Take a sneak peek at the Fall-Winter makeup and hair trends, courtesy our cinematic and celebrated muses.
Autumn is round the
corner, and it is time to discover new
ways to look your beautiful best. Before you decide to change your hairstyle or buy more makeup, we tell you what’s going to rock in the coming
season. It’s most fun taking your cue
from the cult looks of yesteryear divas,
from sepia memories of celluloid goddesses and ramp legends to celebrated artists. The accessories and makeup styles popularised by them keep on evolving and
blending with the contemporary in a
fashion that blurs timelines.

Audrey Hepburn is to hats
what the Oscars are to cinema. She
elevated the humble headpiece as her
style statement in the ’50s and ’60s,
both on and off the screen. She wore
floppy hats, pill box hats and
headbands with an aplomb that continues
to inspire hair trends till date.

Nude
Marilyn Monroe had just one makeup artist from
her first screen test to her funeral.
Allan Whitey Snyder, the makeup
genius of the ’50s and ’60s gave her face the nude look (except the scarlet pout) when pancake
ruled the roost.

Braided
Frida Kahlo’s style was
not only about exotic and colourful
dresses but also about bright scarves
braided into a bun – a lesson in
flamboyance.

Artsy
Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic role as Cleopatra was a revolution in eye makeup. We must
give a standing ovation to the
colourful eyelids.

Oh, boy!
Twiggy, with her boyish crop and waifish figure, is still very much a face of reference
today. The British beauty was the
darling of designers, photographers
and billboards in the ’60s.
Oh,
boy!
Just Lips
Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction perfected the pout. Anyone care to compete with Quentin Tarantino’s muse? Wear your
face bare, and just dress your lips
in an intense brick red or hot pink.
