Spring Summer 2010 is the season of the statement lipstick. Bold, bright, orangey red colours were splashed all over the runways. This vibrant colour was seen mostly in a matte texture. Although the colour is intense it makes green and blue eyes pop beautifully, and enhances an olive skin tone. Let your lips be the focus feature and the rest of your make up be neutral for a modern Spring look.

If you are like me then you are so ready for the weather to change so we can get into the new season. I love seeing all the new ad campaigns because they set the tone for the season for make up, hair and fashion trends. Above are some of my favourites for Spring/Summer 2010. Armani showed  a very blunt fringe and sculpted cheekbones. Sonia Rykiel, Prada and St. John all showcased strong bright lips in different textures.  As a fan of the bleached brow trend, and high shine orangey red lips I particularly like the Prada campaign. Brows were also the stand out feature on Longchamp’s ad. Patent black highly arched suit Sasha’s already severe features. Alexander McQueen never fails to set the bar for innovation. Those shoes have been the most talked about foot wear of the Spring season. The snakes are unbelievable. This is the most visually stimulating ad I’ve seen in a while.
