Beauty school dropout

Turn back time and what young girl didn’t want to be a ‘Pink Lady’ after seeing Grease? Most recognisable by their satin lined, powder pink, bomber style jackets partnered with pink blush on their cheeks, and you’ve got yourself the classic ‘Beauty School Drop Out’.

One of the best things about this trend is its versatility to flatter a variety of skin tones and easy way of softening the more edgy look. In true Grease style, it works perfectly for those carefree ‘summer nights’ making use of the pale pink and blue palette, which is the palette for SS15.

Think back to Valentine’s Day and you’ll recall the subtler of the looks – the ‘soft romantic’. Whether making a statement is your thing or not, this particular beauty trend allows you to make a choice between the two. Pastel makeup seems like the obvious choice when it comes to spring beauty, but to compliment the season, you want a colour palette that looks and feels light, fresh and perfect for the sunny weather.

So, when packing your make up bag for holiday this summer, remember it’s all about super-saturated pastels that snap! Be bolder with it – don’t just follow the crowd with the conventional girly approach. Paint your lips with vivacious peaches, pinks that pop or a vibrant plum shade they won’t see coming. If beauty school’s not for you, make sure you graduate to the top of the style class instead!

Time for a topknot!
Following last month’s article which focused on those longer locks, there’s now the option for men to wear their hair tied back. Enter the top knot – or as it’s often referred to, the ‘man bun’. Like the ‘Beauty School Drop Out’ trend, worn in individual styles, this look could suit almost anyone. I have previously covered the (excuse the pun) ever-growing trend of men sporting a beard and this look in particular offers an interesting and sophisticated contrast between the beard and the bun.

Lots of stylists and grooming experts are now encouraging men to grow their hair. Generally, men with long hair tend to keep it in better condition than women, as women fiddle with it too much – myself included! To create the perfect topknot, be sure to apply a matte hair product to the ends to help keep control in the wind. A key look this season is experimenting with texture – think polished yet understated, appearing effortless and naturally messy. For men, the key is to style with your fingers. There’s no need for a hairbrush or a blow dry like women do, as this creates volume where you don’t want it – the idea is to create a relaxed look. So, if you’ve got the beard, why not embrace the bun too?
