Of late we’ve seen trends in beauty do a complete 180! Darkly rimmed and overly smoked-out eyes are no more and in their place are voluminous lashes accented with subtle hues of brown and gold. Winged liner is now a rarity and more and more celebrities are donning understated, au natural looks instead.

We love Swedish beauty blogger and makeup artist, Linda Halberg’s take on this dare to be bare trend. Defined brows, subtle rosy cheeks and a peachy nude lip keep this look soft and summer friendly.

TRY

L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara for longer lashes. Available at Clicks, Edgards, Foschini and Dis-Chem Pharmacies at R180.

Wedding season is in full swing with more and more brides opting for simple, sophisticated looks for their big day. We love this look, again done by Linda Hallberg, which would be perfect for any blushing bride!

TRY

Rimmel London Exaggerate Auto Waterproof Eye Definer. This retractable liner comes with a sponge on its opposite end so you can lightly smoke out your understated cateye. Available at Clicks, Edgars, Foschini and Dis-Chem Pharmacies for R89.95.

Compliment your eyes with a pretty lip colour like the  in Purple Prelude. Available at Clicks, Edgars, Foschini and Dis-Chem Pharmacies for R149.95.

We love understated makeup on these celebrities, each keeping it simple for different occassions.
