RELATED: Beauty trends to try in 2017

This month, the top trends include a throwback hair accessory and an unexpected eye makeup colour – and that’s just the beginning. If you love hair and makeup, you’re going to love this edit, beauties. Behold our favourite beauty trends for March...

Throwback hair accessories

Forget wet look hair and other modern hair trends – this month, we’re going back in time with vintage hair accessories. Adorn your tresses with pearl hair pins, hair gems and fancy velvet ribbons a la Tory Burch, for an ultra girly hair look. Not sure how to style your accessory of choice? Watch the video for some celebrity hair looks from the Oscars red carpet!

Vintage hair accessories

Rock retro hair: Sportsgirl Rose Velvet Bow Hair Tie ($9.95, sportsgirl.com.au), Witchery Pearl Hair Tie ($12.95, witchery.com.au), Love Rocks Rhinestone Burst Hair Clip Multipacks ($30, asos.com.au)

Cropped hairstyles

For a while there, we were #obsessed with long hair – but now cropped hair is officially back and better than ever. Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Janelle Monae and Jamie Lee Curtis are just a few of the celebrities with short hair on the red carpet. Not only is it super stylish, it’s also low maintenance and surprisingly versatile: With styles ranging from undercuts, to sweeping mohawks and pixie cuts.

Celebrities cropped hairstyle

Style a shorter ‘do: L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pixie Pommade, TONI&GUY Hair Care Creative Style Spray Wax, JUSTICE Professional Firm Clay

Cushion compacts

Cushion foundation took the beauty world by storm last year, but now cushion compacts are cropping up in every makeup category: Cushion blush, cushion eyeliner, cushion concealer, cushion correcting powder… the list goes on. Watch the video to find out my favourite thing about them (and let me know whether you can relate in the comments section, below!).

Cushion compacts

Play with cushion compacts: Lancôme Cushion Blush Subtil, Stila Got Inked Cushion Eyeliner ($40, mecca.com.au), Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude Cushion Stick

Blue eye makeup

Blue eye makeup is one of those trends that just keeps coming back. From smoky eyeshadow with a blue-ish hue at the Oscars, to bold blue reverse eyeliner (that is, bolder on the bottom lid) on Instagram, it’s everywhere at the moment. Watch the video to see my attempt at wearing the trend, and let me know about your own experiments with coloured eye makeup in the comments section, below!

March was the best month ever! Emma Stone always look good no matter what!

March was a bit of a radio silence month for me... but cool to read about the vintage hair accessories. Maybe they'll start popping up in Priceline soon?

I love how the old classics come back. The old retro looking hair accessories for one, you can recycle the same look years later and also the blue eyes coming back. My Mum wore the blue eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara when I was a teenager, I couldn't pull it off as well as her though. Your not buying something for a season because it always seems to come back.

Ive noticed COLOUR is back in a big way with eye makeup which is great. Mac has their 8 Shades of Mascara out at the moment which it is killing me that i can't buy then all! Wish i could do cropped hair, darn ringlet curls!!! GRR Ive got the undercut going though and I love it, have had it for 2 years now and its the best move ive ever made with my hair. My hair is crazy thick and having recently had a shoulder injury i can't manage the weight of my hair when brushing/styling so i shaved half of it off!

Love me some blue eye makeup, even just a smoked out liner. It looks nice on my brown eyes, especially when mixed with a little bit of gold eyeshadow

jlsta 7 Apr 2017 1:52 PM

I've always been a fan of hair trends, so love it!

Ms Jelena 6 Apr 2017 8:56 PM

Love the hair accessories - I've become such a fan lately!

LaurenCeh 5 Apr 2017 3:44 PM

Have to agree, watching productcome up through the sponge is so satisfying

FaceAttire 29 Mar 2017 5:44 PM

I love Jamie Lee Curtis so much! Her short hair always looks so amazing. I've been keeping my hair short for a few years and am just finally growing it out so I'm not brave enough to get it all chopped off!

The sponge on the Lancome foundation looks soft 'n bouncy.

skincare junkie 6 Apr 2017 7:36 PM

It's an Estee Lauder one!

Peta908 24 Mar 2017 10:02 AM

Love the short hair! My hair is thick and curly shop not really suited though

Stylesupplier 24 Mar 2017 12:56 AM

Lovly throwback hair accessories like like.

Sassy Cassy 22 Mar 2017 8:23 PM

I love the pixie hair cut. I just don't have the face shape to pull it off. Also love that vintage hair accessories have made a come back. I don't remember the last time I wore a hair accessory. Definitely doing that one.

Retro-glam 18 Mar 2017 1:26 AM

Oh my the hair bubbles and scrunshies I just adore. They really suit me and are so playfull and cute. Yes please. Love, 90s style

Goddess..... 17 Mar 2017 7:52 PM

I like the blue eye shadow looks really cool & the accessaries are ok depends on certain ones really but yeah I would wear both they would suit me.

Sally10 17 Mar 2017 4:40 PM

Those hair accessories are so pretty, and I love smoky blue eyeshadow :)

Chrystalage 17 Mar 2017 4:40 PM

The cropped hair looks so stylish. I could probably wear my hair cropped but the cost of regular visits to the hairdresser for upkeep is not in my budget

Dazza the wombat 17 Mar 2017 4:00 PM

The hair accessories are so pretty.

Dilettante 16 Mar 2017 3:05 PM

Did anyone else have bobble hair ties when they were young? The pearl hair tie reminds me so much of that!
