The catwalk shows are always an inspiration for next seasons make up trends. Admittedly the war paint of the catwalk may be a little too overpowering for a day at the office, but if you can adapt a few of the principle trends you’ll be onto a winner!
Blush me up
Many a rosy cheek was seen on the Spring/Summer 09 catwalks, with pink being the colour du jour. Jonathan Saunders took the lead with a fierce pink blusher spilling into pink eyelids and finished off with a bright red lipstick. For a more pared-down look, the new blush rule is not to apply to the apples of the cheeks, as we are forever being told, but to sweep it along the highest point of the cheekbone and swirl up into the temples and hairline. I can promise you, done correctly this is a natural face lift.
An additional shading into the hollow of the cheekbones with a blush a few shades darker than your natural skin tone (not pinks or reds!) will give you the oh-so-coveted ‘cheekbones you can cut glass on’. Guerlain has recently released a new range of ‘sculpting’ blushers that would be perfect for this.
