The New Year calls for a fresh new look in hair and makeup. However, a change doesn't have to require much effort; one or two new makeup and styling products can completely update your appearance. Here Laiqa Hassan outlines three key looks for the year 2005.

"The look for 2005 is extremely versatile and creative," says stylist Laiqa Hassan. "Emphasis is more on colour and hair texture in harmony with one's personality."

While styles change with season and evolve each year, it should be kept in mind that fashion should not be followed blindly instead employed in your lifestyle as a tool to enhance your personality. Being a fashion victim is the worse thing you can do to yourself so stay clear of superficial style.

Makeup and hair trends for the New Year are based on global trends in fashion, society, hair and makeup, incorporated in a glorious Eastern fusion. Ethnic Flow, Graphic Twist and Wild Deluxe are three variations depicted by Laiqa here.

Ethnic Flow is described as natural, essential and comfortable. A person looking for Ethnic Flow is someone who focuses on everything that is essential and real. The look reflects nature as warm and cool shades merge in natural harmony. The hair softly frames the face and transmits a feeling of comfort and protection.

Graphic Twist is expressive, exceptional and high-contrast. It is for someone who has the courage to be different in character and personality. Clear, strong colours, geometric patterns and surfaces create the new Graphic Twist look.

Wild Deluxe is sophisticated, individual and exotic. It is for the individual who is looking to spice up her everyday life with exotic influences and mystery. The cuts are rich in contrast, colours are bright and dramatic and the look combines untamed wildness with sophisticated luxury.

Makeup Forecast 2005:

Eyes are more dramatic, with glossy eyeshades in turquoise, gold and maroon for evenings and pale matte pink or beige for daytime.

Eyelashes go thick with lots of mascara.

Lips are shiny in shades of pink, brown or gold and truly dramatic in red.

Cheeks are rosy with a natural blush.

An all over bronzing powder for that added finishing touch to your overall look.
