  Hot Summer, Cool Trends

Hairstyles from the Catwalk: This season's hottest runway hairstyles range from boy-short crops to long flowing tresses. Most popular trends include the bob, the fringe, the crop, the sleek side-part, soft and feminine, masculine, and colors.

Color Me Pretty: This year's hottest make-up trends - bright red lips and accentuated eyebrows - are channeling the glamor of the Art Deco era. Dark eyes and sharp cheekbones have also made their way onto this season's hot-list.

Lipstick Jungle: Bold, bright red lipstick is one of this year's hottest make-up trends. How to Wear It: With sleek glamorous hair and a smudge of black eyeliner.

Back to the '80s?: There's no need for panic, this time the bright, electric blues are bold and interesting without being over-the-top. How to Wear It: In bold color blocks or just a touch of blue mascara. The rest of the face should be bare - go for toned-down lips and cheeks.

Brooke Shields Knows Best: Natural eyebrows made a comeback years ago, but now it's being taken to the next level. Emphasis is on the thickness and darkness of the brow - on the runways they are being combed upwards to appear bushier. How to Wear It: Perfect grooming and symmetry are key. There is no room for mistakes - eyebrows must be neat, even, and symmetrical for the look to work.
