Show Your Colours

This season, Lane Crawford is taking beauty further than just self-enhancement, instead we’re focusing on using it as a tool for self-expression. Coco Chanel once famously said, “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” The skin is a canvas for our declaration of visual freedom, offering the world a glimpse of our unique perspective.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration to revitalise makeup strategies or looking to return to some stalwart beauty classics – we’ve pulled together makeup trends from the catwalks to bring out the best version of yourself via your makeup bag this autumn/winter.

The Look: If experimental glamour is your thing, embrace the shades of the season (think: bright fuchsia, matte green, or cobalt blue) and sport extreme graphic eyeshadow from Byredo’s 5 colours Eyeshadow Palette on your lids. Eyebrows are essential in creating a look. Recreate Rick Owen's idiosyncratic take on bleach eyebrows paired with black smoky eyes or pops of colour.

The Look: Bare skin achieved with minimal amounts of foundation. The mood was natural, with an understated complexion accented by an unexpected swipe of colour on the corners of the eyes. For an everyday look with a twist, try applying a long, straight eyeliner as seen on the catwalks of Carolina Herrera. Surprisingly, it works – and doesn’t drag the eye downwards.

The Look: Offset healthy flawless skin with bright red lips worn against minimal make-up. Keep eyes bare for added drama. Don’t forget to keep lips hydrated and protected with Dior Beauty’s ultra-moisturising lip balm before applying your desired shade of red.
