We are now well into the swing of 'Fashion Month,' and the Spring/Summer beauty trends are popping up thick and fast. Now, all eyes are on Milan Fashion Week. Every city usually has its own vibe going on, and whilst New York is effortlessly cool and London has an experimental edge, Milan always sets the tone with power and polish. Think tailoring and luxurious fabrics - chic with a capital C. On the beauty side, the models and beauty set tend to lean into elegant styles but with a twist. Hairstyles often swing between sleek finishes or dreamy, undone styles that ooze luxury. Makeup trends are also very bold yet feminine - think strong eyeliner, bold red lips and bronzed cheekbones that scream sun-drenched Italian summer.

In case you missed the memo: bold hair colours are back in style. The Vivids, which according to Toni & Guy's, Jo O’Neill, “embody a progressive and provocative attitude aligning them with rebellion and expression.” Fun! When it comes to styling, O’Neill recommends vivid sections to add a pop to blonde or brunette bases. “Deeper and darker depth colours always give an opulent feel to the hair, with a high gloss shine from root to tip. The tones we will see are those deep rich, opulent cherry reds, rich burgundy and cinnamon.”
