Trend make up artist Rae Mathieson outlines the top beauty trends to note for Autumn 14 from the runways of London, New York, Paris and Milan fashion weeks.


Big and Bold Bold and defined brows were key at the Gaultier show. Take this trend from the runway to routine by keeping brows natural and neatly defined – threading is my preferred choice for shaping and grooming brows. Define and perfect the brow shape with MAC Eye Brows – self propelling and self sharpening, these brow pencils are perfect for giving definition, shape and colour in a swift and streamlined application. MAC Eyebrows, available in 6 shades from MAC Cosmetics at Union Square.
