SALLY SALON SERVICES ran a SS19 photoshoot to showcase the latest trends in beauty. Lydia Mormen went behind the scenes

Ukbeauty and hair supplier Salon Services held the Sally’s SS19 Showcase for beauty pros and press, to forecast the 2019 trends in make-up, nails and hair that clients will be queuing up to get as soon as spring arrives. Inspired by the season’s boldest trends, Salon Services’ experts interpreted SS19 predictions to bring out clients’ confidence. The trends are about expressing individuality and putting your creativity in the limelight.

While this season’s make-up has a matte, neutral finish, it can be emboldened with a slick of metallic colour on the eyelids, and complemented with colour blocking on the nails. Bold palettes of fresh teal and iconic red can be softened with muted tones of terracotta.

Make a bold and stylish statement with high-contrast colour blocking on mid-length nails. Strong shapes and vivid shades let your clients’ personality shine.

STEP 1 Use ASP Powerset acrylic pink and sculpt the nails into a neat olive shape. Leave the length shorter to create an edgy look

STEP 3 Using a dotting tool and black gel polish, add definition with even lines of dots along the edges of your colour blocks
