Beauty Trends for December 2016

December is here, which means summer has finally begun! But that’s not all that’s got me excited. To top it off, there are four #nextlevel new beauty trends to try.

If you’re a Christmas fanatic like me, you’re going to fall in love with the festive makeup and manis taking over Instagram. Oh, and there’s also a wine-inspired hair colour, a booming beauty category, and a very exciting annual event coming up!

Without any further ado, here are the best beauty trends to top off 2016...

Christmas makeup and manis

It wouldn’t be a December beauty trends video without a mention of Christmas-themed beauty looks! From dorky Christmas jumper-inspired manicures to elaborate eye makeup looks, Instagram is offering up some serious festive beauty inspo. Watch the video above and share your favourite look in the comments section below!

Victoria’s Secret Angels in Paris

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs in Australia in a couple of days, and if you ask me, it’s never been more hotly anticipated. December will see our obsession with the girls’ hair and makeup looks soar to new heights – not to mention our interest in the Victoria’s Secret Angels’ health and fitness routines!

Rosé hair

Formerly known as rose-gold hair, rosé hair isn’t technically a groundbreaking new shade – but there’s never been a better incentive to jump on board the bandwagon. Celebrities and Instagram beauties alike love the subtle hue, which is similar to the peach emoji hair we saw in September – just subtler. Watch the video above and see for yourself just why it’s set to be HUGE for summer.

Supplements and ‘ingestible beauty products’

Beauty supplements have been around for quite a while, but a recent study showed they are now the fastest growing beauty category, proving competition for traditional creams and serums. Count yourself as a fan? Tell us what you think of your beauty supplement of choice in the comments section below.

"beauty supplements" in hocus pocus formulas do not work at all. ONLY one thing work: whole fresh raw fruits/nuts/seeds/veg/seaweed....they are abundant in all that our body craves for that perfect beauty inside not just out!

I have my own trend. Whatever I feel like and it is based on minimalism. I like here that rose hair, so pretty on some people!

the eye makeup in the article looks so creative. if i did something like that i would end up rubbing my eyes and wrecking the eyeshadow art!!!

I like the look of rose-gold hair but I haven't seen anyone with it in real life.

I was too sick to try anything fun over the Christmas break, sadly.

clearcrystalwater 29 Dec 2016 3:15 PM

I don't think I've ever had eye makeup as fancy as that! Wow!

I have some of the Swisse and take that nightly but will check out the beauty chef

Chrystalage 28 Dec 2016 12:07 PM

I've seen the pink hair quite a bit lately and on some women, it's ageing

Meedee 19 Dec 2016 2:32 PM

The Rose hair is so very pretty. I think when im a little old lady im going to go for that look.

clearcrystalwater 16 Dec 2016 6:33 PM

I need to buy some more Glow - nearly out!

C.L.A.U. 14 Dec 2016 12:18 PM

Ah, I love rose hair, I wish I could have it without damaging my hair!

TheDevineOne 8 Dec 2016 9:22 PM

Candy cane nails! So cute!

jatz 8 Dec 2016 6:49 PM

Wow to the Christmas eye - people are so talented. Love seeing the Christmas nails too. I saw someone the other day with Rose Hair and she looked gorgeous but on me.......nope, I don't think so.

clearcrystalwater 8 Dec 2016 2:41 PM

If I wore nails like that I'd be reminded of minty candy canes and I'd have to buy some to eat - vegan ones of course - which I think they almost all are which is great!

Jess R 8 Dec 2016 7:40 AM

Im tring the Swisse hair skin and nails as I received as part of my BIB prize.

Beautybabe140194 7 Dec 2016 10:48 PM

Loving the christmas eye makeup pictured above. Keen to try some Christmas nail art.

2663anne 7 Dec 2016 8:33 PM

I feel so old, the only thing I would be interested in is the hair, but since my natural is almost black it's way too hard with a 4yo.

Jlgaddes 7 Dec 2016 8:33 PM

Love the rose coloured hair, looks so pretty.

blackkittykat 7 Dec 2016 7:56 PM

I love the Christmas make up and nails, but would never do it myself. I am keen to try QSilica and see if it helps me out; also keen to see more of this rose gold hair.

Hayley644 7 Dec 2016 6:42 PM

Love Q Silica products.

Marza 7 Dec 2016 3:55 PM

these trends are not for me

Vi 7 Dec 2016 10:58 AM

I like the Christmas nails and eye shadow. I wouldn't wear it though as I think it's more suited to a teenager

cityglenda 7 Dec 2016 9:28 AM

Love the Christmas nails! If only I had the patience to do them.

Snazzie 7 Dec 2016 8:06 AM

The christmas nail polish is very cute. The christmas eye shadow is amazing .. how do they do that? I really like the rose hair .. very pretty!

Linda_Vesinger 7 Dec 2016 2:23 AM

the Xmas manicures are often a hoot, I saw an article on a US site with lots of photos that had me in stitches.
