Transformative trends to put a spring back in your beauty regime
Brighter seasons are fast approaching, and having spent months at home, many of us are ready to brush the dust off our makeup bags and switch up our looks for Spring. As a result, Samsung KX, London’s hub of innovation, has partnered with resident beauty expert of Channel 5’s revamped 10 Years Younger, Hannah Martin, to share her top Spring/Summer trends. Having brought her expertise to models, celebrities and even some royal brides, she’s ready to build the nation’s beauty confidence again and help makeup lovers nail the ultimate glow up.
From laminated brow techniques fresh from the runway, to a resurgence of big blush ‘draping’, Hannah shares 10 innovative trends covering everything from daily makeup, to catwalk-worthy contouring. What’s more, Hannah will be bringing these looks to life in a virtual beauty masterclass, showcasing viewers exactly how to create these looks at home. This will be available to watch on the Samsung KX content hub from Thursday 18th March.
For beauty fanatics looking to sharpen their vlogging skills, Hannah will be sharing top tips and personal watch-outs from her past experiences, demonstrating how to perfectly capture each of her trends using next level features of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G – from dual recording using Director’s View, to shooting intricate eye details using the optical zoom lenses.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is designed with a unique contour-cut camera to create a revolution in photography — letting you capture cinematic 8K video and snap epic stills, all in one go. And with Galaxy’s fastest chipset, strongest glass, 5G and an all-day battery, Ultra easily lives up to its name.
Hannah’s top ten Spring/Summer 2021 beauty trends:
1. No makeup makeup
Tip: Add balm to the lips to moisturise and plump, brush brows up, and then curl the lashes to open the eyes. To catch the light, spot highlight with oil onto the top of your cheeks, bridge of nose and brow bone
2. Dewy Bases
Tip: Even out the skin tone with a hydrating tinted moisturiser to keep your complexion glowing throughout the day. Once done, add a touch of powder to the t-zone. Use a liquid blush on the cheeks for a longed-for dewy radiance
3. Laminated Brows
Tip: Once the Spoolie wand is dipped into the desired brow gel, brush the brows up towards the forehead and let the gel set for 30 seconds before pressing the brows down onto the skin. Take it a step further by drawing fine brow-like hairs on the brow for a natural look
4. Eye Gloss
Tip: Swipe a slick of gloss across the eye lid using a slim concealer brush. It’s most effective if you place it high above the crease of the eye, so the glossy sheen can be seen when your eyes are open
5. Big Blush
Tip: Sweep a pale pink blush a little higher than usual – over the top of the cheekbones, temples, and crease of the eye. Add a matching (or clashing) lip, and you’re good to go
6. Hints of Neon
Tip: A little can make a big statement. Add a dash of Neon Orange Liner to the outer corner of the eye, or a neon green shadow to the inner corner, for that fashion forward look
7. Coloured mascara
Tip: Going for bold emerald greens and punchy fuchsia pinks? Then keep the rest of your makeup simple so that it truly pops
8. Floating graphic liner
Tip: Trace the line first with a powder shadow – once happy with the placement, trace over the powder with the colour of choice
9. Powder Lip Staines
Tip: Using a firm lip brush, gently sweep a shadow right up to and slightly over the lip edge for a blurred, diffused look. Try experimenting with a powdered ombré shade by applying a deep pink to the middle of the lips. Once done, blend a lighter tone around the deep pink, and then finish off with an orange around the edge
10. Watercolour Eyes
Tip: Switch up traditional diffused charcoals and greys (smokey eyes) with pale pinks, lilacs and yellow for a modern twist on an absolute classic
