Makeup Trends on the Runway this Summer

The Oh So Natural Look

Skin will always be in! Even though I love doing dramatic makeup, I also love a very clean and natural “no-makeup” look. Getting it just right actually takes more to perfect than just popping color everywhere.

The trick:

Stick to monochromatic colors in your complexion and BLEND BLEND BLEND! A little bit goes a long way.

Bold Matte Lips

Colorful matte lips have been the number one look I’ve seen on the runway for spring/summer 2010.

How you can rock this look:

Since the lips are so bold, keep the eyes simple. Play up the cheeks a bit with a shimmering highlighter for a nice glow in a soft bronzy or peachy tone.

Multicolored Eyes

I have to admit, I am loving the play up of colors on the eyes. Green, yellow, blue, purple, fuchsia, etc…I am loving it!!! 

Want to have the look:

Play with contrasting colors. You do not have to match your eye makeup with your wardrobe. Use a tinted moisturizer instead of a heavy foundation for the natural look with a touch of glow. Skip the lip liner and go straight to the gloss.

Bold Eyes

Smokey eyes are still on the scene as well as tons of lashes.

Play it up:

Instead of black, create smokey eyes with color. Try playing with greens, blues, and purples. Use black liner on the top and bottom lashline and don’t forget tons of lashes and/or mascara. Remember, you want the attention to your eyes; stick with nude lips for this look - go for a nude lip pencil and apply it all over the lips with a touch of gloss on top.
