Unicorn eyeliner, foilyage and smoky brows.

Above are some of the beauty trends that made it big in 2016 and there are some new looks on board for 2017.

Although the word ‘trend’ suggests a fad and something that won’t be around for very long, the styles mentioned here are wearable and can be easily incorporated into your everyday look.

Nails

According to CND, the brains behind Shellac FYI, next year’s nail trends are pared-back and sophisticated.

Grey ombre nails were spotted at every Spring Summer 2017 catwalk from Paris to Milan and the good news is it’s a relatively simple style to replicate. Try it at home with shades such as Rubble or City Scape and if you’re feeling adventurous, a nail technician will be able to recreate the below grey ombre effect.

Hair

When Victoria Beckham showed her SS17 collection at New York Fashion Week, one hairstyle dominated the show. A minimal style it might be but the beauty here is that the hair is shiny, soft and healthy so it looks effortless.

Hot Air at OSLO, a Dublin-based blowdry bar has created their version, entitled the ‘New York’ and Aoife Collins, the salon’s creative director thinks it’s going to be the style of next season.

There’s been much talk about how straight is the new curly and if the below New York look is anything to go by, you might be saying goodbye to your curly blow-dry for 2017.

Brows

Forget the ‘Instagram brow’, which is all about boxy, drawn-on lines. 2017 sees a return to the “full and natural” brow but in saying that, brows always frame and define the face so it’s important to keep them in check.

The easiest way to do this is to have them shaped regularly, whether you’re a threading devotee or a waxing queen.

Kim K’s makeup artist is all about this brow revolution too and he has a couple of top tips, (which you can check out here), to help you get the full yet natural look that’s key this year.
