Traditionally, when the economic times take a turn downward, fashion takes a turn upward with brighter colors (and usually shorter skirts). This Springs runways reflect the sentiments of the season with shades that invoke 50's and 60's style (oh great..I get to re-live this again) while heralding happy times ahead. The key to developing your own fashion personality is to look at the color combinations  showing on the runways and take your cue from there.



Makeup colors create a beauty gallery that inspires artistry and celebration, in hues that work for every moment of life and awakens a new freedom of expression and individuality.

The Makeup Look; Rendezvous

Color Connection ~ Daring corals, yellow, eggplant and shimmering green converge with hushed notes of pink and blue. Strong and sexy.

The Look ~ Bold hits of shadow add a brilliant shock of color to a sheer lip - echoing Spring fashion’s penchant for contrast and asymmetry.

Eyes ~ Creamy, smokey, smeared: a homage to the 60’s defined eye with a stroke of new LiquiLiner and black High Definition Mascara.

Cheeks ~ Sparkling corals and roses create a high-glam glow.

Lips ~ Polished looks prettiest - especially in shimmering shades of orange and pinks.


THE LOOK ~ Makeup merges with the moment in sugar-coated Spring shades brought straight off the runways to you. Whimsical, playful, girly. A visually beautiful look of Sweet Sensations.

The Runway Influence
Spring fashion is all a-shimmer with metallic sequins, iridescent fabrics, polished cotton and frothy silk chiffon. The runways sparkle with crisp suits, full metallic jackets, lacquered linen pencil skirts, ruffled blouses and sassy-yet-classy cocktail dresses cut on a dare.
