Spring/Summer 2011 Makeup Trends and a quick fotd of my favourite trend ;)

So here we go!


Sunkissed :)

Michael Kors



Natural :)

 D&G



Bright eyes :)

Derek Lam
 


 Colorful :)

Dior



Bright lips :)
Jil Sander


Bright lips and/or intense colors on eyes, fresh, healthy looking skin.
Rosy natural lips , smokey eyes without intense outer corners (intensify the inner lid up to the brow), bronzer.

The trend I adore: au naturel! The no-makeup makeup is my favourite.It needs a little bit of practice on blending and on imitating natural shadows,colors and curves of a face but it is so useful and flattering If it's done properly...You can wear it in the morning, when you have an interview or even for a first date , when you want to give the impression of "born with it" :)
What I do:
  • Eye liner on the upper waterline - instantly my lashes look thick (I use Blacktrack Fluidline by Mac)
  • Light makeup base or tinted moisturizer (I use Stila's Natural Finish Oil Free make up) with a brush (when I apply foundation with a brush my skin doesn't look cakey-it helps a lot to the "no-makeup" effect) 
  • Mac's Painterly paintpot on eyelids 
  • Kryolan's Oak to the crease blended well
  • Mac's "Mineral" eye shadow (it's Limited edition, any medium brown will work) to crease-outer v
  • Cream blusher blended very well (I use Stila's Convertible Color in"forget me not").You need a natural color of that, just to make you look flushed.Bright neon pink is a no-no.
  • Powder the T-zone (I use Mineralize Skinfinish Natural by Mac, is such a light powder, you can barely see it on face)
  • Mat bronzer to sculpt lightly nose , jawline and cheekbones (I use Mac's Golden Bronzing Powder which is not exactly mat but will work)
  • Put some mascara (Projectionist by Estee Lauder is incredible for looking completely natural and thick lashes)
  • Lip balm with color (I use Korres Wild Rose lip butter)
That's all from me for now... :) I'd love to know ...what's your favourite trend? Do you have a product that can be more wearable this season (green neon eye shadow for instance lol)?

XOXO

well I'm not very fond of the neutral looks...I always need a pop of color or something bolder on my makeup..especially now that spring is here...bold lips...colorfull eyes..I don't know I need something to get rid off all the autumn's black!

@Vintage Makeup: Yes the first look is so neat and easy, I love the hair too!
@Demi: Yes, bold lips will look so good on you, judging from your smiley photo! :)

I'm currently loving neon matte lips!!! Pink Nouveau by Mac has become a favourite, now I must get my hands on Impassioned or else I'll die from lust, lol!

Νομίζω το αγαπημένο μου είναι το look με τα bright lips αλλά και το natural look είναι πολύ ωραίο!

I like all of them! Natural make up is perfect for everyday but a touch of colour on eyes or lips is amazing too!!
