Beauty Trends for April 2017

If you’re anything like me, you love to keep across the latest beauty trends. More often than not, they’re a bit out of your comfort zone, but every now and then, one crops up that inspires you to refresh your look or routine – with #nextlevel results.

RELATED: Beauty trends to try in 2017

So, keep an open mind, unleash your inner creative and allow yourself to be inspired by some new beauty looks this April. Because your next big beauty win could be just around the corner...

Corkscrew curls

Curly-haired girls, rejoice! Corkscrew curls are back on trend, with fashion houses like Gucci and Altuzarra showcasing all kinds of curly, crispy ringletty ‘dos on the runway. To ensure you’re not repping the pad perm that your mum had in the 80s, keep your outfit clean and chic. The end result? A sexy, playful, effortless and eye-catching beauty look. What’s not to love?

Create some curls: muk curl stick, VS Sassoon Curl Secret, Goldwell Curl Curl Love

Liquid face peels

At-home facial peels have been around for some time, but they’ve been growing in popularity – and we can see the a-peel (pun intended!). Rather than using exfoliating particles to buff away dead skin cells manually, the chemical formulas gently dissolve them without agitating your skin. If you ask us, it’s pretty satisfying saying sayonara to those little clumps of dead skin (and that soft baby skin underneath can’t be beat!).

Slough it off: The Body Shop Drops of Youth Liquid Peel, DMK Micro Peel, ANTHEIA Liquid Micro Peel

Colour-changing lipsticks

Colour-changing lipsticks are now a thing, and they’re taking the world of personalised beauty products by storm. When the formulas touch your lips, they transform into a specific hue based on the chemistry of your skin, which means you have the ultimate lipstick shade for you. Pretty cool, huh?

Personalise your pout: e.l.f. cosmetics Gotta Glow Lip Tint, Lipstick Queen Mornin' Sunshine Lipstick ($25, spacenk.com), Sassy Lips Make The Moment ($32.70 approx, sassylips.us)

Pastel everything

Just in time for Easter, pretty pastels are popping up everywhere in the beauty world right now. From pastel hair colours (including Dani Minogue’s new dye job), to frosty makeup palettes, beauty lovers worldwide are ditching bold hues in favour of soft, unicorn-esque shades. I love pastel purple or lilac eyeshadow to bring out my green eyes, but minty green, peach and pale pink are just as pretty!

Prettify yourself with pastels: Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit - Aurora ($52.80 approx, anastasiabeverlyhills.com), Lush Chick 'N' Mix

I have a colour changing lip gloss by Smashbox, guaranteed to be the prefect shade every time.

I think I'd like to try a liquid face peel. No harm in trying to see if it really works.

I love my Ulta3 Colour changing lipstick. I am amazed at how many different shades I get depending on my skin's PH level. I somehow believe everytime I wear it , it somehow matches the colour of the top i am wearing.

Mmm, that Aurora palette :))

I would love to try a liquid peel the Body shop one sounds like it would be an ideal product.

Tigerlily 28 Apr 2017 8:16 PM

Oooh I want to try the liquid peels! Sounds so effective.

I have curls like that when I let my hair dry naturally. I have trouble embracing them though - I just don't think they suit me and it makes me look like an overgrown Shirley Temple!

That egg/chick bath comb is the cutest! Would make a cute Mother's Day gift with a bottle of champagne and fluffy bath robe ! :)

I'd love to be able to those curls, I have definitely tried but with no luck :(

Matama 26 Apr 2017 12:06 PM

Must get the mood changing lipstick, would be fun to give as gifts

Platinum Ms 25 Apr 2017 1:02 PM

Lipstick wow its like a mood ring changes colours - like it!

Trash__x 24 Apr 2017 1:19 AM

I'd love to be able to achieve curls like that! But sadly I can never manage to get my hair to hold a curl for very long.

And that Glow Kit is to die for! I definitely need one of those in my life.

Gotta love the colour change lipstick, fun and intriguing with a splash of daring. Who knows what colour they're going to end up wear

Gea 23 Apr 2017 4:11 PM

Color changing lipsticks - I had never even heard of them. What an awesome idea, it would also make a great gift - a bit of a surprise there :)

leesja 22 Apr 2017 12:07 PM

The Colour-changing lipstick sounds fun. Hmmmmm, wonder what colour I'd end up with?

Beckky 21 Apr 2017 1:34 PM

Love the curls!

Colour changing lipstick looks fun. I had one when I was a kid and it looks like they are making a return. I want one, even my kids would love to play with this!

Colour changing lipsticks are so cool. I never really find they turn a nice shade on my pale skin but I still love to play around with them anyway!
