So many of the runway looks that inspire the new seasons are very, cool, unique and trendy but they are just not practical in the real world. But a few this season can be translated into everyday life without you looking like an alien on an unknown planet. Here are a few of my favorites for Spring 2012.
1. Bronzed skin, as seen on the Michael Kors spring runway. This look can be created easily with a matte bronzer, stay away from the shimmer bronzers for this one. Using a large face/blush brush lightly sweep the bronzer on in an E shape fashion on your face concentrating on all the high points, or where the sun naturally hits your face. Forehead, cheeks, nose and lower chin. You can even carry the look down to your decollete. Keep the rest of your makeup light. The focus here is on your beautifully bronzed skin. Gorgeous and easy.
2. Bright lips as seen at Jason Wu. This season it's all about the colors you would have left in grandma's make up vanity. My grandmother loved corals. Who knew years later they would be all the rage? Well, this season bright lips are in. Think bright pinks, corals, crimson reds. All bright make a maximum impact but use just the lips as the focal point, and if you are going to work the bright lips leave the dark grey smoky eye for another day.
3. Cat eyes, I think of the gorgeous and iconic Sophia Loren when I think of the cat eye. This year Dolce & Gabbana was all about a wispy cat eye and it was intoxicating. Get out your liquid liners girts because the cat is back and it's super hot. Meow!
4. Full Brows, put the tweezers away this season because the full brow is in. Just a little clear brow gel and a brush into place and your brows are set and you are ready to go.
These are a few of my favorite wearable trends for Spring 2012. Comment below and tell me which one you like the best.
I really miss my full brows. I was born with brows like Brooke Shields but over the years with waxing, they've become more thin. I adore the full brow look!
ReplyDeleteI love the cat eye look! Sophia Loren says it all.
I've always been afraid of trying color on my lip because they're full and I didn't want to draw attention to them. But, I can't wait to see if these pops of color work well for me.
