Top-5 Beauty Tendencies of Spring / Summer 2009
Despite the general seasonal trends, each brand offers its style of trousers, long dresses, shoes and color trends of makeup.
Alexander McQueen: naturalness
«In the nude» trend does not have lack of vitamins and sunlight. It seems that designers decided to save and not make-up their models before going on stage; in any case, there was an impression of that after the show of Alexander McQueen. But it should be mentioned that with minimum efforts he had amazing results. The spring freshness and aristocratic pallor was what doctor McQueen prescribed. The trend was expressed brightly by Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Calvin Klein, Burberry Prorsum, Prada, Christopher Kane, Balenciaga, Giambattista Valli, Fendi, Givenchy, Stella McCartney and Ralph Laurent.
Gucci: bright eyes
Juicy collection from Gucci was focused on eyes. Frida Giannini chose turquoise shades and a black pencil. Do not hide such beauty behind dark glasses! See also pink eyes by Jonathan Saunders’ collection, canary by Sportmax, ginger by Alexandre Herchcovitch and Rodarte and violet by Christian Lacroix.
Yves Saint Laurent: outlining
For an effective and efficient eye shooting just draw arrows on your eyelid. For its realization you will need liquid outline or pencil. But it should be black and only black. You will find such example in the collection of Yves Saint Laurent. We will advise you to use outlines from Moschino, Valentino, Giles, Dries van Noten.
Versace: Metallic
When you wear silver, gold or bronze clothes, shoes, handbags and jewelry you need to add such shadows to your skin. Donatella chose the combination of copper and gold. We can see violet lips in the show by Zac Posen and chocolate by Dior, a gold face by Missoni, silver eyes by Vera Wang and Giorgio Armani, bronze – by Oscar de la Renta.
Louis Vuitton: stressing lips and eyes
The first rule of old-fashioned make-up estheticians of accentuating only eyes or lips has lost its currency. Marc Jacobs believes that everything should look beautiful. So we are applying red chopstick as berry jelly on our lips and stress the eyes with smoky shadows. Remember that smoky eyes always look very sexy. We leave eyebrows and cheekbones in their natural way. You can observe such image on the models of Nina Ricci, Miu Miu and Dior.
