Spring/Summer 2011 makeup trends

Hey everyone!

I am absolutely loving the Spring/Summer makeup trends that have been all over the runway! Check them out and take some inspiration from them to update your look. They are by far the best trends set in quite some time..in my opinion :) This season its all fun,wearable,daring and most of all FASHIONABLE!

Pastels

 Pastel shades have been dominating the runway. From soft washes of lavender, to beautiful light and airy shades of pink,yellow,blue and greens. They are great if you want a more natural look. Brighten and liven up your complexion for a more youuthful playful spring!

Bright eyes

The Christian Dior shows were a perfect example of the bright eye makeup trend. The legendary makeup artist Pat Mcgrath and her team created block colours of acid greens, reds and oranges paired up with false eyelashes lots of mascara and matte skin. The key to this look is to use no more than two eyeshadows. This is great if you want to be bold, daring and have fun with your makeup.

Bold lips 


Red, fucshia, hot pink, orange you name it. Lips are bold, bright and hot this season. Keep skin clean and natural with an added touch of mascara to define eyes and let those luscious lips do the talking!

Smoke it


Smoky eyes never go out of style and seem to be a trend every season. This season use soft greys and blues with a hint of black to keep it sexy modern and fresh for those summer nights.

Bold lips and eyes

The rule has always been to play up one feature or another. This time were going to break the rules and have some fun! Play up those peepers and enhance those lips for a statement look. Keep it monochrome and in harmony with eachother for a more modern feel. This look isn't for the faint hearted!

Natural

The no makeup makeup look is always in trend for those who want to still look like themselves, but only better. Work with the natural contours and highlights of your face with soft browns,beiges and bone shades. Keep blush to a minimum by using it lightly and sparingly to give that natural "flush" using peaches and baby pinks.
