Make-up Trends: Coral Lips

 

At a recent art exhibition, Mahima Chaudhry added a punch to her shimmery gray dress with dark coral lips!

Make-up Trend: Shimmery Slate Eye Shadow

For her latest photoshoot with ace photographer Daboo Ratnani, Sonam Kapoor dazzled us. Glittery eye shadow may give off a childish vibe, but not in a muted slate shade. When keeping the application incredibly neat and controlled it looks sophisticated and classy. Instead of sweeping sparkly formulas along your entire lid, fill only the section just below your crease.

A/W 2010-2011: Runway Beauty [Erin Wasson x RCVA]

MAKEUP: Charlotte Willer for Maybelline
HAIR: Kevin Ryan

This time around, it was "beautiful," but a little "crazy." Willer complied with a pretty, taupe smoky eye, edged out with two graphic details -- one bold, black eye brow (which Willer called a "crazy brow," and a slash of black liner beneath the lip. "We're lining the lips with eye liner, but just at the bottom," she explained.

Now, don't rule out the lip look completely. Lining beneath the lower lip "actually makes the lip lip look fuller," says Willer. OK, we're sold.

In the hair corner, stylist Kevin Ryan welded the crimping iron, but there were no 80s zigzags in sight. Instead, he left the top layer of hair alone, haphazardly crimping only the inner layers of hair. "It gives a little flicker of light as she moves" explains Ryan. "And it also gives your hair more volume. Sold again!

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Maybelline. Eye Studio Color Plush Eye Shadow in Taupe Temptress on the eyes, and Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner in Black on the brows and beneath the lips.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: To make the crimps stick and give added volume, Ryan used By Byron Spirulina Hair Spray (which will be available via this link starting on Monday.)

A/W 2010-2011: Runway Beauty [Lacoste]

The focus was on the eyes backstage at Lacoste's fall 2010 runway show. James Kaliardos, head make-up artist for Lacoste says, "The Lacoste show was a color explosion. Color blocking in cool separates to mix and match, the perfect pieces in luxurious fabrics. We wanted to do French Vogue in the late '70s/early '80s. Photographs by Sarah Moon and Jean-Paul Goude were my inspirations. Black encircled eyes rounded like a flapper from the 1920s with a nude mouth and healthy skin with a little color on the cheek. No sparkle."
