Get the lavera Look

As we head towards the end of the year, AW12 catwalk trends indicate that the must-have look is all about top knots, berry red lips, heavy lids and bold brows. lavera has just the right products to achieve all 4 of these trends, all completely natural and organic and not a synthetic ingredient in sight!

Top knots work best on hair that hasn’t been freshly washed (a day after shampooing is ideal). First off, put your hair in a high pony tail, then wrap the hair into a top knot, and secure in place with hair grips. You can go for a sleek and tidy finish, but a slightly dishevelled look works just as well. Use lavera’s Volume and Shine Organic Hairspray to hold the style firmly in place.

Liquid eyeliner is key to achieving the heavy lid look. Don’t hold back – apply a thick sweeping line of black liquid eyeliner across the upper lash line, tapering at the end for an elegant finish. Keep the rest of the lid light and natural with Beautiful Mineral Eyeshadow in Golden Beige if you are wearing this with the berry lips; but finish with lashings of mascara, try lavera’s Intense Volumising Mascara for extra impact.

Eyebrows are bold and heavy this season (think Brooke Shields in her younger days), so it’s time to pay some attention to them. Even though the thicker brow is in, they still need to be neat and tidy, so use lavera’s Style & Care Gel to achieve this look, it’s perfect. It provides a nice finish to your brows, defining your look, but the bonus is that it nourishes them as well. The Style & Care Gel contains organic liquorice root and organic sea buckthorn to give a natural shine, providing a gorgeous finish.

For berry red lips, lavera’s Trend make-up has two great ones to choose from, the classic Beautiful Lips in Deep Red (number 04) or Red Berry Charm (number 05) for a more cranberry-red finish. The red lip look works on both blondes and brunettes, so go for it - find your shade and be brave!

It’s great (and perhaps unexpected) that there  is an innovative young team who work on product development at lavera, which means there is always natural and organic make-up available to keep your look bang on trend and up-to-date, and chemical-free!
