Again, these are old generalisations and the obvious reality is that it varies hugely. Manchester in particular, has its clusters of fashion and beauty tribes. There’s the artsy-kids, vintage-lovers, punk-rockers, streetwear aficionados and yes, the wonderfully glam girls who know how to contour as well as any Kardashian. All approach beauty differently, according to their personal style.
Yet is there a noticeable difference between beauty trends in Manchester and London? Lauren Cokjuler doesn’t seem to think so. The Manchester based blogger said: “I think I used to see a difference between the North and South. The North reminds me more of vintage, band tees etc. But with social media and bloggers, I think people get much more inspiration than what they see in the street and magazines, so it’s very similar (which is not always a good thing!)” And what about the make-up? “I genuinely think beauty gurus from across the UK dictate what women wear on their face now.”
In 2020, Instagram and Youtube culture seems to define our beauty trends more than your postcode. When it comes to North/South divides there are far more obvious divisions than our tastes in beauty and fashion. That being said there are certainly some beauty trends that I see again and again in Manchester which I’ve outlined below.
