Pretty Pastels

April 14th, 2011

It just wouldn’t be Spring without pastels. The washed out version of the brights, these pale shades are definitely the way to update your look. for adorable makeup looks. Mint was used just in the inner corner of the eye at Preen. Lavender shadow wrapped around the eye at Etro, with sherbet orange lips, was one of my favourite combo’s. Pale lime eyes at Ferretti looked whimsical and fresh. Don’t stop with your makeup. Every wardrobe should have a few soft-hued items to really represent the trend. I am not one to miss out on a runway trend, and as soon as the rain stops I intend to step out in my patent lilac pumps!

Soft Brows Without the Bleach

April 6th, 2010

I’m obsessed with bleached eyebrows. I’ve been intrigued by them for awhile, and would actually like to lighten my own a couple of shades. I realize the majority of people are not going to go to such extremes, but it happens to be a fixture on the runway this season and last. So I recommend keeping your brows soft rather than heavily defining with shadow or brow pencil. Basically you only need to fill in the gaps in your brows. If you have dark hair try using a brow gel that’s tinted lighter than your natural brow colour.

Remember taking away the brows draws more attention to your eyes, so make sure to play them up.
