MOMMA KNOWS… winter beauty trends 2015 (lips and nails)

I’ve already shared some of the hot winter eye makeup trends but as far as lips and nails, these are all the winter beauty trends 2015 has to offer.  Nails and lips are often a great place to experiment with color and this season is no different, while polishes can get wilder than lipsticks there are still plenty of options to be experimenting with.  Winter beauty trends 2015 are all about a touch of sparkle, a lot of shine and a splash of vibrance.  Whether you want to make a statement (without saying a word) or prefer to go with more safe and subtle lips and nails I have lots of options for you!  Check out some of my favorite winter beauty trends 2015 that will transform your look for the New Year!

RED LIPS:

Everything from ruby red to deep oxblood, this winter is all about statement lips.  Of course, the super rich blood red may not appropriate for daytime, whether at the office or lunch with friends (reserve this trend for an evening out on the town) but Taylor Swift has proven a gorgeous pop of red lip and more neutral eye can be captivating at any time.  This crimson lip is bold, sexy and every celebrity is rocking it on the red carpet just as so many models were seen sporting it on the fall/winter runway.  It might just be time for you to start experimenting with these deeper hues….

PEACH LIP:

So, yes, deep red lips are hot for evening, but for daytime nothing beats the safe yet pretty peachy pout.  A step up from your natural lip tone it gives a supple yet feminine touch to your makeup.  And while it’s perfect for day it still transitions beautifully into the evening.  A great peach perfect lip might be just what your makeup kit needs.

GLITTER LIPS:

We saw plenty of metallics for eyes, but they were also supremely popular for the lips.  Add a touch of sparkle to your makeup with a soft, pretty, glittery lip.  The glittery lip is quite a bold makeup choice so best to keep everything else quite neutral (unless of course you are walking down a runway or Lady Gaga).  It’s one part feminine and one part rock and roll – so you choose how to wear it!

NUDE NAILS:

Perhaps a backlash against all the crazy colors and designs, the Fall/Winter runway showed and array of barely there polish.  Whether sandy hues or a classic clear or ballet slipper tint – there was a back to basics approach to nails…  Still shiny looking and healthy but in that perfect flesh toned kind of way.

 

RUBY RED NAILS:

Well, with crimson lips comes the gorgeous red talons.  Talk about glam – there were plenty of beautiful red nails to gawk at during the fall/winter collections.  Again, it feels a bit back to brass tacks – this isn’t the wild crazy manicures we were used to seeing – but perfectly polished red nails scream old hollywood glam like no other color.

 

50 SHADES OF GRAY NAILS:

We saw lots of grey clothes on the runway, and there is a movie you might have heard of by the same name – but there were a great array of grays to capture your manicurists attention.  Everything from charcoal to dove gray these neutral polishes might be exactly what you want this season.  Lets face it – gray pretty much goes with everything!

METALLIC NAILS:

Of course, if we’re seeing metallic for lips and eyes we’re definitely seeing it for nails.  Sparkly hues of polish glittered the runway and are always a crowd favorite.  Gold, silver and everything in between were hot hot hot for manis on the fall/winter catwalk.
