FACE MASKSIt didn't happen if you didn't gram it. Kiwi beauty vlogger Shannon Harris of Shannnxo is a fan of the nourishing beauty regime, as too are Man Repeller's Leandra Medine, local model Holly Rose-Emery and singer Miley Cyrus. Perfect for those wanting to avoid pricey skin care products, face masks are an affordable and easy way to cleanse and moisturise your skin.
NAIL ARTGo big, go bold or go home. This statement maker has skyrocketed in popularity in recent months, with Kylie Jenner, Lily Allen and Rita Ora fans adorning their fingertips inspiring a raft of celebrity nail artists including L.A based Britney Tokyo (@britneytokyo) and Sophy Robson (@sophynails). With jewels, studs, stickers, decals and diamantes the killer manicure is super inconvenient and wildly unsuitable for completing everyday tasks but who cares if your nails are on #fleek?
SPLASHES OF GOLDThe golden touch is having a moment. After the beauty look featured in Prada's SS16 show last month - which was later revealed as superstar makeup artist Pat McGrath's original creation entitled 'Gold 001' - it has gained traction on social media, from subtle shimmers on the lids to thick glossy metallic slicks on the lips.
BLUE HUESBlue lined eyes are blowing up on insty following runway show appearances and celebrities trying out the look. As seen at Sean Kelly's NZ Zealand Fashion Week show, Karen Walker's latest campaign and Taylor Swift at the Emmys, the beauty look draws attention to your eyes making them appear larger and whiter. Easy to apply and a refreshing look for summer.
THE HUNArguably one of the biggest hair trends right now – The Hun. The messy half-bun is low-maintenance and an effortless off-duty look.

NO MAKEUPModel Lily Aldridge, Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen and Queen Bey Beyonce have jumped on the make-up free bandwagon – a refreshing change from heavily done up faces with the help of makeup artists or Photoshop.
