Chic and understated makeup is ultra modern. To look fresh, young and natural, create a flawless complexion with foundation and concealer, and then sweep neutral tones around the eye. Finish the look with a flick of black mascara, a lick of natural lip color and a flattering flush of blush.

INTRODUCING … Natural Beauty!

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE LOOK.

The “au naturel” look dominated the runway in the Spring/Summer 2010 fashion shows. In the Erdem, Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler, Calvin Klein, Philip Lim and Donna Karan shows there was a strong “nude” theme. The models sported fresh skin, neutral eyelids, bare cheeks and lightly balmed lips. Jean-Paul Gaultier, Versace and Chanel continued the natural trend but opted for a more polished overall feel. The models stepped out looking sexy and sophisticated, with emphasized lashes, defined eyes, groomed brows, contoured cheeks and accentuated lips. This season’s key colors are brown, bronze, beige, taupe, nude-pink, soft peach and lilac.
