Experimental Beauty
The catwalk always offers mountains of designer inspiration to digest and the Spring/Summer 2010 collection is no different, but this season’s got a twist. Fashion is pushing to keep up with the latest Hollywood craze with films such as Twilight and 3D Avatar, embracing the realms of theatrical fantasy. Velvety white faces and blood stained lips have even crept in from last season- Alex Box, as the makeup artist for Gareth Pugh, eliminates the features and blood stains lips for a deathly look. The vampire craze can be seen throughout cosmetic collections with all shades of purple, so you can translate these looks into your own by going for a daring purple lip or splashed over your cheeks or eyes.
Smokey Brights
The signature smokey eye remains on the runways, but this time it’s taken more of a colourful turn. Designers such as Victorio & Lucchino and Pat McGrath for Dior go bolder and brighter with strong, statement colours, perfect for a summer night out! Simply choose your favorite colour from the rainbow palette for your smokey eye, using metallic or even glitter as your highlighter and team it with a dark liquid liner for definition to really make your eyes pop. And don’t be afraid to experiment further- update your new smokey eye with a ruby red pout, as long as you keep your cheeks plain. It’s all about bursting with vibrancy, so spin the colour wheel!
Super Skin
It’s time to start with the face masks because whatever looks you go for this spring and summer, beautifully bare looking skin is in! Let your natural skin tone shine through, whether you’re a lunar girl with lighter, porcelain shades or naturally warm and sun-kissed. Dewy, radiant complexions symbolise healthy skin. Don’t over powder your t-zone and be sure to add luminescent shimmer or shine- highlight your cheekbones, brow bones and inner corners of your eye. All skin tones are flattered and not to mention sculpted with illuminating products, but if you feel you want a splash of colour for a pale complexion, go for subtle pastel or natural blush.
