They are forecasting things into the future that we could not even imagine. I think that American magazines are so safe and not quite as avante guard. I love looking at fashion in terms of what textures are being used in clothes and in what colors. Makeup will definitely reflect on that. I read a lot and also look at young people on the street.
Young people are spot on with trend.
I try to take something I've seen, read about, or heard about and throw my own twist into the overall makeup look. I have even done makeup based on dreams that I have had. You have to adopt trends to fit into a person's makeup personality and be versatile. In general, makeup should be genderless and to me is an art. Two things, one on a positive note and one on a negative note.
