Spring 2012 Make Up

Spring makeup fully embraced the femininity trends that were ever present in the catwalk shows. The makeup had a 50s vintage feel but with a modern touch. I'm going to take a look at my favorite trends that we'll all be sporting next spring.

The Red Lip

This is one trend that never goes out of fashion. There's a red lip out there to suit every skintone. Pair with black eyeliner for a glam evening look or with just a couple of coats of mascara for daytime chic.


The Smoky Eye

While this isn't a daytime look it is perfect for a night out on the town. It fully embraces the rock chick aesthetic. Use plenty of dark grey eyeshadow, black eyeliner and mascara



The Metallic Eye

An easy look to master. Silvery shades are the order of the day. Just sweep across the upper lid just past the eyelid crease.



The Statement Lash

Statement lashes were all over the catwalk at the S/S shows. Whether you prefer super long lashes, curly ones or extreme ones - embrace the statement lash trend. Shu Uemura's feather boa lashes are perfect for this look.



The Glittery Eye

Gold or Silver glitter and lots of it is key to this over the top look. Precision isn't necessary. Apply lots over the upper eyelid and a dusting below if your brave. Finish off with lashings of mascara.
