January 2019 www.womanthismonth.com 32 BEAUTY | trends Long-Lasting Manicure Do you avoid doing your nails in bold colours because you don’t like chipped polish? Well, worry no more! Say hello to the powder-dip nail manicure that has been sneaking up on us. This manicure is done by dipping your finger nails into shimmery powders of your favourite colour, and coating with a transparent varnish to seal, without the need for UV light. The effect lasts for as long as a month, all without chipping. So, the next time you’re at your favourite salon, ask if they do SNS powder dip yet. Coloured Mascara After coloured eyeliners, the spring of 2019 is bringing us something much more to pop those diva eyes and bat those long lashes. This is a look that is both daring and effortlessly glam-ready. Show up at your next DJ party or music festival with vibrant coloured eye-lashes, and watch the rest of the eyes follow you. Try out the electric blue at Area, the shadow-mascara harmony at Christian Dior, or the royal blue shade at Dries Van Noten this winter to make an impact at your next barbie. French Red Lips According to Vogue, bold red lips are not going anywhere next year; if anything, they are making a red lipstick, naked eyes, sleek hairdo, comeback in spring 2019. Afterall, what is more French than plump, gorgeous red lips? Get your pillar-box reds at Givenchy and Poire, and rich tomato hues at Koche by Terry Barber to make a statement this winter. Foiled Eye Shadow Add a metallic shade to your eye make-up to give it that little sparkle. Foiled looks are created by using a wet brush to apply a metallic shade. The result will be a shiny, metallic take on your own favourite shade. If you are someone who edges more towards a natural look, you can always use foiled eyeshadow to highlight the inner corners of your eyelids, or a small highlight in the center.
