Beauty Trends For 2012: 5 Looks To Try Out
Stay on the cutting edge of beauty by following 2012's most popular trends
, as described below.
1. Lips: Matte and Bold
Extremely bright lips in fire engine red, acid green, and even blue were a big hit with Mary designers Katrantzou and Jason Wu. Donna Karan chose a wine-lover's palette; her models sported two tones of burgundy on their lips. This year, lips should make a statement - go for juicy colors or classic bright tones. To nourish and show off your lips, choose Jemma Kidd Makeup School's Ultimate Lipstick Duo in Scarlett. One end of this stick is balm, while the other is rich lipstick. To achieve two-toned merlot lips, select a chocolate shade for the inner lips. Creamy Lips in L104 and L102 from ELLIS FAAS would be an ideal product for creating this look.
2. Eyes go Retro with 1950s-Style Eyeliner
Cat eyes triumphed in last year's fashion shows, and they're not going anywhere soon. Louis Vuitton, Armani, and Dolce & Gabbana models all wore 1950s-style cat eyes at the spring fashion shows. Drawing a smooth cat eye is challenging, but it's easier with a little practice - and an excellent product, such as Ellis Fass eyeliner. This exceptional liner goes on as a liquid but transforms into a matte powder for staying power.
At this year's spring shows, some models, including Derek Lam's, wore extremely bright shades of eyeliner. This is a modern update of the classic 1950s look. Crushed Jewel Gel liner from Jemma Kidd Makeup School contains eye-catching glitter, and is available in onyx, diamond, and azure tones.
3. The Zen Look: Going Minimalist
In stark contrast to the designers mentioned above, the Givenchy and Stella McCartney shows chose a minimalist approach, with lip conditioner rather than lipstick, totally natural eyes, and just a touch of powder, concealer and blush. To pull off this look, one must have radiant skin. Get yours ready with Rejuvenating Primer from BECCA Cosmetics. Moisture-rich coconut oil, vitamins A and E, and age-defying flower extract combine in this BECCA Cosmetics wonder to create a glowing countenance.
4. Achieve a Sun-Kissed Look with Color Contouring
Alexander McQueen's models looked like they just stepped off the beach, thanks to color contouring. Likewise, Michael Koors' makeup artists used caramel tones to highlight models' foreheads, noses, and cheekbones. Color contouring can make any woman seem bronzed by the sun - and this approach also accents your face's best features. The hardest part is choosing a shade of bronzer that's just slightly darker than your skin tone. We suggest starting out with an illuminating moisturizer, like Shimmering Skin Perfector from BECCA Cosmetics. Then, apply Bronze Perfection Natural Skin from Jemma Kidd Makeup School to your nose, cheekbones, and forehead. This Jemma Kidd Makeup School product is subtle enough to use over foundation.
5. Metallic Tones
Fendi's models had gold and silver leaf across their entire eyelids, while Rodarte's models wore sported gold eyelashes and lipstick. Follow suit by adding a touch of shine with Eye Lights from ELLIS FAAS. This product begins as a liquid, and while it still looks moist to observers, it actually shifts to a smooth, dry finish. This adds a glamorous look. ELLIS FAAS has created this eye tint in lilac, green-gold, holographic Bordeaux, and warm silver, so there's sure to be a color that matches your personality.
