#2. Mauve Nails
Pinterest recently reported a 150% increase in the search for 'mauve nails'. A chic nod to the pastel nail trend without going too playful and girly. Choose a mauve hue for your next at-home mani to keep your nails right on point.
 
One our fave mauves is Essence The Gel Nail Polish in Love Me Like You Do.

#3. Accent Plaits
You've heard of the accent nail, and this summer we're doing the accent plait.
 
Leave hair loose and plait one or two small sections at random, or plait strands of your hair while it's up in a ponytail. It's an easy way to instantly update your 'do.
 
Use Easy Waves Anti Frizz Oil Sheen Spray to bring a shine to your hair and keep summer frizz at bay.

#4. Holographic Make Up
The trend of shiny pastel tones that catch the light as you move is having a serious moment. Go multipurpose by using one highlighter to accent three different areas of your face.
 
To get holographic eyes, combine a pastel eye shadow with a shimmery white highlighting powder, stick or pencil. For your cheeks mix highlighter with your blush instead of bronzer, and then use a cool, pastel lipstick and lightly dab on highlights onto the centre of both lips.
 
Our product picks: Catrice's two-in-one matte/luminous Brow Lifter & Highlighter, LA Girl's Velvet HiLite Contour Stick and Catrice's Highlighting Eyeshadow in Turn the Highlights On.

#5. Fake Freckles
Freckles are like nature's anti-ageing spots, except the way you get them (by lying in the sun) is extremely ageing.
 
Rather take an eyebrow pencil in a shade of brown that suits you and lightly dot a few freckles on your nose and cheeks. You'll look five years younger and ten times cuter.
 
Experiment with this playful trend with Essence's Eyebrow Designer Pencil in Dark Brown.

#6. Brown Lipstick
If the bright lipstick trend doesn't quite work for you, the shade on everyone's lips at the moment is different hues of brown. You can wear it bold and matte or shiny and metallic.
 
We just loove the metallic lip trend. Give it a try with LA Girl Metal Liquid Lipstick in Bronzed.

#7. Messy Hair
Don't you love it when a low-maintenance look is on-trend? Natural hair is the best thing that's happened to many of us girls.
 
If your hair is straight, sleep with it in plaits or a topknot to achieve the perfect bedhead. Or cheat it by plaiting and tying up your hair then gently tugging at it in small sections to give it that tousled look.
 
Just be sure to keep those tresses in top form with a weekly hair mask. We recommend Argan Oil Hydrating Hair Mask. Dark & Lovely Au Naturale Afro-Moisturising Butter is perfect for conditioning natural hair on the go.

#8. Glowing Skin
No one loves the no-make-up trend as much as your purse. Keeping your face looking bare and minimal is hot right now, just as long your skin is glowing.
 
Use a dewy finish BB cream or foundation. Then skip the setting powder, and amp up the highlighter. Now all you need is a light lick of mascara and you're good to go.
 
Our best product pick which won't cost the earth is LA Girl Pro HD BB Cream.

#9. Layered Eyeliner
One of the biggest red-carpet trends is layered eyeliner in two (or more) different shades. And it’s easy to why - it really makes your eyes pop. Apply two layers on the top (or bottom) lid or use different hues for the top and bottom lines.
 
Give the pastel trend a go with a combo of black and pink, or try a pretty lilac with a turquoise blue or a pastel green. The bonus? You can pretty much limit your eye look to just the liners and a slick of mascara.
 
Experiment with Catrice Kohl Kajal in My Dream of Caribbean - a shade which will suit most skin tones.
