspiration from showed natural sheen to the skin, and there wasn't any obvious contour or blush colours. To do this I stuck to cream products, I used Chanel Soleil de Tan to add some warmth and dimension to my face. Using Smashbox Halo Highlighter in Gold to add the all important glow and spritz some MAC Studio Fix Plus.  With the lips I of course I had to use MAC's Taupe lipstick! I added a Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner in Nude Medium to give it some extra life. I am obsessed with this colour, think I've been wearing it every day since I did this look! All in all, I am pretty convinced that this makeup trend is not going anywhere anytime soon. I suspect more and more celebrities are going to embrace their inner neutral goddess on the red carpet in the upcoming months. What do you guys think about this current craze?  Comment below with your thoughts!
