There were plenty of big beauty moments this year.
Keep scrolling to discover the biggest beauty trends from Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2022.

Natural Hair & Skin

Natural Hair & Skin
This is your sign to stretch out that blow-dry another day. Radiant skin was in this AAFW, effortlessly paired with healthy-looking, natural hair. For skin, it was all about maximising skincare to get a natural glow and applying minimal makeup only where it’s needed. For the hair, roots were kept clean while stylists backstage embraced the natural hair texture using Redken’s One United treatment to keep strands hydrated.
Lots of Colour
On the runway, we spotted pops of colour on the models in bright shades of blue, fuchsia and orange. Most wore coloured eyeshadow in either the crease of their eyelid or the inner corners of their eyes.
Lots of Colour

Another way to wear colour this season was demonstrated by stylist Deni Todorovič. “I've gone and a little hair transformation with Redken. This week, they dyed my hair pink, especially for Fashion Week,” they said. Deni’s hair was treated with Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate Lotion, a leave-in treatment that enhances colour and maintains shine.

‘90s Grunge

‘90s Grunge
We’ve found your next party look. Smudged dark eye makeup in black, charcoal and blue paired perfectly with hair that looked unwashed, yet glamourous – giving an on-trend Euphoria vibe. ‘90s style hair is all about texture and volume so if you’re wanting to recreate the look at home, keep an eye out for products that’ll give your hair a boost. We love the Redken Volume Injection Shampoo and Conditioner duo for lift and body.
Slicked Hair
The slicked hair trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and it was seen at multiple shows this year. Models showcased an elevated, wet look with hair blow-dried smooth before oil was applied to the hair to add sheen to the style. We spotted the Redken Frizz Dismiss Anti Static Oil being used backstage.
