Summer 2012 Makeup & Fashion Trends

Posted on by

Every season has their trends and this summer is no different. Get new season ready with our need-to-know guide for what’s in this summer. Be assured, whether your swoon for fashion, love to change your hair, keep up with the lasted makeup trends or pamper your nails, there is something for everyone here.

Silver Metallic Eyes

Metal toned eyeshadow has been one of the hottest trends so far in 2012 and for now it looks like it’s here to stay. Reflective washes of white silver light up the brow bone and add sparkle and dimension to the eyelid. It’s perfect for an evening or party look. You can even use it for a soft wash of color on your lids to help open your eyes. For a great tutorial on a look like this check out “Party Makeup: Metallic Smokey Eye”.

Cat Eyes

Pull out your eyeliner ladies because cat eyes are in full force. The familiar flick of liner has returned to the outer corner of the eyes but now with a twist. The double edged cat eye is widely popular. You can achieve this by adding an extra wing at the end of your liner, one for the top and one for the bottom for double the drama.  Use color instead of sticking with the main stream black to add color and dimension to your eyes.

Sun Kissed Skin

In summer we start to crave the sun and the glow that comes along with it. Thanks to beauty manufactures, there are numerous ways to achieve that sun-kissed skin.  Inspired by athletes who spend most of their time outdoors; “sporty-cheeks” are this year’s way to glow. You can mimic the effects of being in the sun by contouring parts of the face with a soft peach bronzer. Just remember, if you are going for the sun-kissed look to keep the eyes and lips natural.

Rose Colored Lips

Lipstick is back! Women are in lipstick heaven and choosing bright, flashy, eye-catching shades. For our porcelain or fair skinned girls, or for those who want a great lip but don’t feel comfortable in reds, then this is the way to go.  Stick to the rose and pink shades but don’t be afraid to try a shade or two brighter than your normal one.   The picture above is Marlena’s Glamorous Neutral Look featuring Makeup Geek’s “Delightful” lipstick teamed up with NYX’s “Smokey Look” Mega Shine Gloss.

Red Lips

Lipsticks most iconic shade is back! Don’t let this intimidate you though, with so many different shades on the market there is a perfect red lip for everyone regardless of your skin tone. If you have fair skin choose a coral-red shade, any other skin tone can go with a true red or blue based red tone to pamper their lips. For help we have several videos all about red lips, we recommend; “Top 5: Red Lipstick (how to choose your red lipstick)”, “Red Lips for Every Skin Color”,  “How to Rock Red Lips”.

Mint Accents

This seems to be one of the hottest shades for summer this year. Whether you choose to wear it on your eyes, clothes or nails you are sure to be trendy with this color. This color also looks amazing with gold as an accent. On the runway mint was seen most as a “pop-of-color” or in color blocking. One of the biggest trends with mint is to have it on your nails.

Ombre Nails

Ombre hair has been everywhere this year and it looks like the nails are following close behind.  And since you can mix and match colors the possibilities are endless. There are two variations of this, paint each nail a different shade of the same color to give your hand an Ombre look, and the gradient nail. With so many tutorials on YouTube you can recreate this look in no time.  (Photo courtesy AcidTrix)

Tribal Nails

Tribal patterns are the hottest trend to hit the nail industry. Tribal design is a fashion print that has crossed the line onto nails. Whether you want a professional to do them, or create your own designs, the key to rocking this latest trend is to pick a design that compliments your natural style. For those who like things a bit wilder, opt for bigger and brighter prints. If you are more subdued choose prints that are smaller and lighter in color. A great way to get these is to try a nail wrap. These can be found in an assortment of brands and patterns and are easy to apply. (photo courtesy Emily’s Nail Files )

Braids, Twists & Ponytails

All of these are an easy way to spice up your hairstyle. It’s fast and easy and perfect on a hot day or one of those infamous bad hair days. The ponytail is back and easy to do. Wear it low, or slick and damp to achieve this season’s look. Braids and twists get graceful makeovers this season. One of the most popular braids is the waterfall braid with its elegant and simple look. The key to any of these looks is to look like you have put your hair up without giving it much thought.  If you’d like to see some of our recent braid tutorials, check out the Fishtail / Mermaid Braid, the Katniss Everdeen Braid, or the Curved Dutch Braid to Messy Bun tutorials.

Undone Waves

Beachy undone waves are always a summer favorite. (See Marlena’s Beachy Waves Hair Tutorial) This year’s trend is looser waves that makes the hair look like it was effortlessly done. The beach-ready style only requires a quick blow dry, subtle curl with the curling iron and raking your hands through your hair to create the right amount of “messiness”. Wear it parted on the side, or down the middle to give the barely-there curls your own style.

Colored Hair

It takes serious guts, or being a major celebrity, to pull off shockingly bright hair color. Stars like Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry are just a couple to change their locks to suit their mood. But you can add a touch of color to your hair without transforming all your hair. Try colors that compliment your skin tone. Fair skinned babes want to go with pastel shades like pale pink, lavender and baby blues. These colors also look great against blonde hair. If you have medium to darker skin tones, stick with jewel tones like emerald or deep purple. These also look great with darker haired girls. Try adding a streak or two in your hair, or buy an extension clip to try before committing to the shade.

Bangs

The bang is back, also known as fringe. Whether a deep side swept bang or a set of bangs all across your forehead, bangs are everywhere. Bangs are at their best when they are cut thick, blunt and long. They look remarkable with a bob, short crop or even long hair. If you are feeling a little adventurous you may even want to try the micro-bang. Where normal bangs should sweep the top of the eyebrows, a micro-bang is cut very short coming to the middle of the forehead or even a little above. Either way, the bang or fringe is a great way to give your hair a fresh updated look.

Fashion

Bold Prints

So maybe pushing the boundaries of fashion isn’t for everyone, but if you love bright colors, bold graphics or flower prints then this is the season for you! Regardless if it’s stripes, tribal, abstract or floral, every print is in. If you decide to rock a bold print dress, keep the shoes neutral. A great print shirt looks great with a sleek pencil skirt or jeans. Just keep the accessories to a minimum; the focus should be on the print. Mixing patterns is a great way to show off your individuality and creativity, just remember to let your print be the star of the show.

Bold and Blingy Appliqués

From face lace that goes around the eye and across the forehead, blinged out phone cases, studded nails and shoes, bling is everywhere. Add a pop of bling in your wardrobe by wearing a pair of studded heels like the ones we see Kim Kardashian wearing. Add lace or rhinestones to your nails with nail wraps or by a professional. With so many different ways to add bling to your wardrobe the possibilities are endless.

Peplum Skirts & Dresses

Also known as “crumb-catchers”, these are popping up everywhere, especially Hollywood. In case you didn’t know, peplum refers to a ruffle around the waist which adds volume while creating an hourglass figure. From shirts, skirts and dresses this is one trend you can’t go wrong with. They are fabulous and flattering and romantic all at the same time.

And there you have it, your trends for the summer of 2012. From hair, makeup, nails and fashion it’s all here. This season it’s all about color, from shades of mint, to bold patterns it’s all here. Just remember, the key to pulling off any good look is confidence. Let your inner beauty shine and the rest of you will be just as beautiful!

70s Fashion Icons

Posted on by

Farrah Fawcett

1947-2009
From the naïf, buttoned-down shirts to the high-waisted denim flares, not only did Fawcett set the small screen alight but her look came to define a generation. The ‘Farrah Flick’ became the first must have celebrity hair style and the image of the actress in a swimsuit, head tilted back and grinning broadly, has sold over 12 million copies worldwide. She is consistently name-checked by designers when a 70s revival rolls round.

Bianca Jagger

1945-present
This Nicaraguan-born activist rewrote the fashion rule book when she wore a white suit by Savile Row tailor Tommy Nutter to marry her Rolling Stone in St Tropez in 1971. Jagger not only wore 70s fashion, she lived it; a Studio 54 stalwart, she was friends with the likes of YSL and Halston, playing model and muse alike. From turbans to tube tops, nothing was off limits for this original fashion risk-taker.

Iman

1955-present
When someone with the fashion clout of the late, great Yves Saint Laurent singles out someone as his “dream woman”, it’s time to pay attention – and Iman was the recipient of that prestigious accolade. First shot for Vogue in 1976, this Somali glamazon had her pick from the 70s catwalks as all the top designers of the day – think Halston, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Issey Miyake and Donna Karan – courted her beauty.


Debbie Harry

1945-present
When Blondie’s Heart Of Glass burst onto the airwaves in 1979, a whole army of teenage girls started emulating lead singer Harry’s insouciant, laid-back disco style: mussed hair, red lips, funked-up maxis, leopard print. A great piece of trivia: in the now-iconic music video for the single, Harry wears an asymmetrical silver dress designed by Stephen Sprouse, which was photo-printed with television scan lines then sandwiched between two layers of chiffon to create an optical illusion. Groovy.

Diane Von Furstenberg

1946-present
Diane Von Furstenberg lived a fashion fairytale – literally. Having married her first husband Prince Egon of Furstenberg in 1969, she launched her own-name fashion label in 1970. “The minute I knew I was about to be Egon’s wife, I decided to have a career,” she has said. “I wanted to be someone of my own, and not just a plain little girl who got married beyond her desserts.” She achieved her dream in spectacular style, launching her signature wrap dress in 1973 – fast forward almost 40 years, and there is still no wardrobe that’s considered complete without one.

Liza Minnelli

1946-present
The glitz! The glamour! The spotlight fell on Minnelli in 1972 with the launch of Caberet, in which she played the vulnerable yet ballsy Sally Bowles. The theatrical make-up and dramatic bob she rocked in the film became her style signatures; the flipside of the sweet, natural beauty favoured on the catwalks of the decade and an ingenious vehicle for establishing herself as a star in her own right, away from the shadow of her own superstar mum, Judy Garland.

Faye Dunaway

1941-present
The girl-next-door look that helped Faye Dunaway play a convincing good-girl-gone-bad in 1967’s Bonnie and Clyde saw her storm into the 70s very much in demand, swapping her iconic 60s beret for the wide-brimmed felt hats du mode in the process. Chinatown, in which she starred alongside Jack Nicholson in 1973, is a feast of to-die-for looks.

Joni Mitchell

1943-present
The original free-spirit, nobody epitomised the hippy lifestyle – or, indeed, style – like Canadian musician Joni Mitchell. Her penchant for floaty maxi dresses, tie-dye and leaving her hair uncut secures her place in our list of icons of the 70s, the decade in which she achieved mainstream success. Style.com quite deliciously named her ‘the era’s reigning bohemian beauty queen’ and we’re inclined to agree with them.

Olivia Newton-John

1948-present
When Grease was released in 1978, Olivia Newton John’s career went stellar. While the film – in which the 29-year-old actress played a school girl – famously showcased 50s prom skirts and pedal pushers, off-screen its Australian leading lady rocked a neat line in on-trend maxi dresses and floral prints. The cover of her 1971 debut album If Not For You, which features Newton John looking sultry in a cornfield wearing nothing but a blush coloured vest – braless, of course – sums up the mood of the decade perfectly.

Cheryl Tiegs

1947-present
One of the most successful models of the 70s, Cheryl Tiegs had appeared on the cover of US Glamour magazine by the time she was 17 years old. Her look was a key part of the 70s style sea-change: out went the petite proportions, pouts and pixie crops of the 60s and in bounced a new wave of tanned, healthy, smiley, wholesome American babes. The provocative 1978 poster of her in a pink bikini became a pop culture ‘moment’.

Anjelica Huston

1951-present
Who better to explain Anjelica Huston’s impact on fashion than David Bailey? “All the good girls, they have to have a big personality – it’s no good just being beautiful. Anjelica wasn’t beautiful in the normal sense; she had her own beauty, and I always liked girls who had their own beauty, like her and Penelope Tree. You need something else to go with the beauty.” Described by turns as ‘unusual’, provocative’ and ‘dramatic’, Huston – who started life as a model before turning to acting – brought an element of mystique to the Studio 54 set during her Vogue days.

Jane Fonda

1937-present
Jane Fonda started the 70s as one of the biggest names in Hollywood, thanks to her starring role in cult 60s hit Barbarella. Like all greats, however, she adapted easily with the times; a love of high necklines and pussybow blouses saw her through the 70s with her style cred intact.

Stevie Nicks

1948-present
Fringed shawls, flares, denim, suede boots… Stevie Nicks’ freewheeling style conjures up images of hot dessert sun and youthful heartbreak. Despite the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman’s penchant for flamboyant silhouettes and psychedelic prints, her look was essentially conservative: part gypsy, part Dickensian dandy. “I’m an extremely modest woman,” she said in a 2008 interview. “I guess you can probably see it through my clothes all down through the years with my long chiffon skirts and my big wispy sleeves. I always looked at it like, people wondering what was under all that was much sexier than having all that out there.”

Margaux Hemingway

1954-1996
The six-foot model grand-daughter of writer Ernest Hemingway landed a lucrative fashion first in the 70s: her contract to become the spokesperson for Fabergé’s Babe perfume was the first million dollar deal ever awarded to a fashion model. She had a meteoric rise to fame over the course of the decade – little wonder for a tall, athletic, natural beauty with strong features (oh, those eyebrows!) and natural affinity with glamour.

Nico

1938-1988
Having been discovered at the tender age of 14 in Berlin, Nico earned her fashion stripes as a model – for the likes of Chanel and Lanvin, no less – in the 50s and 60s. But it was her association with Andy Warhol, his infamous Factory and The Velvet Underground for which she is remembered. Slight and feline with prominent facial features and eyes permanently ringed with kohl, her penchant for black (and, of course, her hauntingly sad singing voice), led to her becoming a cult figure, and a style beacon for the underground culture of the time.

Pam Grier

1949-present
“Me, sexy? I’m just plain ol’ beans and rice,” Pam Grier once famously exclaimed – but we’re not the only ones who beg to differ. Grier made her name in the films of the 70s ‘blaxploitation’ movement, rocking a killer line in flares and halter tops. Her take on the decade’s fashion? “It’s always fun to put on bell bottoms and have your butt hanging out.”

Barbara Bach

1947-present
It doesn’t get much more glamorous than being a Bond Girl – especially a 70s Bond Girl. Mrs Ringo Starr cemented her sex bomb status in 1977 when she played Anya Amasova (aka KGB Agent XXX) in The Spy Who Loved Me – a woman as at home in an evening dress as she was rolling around in the Sahara shooting bad guys. She’s regularly named in ‘Best Bond Girls’ lists and saw out the 70s off-screen in sexy denim and crochet pieces imbued with plenty of va-va-voom.

Lauren Hutton

1944-present
Pre-Vanessa Paradis it was Lauren Hutton who first put the gap-toothed smile on the fashion map. In contrast to the ethereal model ideal, Hutton’s ‘imperfect’ smile lent her a down-to-earth look that appealed to editors who wanted something different for their pages. Championed by Diana Vreeland, Hutton has the distinction of pioneering the modern-day endorsement deal, having signed an exclusive contract to be the face of Revlon cosmetics in 1974. Contemporary icon Alexa Chung cites Hutton as a key influence on her own style.

Janice Dickinson

1955(ish)-present
Before she clambered on the boobs ‘n Botox wagon in a big way, our Janice really was a style icon. With her dark, exotic looks, in demand as fashion went truly international in the 70s, she started a run of Vogue covers that topped at an astounding 37. She has proclaimed, “I was Versace’s muse, I was Valentino’s muse, I was Alaia’s muse, Lancetti’s muse, Calvin Klein’s, Halston’s. I could go on and on.” You’d be forgiven for thinking this was hyperbole – but it (probably) isn’t.

Ali MacGraw

1939-present
It would probably be quicker to list the fashion credentials Ali MacGraw doesn’t have. The New York-born actress started out working behind the scenes on major glossies such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue before breaking onto the big screen in major 1970 weepie Love Story. Her style, bohemian-meets-preppy, not only became a defining marker of the era but she also achieved a rare double-whammy by marrying ultimate male style icon Steve McQueen (though they divorced in 1978).

Jerry Hall

1946-present
From humble beginnings, this leggy Texan bombshell burst onto the 70s fashion scene aged 16 and immediately threw herself into the Studio 54 scene – all the while commanding a cool $1000 a day. But she never forgot where she came from. “My greatest inspiration was my mother,” Hall admitted in a 2008 interview. “She made a lot of her own clothes and created special outfits for me to take to Paris, copies from the only magazine we got at home.” Her own daughters, Lizzie and Georgia May, recently took the fashion baton with lucrative modelling deals of their own.

Marie Helvin

1952-present
Part-Japanese, part-American and in raised in Hawaii, Marie Helvin’s exotic looks were much in demand in the 70s and she was lauded for her beautiful eyes. She worked with the top designers of the day – Yves Saint Laurent, Versace and Valentino notable among them – and, having met photographer David Bailey on a shoot for Vogue, married him. She was ranked #24 in Channel 5′s World’s Greatest Supermodel.

Jill St John

1940-present
Another Bond movie, another Bond girl for the men to lust after and the girls to want to be. St John played Tiffany Case to Sean Connery’s Bond in 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever, earning herself a place in the 70s style icon cannon for her smouldering, sexpot sass.

Jaclyn Smith

1947-present
The second of Charlie’s beloved Angels in our round-up, Jaclyn Smith played Kelly Garrett for the full five series of the show; she was the only of its three original female leads to do so. The sensitive brunette to Farah Fawcett’s sunny blonde, her fashion choices were the more understated of the two – and it earned her a cool $40,000 a week.

Patti Smith

1946-present
“I know fashion is a material thing, but we live in a material world and I love clothes.” So says Patti Smith, aka the Godmother of Punk, who not only set the sound standard but the sartorial one, too – think ripped jeans, slogan Ts, wild hair. “My style says ‘Look at me, don’t look at me,’” she’s said. “It’s, ‘I don’t care what you think.’”

Charlotte Rampling

1946-present
Charlotte Rampling’s alluring mix of vulnerability and raw sexuality – as well as an eye for a stand-out Celia Birtwell print – made her a great influencer of style in the 70s, both on-screen and off. But to Rampling, being attractive means more than clothes: “I’m not in any way a master of sex at all, but there’s something in me – I know because I can see it when I come on screen – there’s some animal thing that emanates. When you go to parties and you see how people turn on their sexuality, that’s all I do for a role. You turn on the predator, and you go with it.” Grr.

Kate Jackson

1948-present
Alabama-born actress Kate Jackson completes the trio of original Charlie’s Angels. She played the unofficial leader of the group, Sabrina Duncan, earning her place in fashion history alongside Farah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith as one of the most popular – and emulated – TV actresses of the 70s. Though she didn’t always feel it… “Sometimes I think the work I do on the show is so obvious that it’s invisible. Sometimes the better an actor is, the less he’s noticed,” she said.

Karen Carpenter

1950-1983
Long-line skirts, high waists and cheery prints personified Karen Carpenter – one smily, clean-cut half of 70s sibling pop duo The Carpenters. Her public persona may have concealed dark personal problems but her free-spirited style remains a beautiful illustration of the era.

Jane Seymour

1951-present
British-born actress Jane Seymour began the decade as a hard-working ingénue and ended it with her star firmly in the ascendant. Cast as psychic Solitaire in 1973 James Bond classic Live And Let Die, her style was the mix of glamour and coquettishness that was de rigeur in Hollywood at the time.

Shelley Duvall

1949-present
With her huge eyes and bird-like figure, Texan actress Shelley Duvall’s kooky beauty – not to mention the fact that she made her name in horror films – afford her a cult 70s status. She may have described herself during the era as “a pretty little twit”, but her impact on fashion remains; US designer Porter Grey was inspired by the actress’ turn in The Shining for the coming season.

Joan Jett

1958-present
“Aggressive, tough and defiant may describe me, but that leaves the impression I’m mean and I’m not. People expect me to have fangs.” So says Joan Jett, ‘poster’ girl of The Runaways – if that weren’t too much of a contradiction in terms. One of the original rock chicks, Jett was too busy making loud, ballsy music to adhere to trends. Her signature look? Leather jackets, band Ts and Converse.

Anita Pallenberg

1944-present
The original rock groupie, Anita Pallenberg’s sexpot style was dubbed “evil glamour” by her on-off friend Marianne Faithfull. Having ripped up the 60s in renegade heart-shaped glasses, feather boas and suede jackets, Pallenberg adopted a more grown-up look in the 70s in satins, kaftans and flares. Although the decade ended badly for her, musician John Phillips summed her up as “so clever, so European, so built… She exuded a stylish and playful decadence that was at once intellectual, sultry, and mischievous”.

Marisa Berenson

1947-present
Marisa Berenson’s fashion pedigree is impeccable; the grand-daughter of Elsa Schiaparelli, she was dubbed ‘the girl of the 70s’ by Yves Saint Laurent. Already a major fashion model when the decade began, she played Jewish department store heiress Natalia Landauer in the 1972 film Cabaret (for which she received two Golden Globe nominations, a BAFTA nomination and an award from the National Board of Review, no less), and her screen career took off. Naturally elegant with fine features and a cascade of dark hair, she mixed with the era’s movers and shakers and set trends as well as following them.

Peggy Lipton

1946-present
As the star of cult TV hit The Mod Squad, which ran from 1968-1973, New York-born actress Peggy Lipton was very much a prominent 70s star. With her centre-parted blonde hair, bell-bottoms and lovebeads, she was the perfect embodiment of haute hippie – plus, she became one half of the decade’s power couples when she married super-producer Quincy Jones in 1974.

Catherine Deneuve

1943-present
Catherine Deneuve’s name is inextricably linked with one of the top designers of the 70s, Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent, for whom she served as muse and mannequin for many years. Although her breakthrough roles in Repulsion and Belle du Jour mean she is most regularly slotted into the icons of the 60s bracket, her fame never waned in the 70s and, when she became the face of Chanel No 5 in the latter part of the decade, she famously caused sales of the fragrance to go through the roof in the US. She is renowned for her Gallic sophistication and elegance.

Beverly Johnson

1952-present
Beverly Johnson changed the face of fashion forever in 1974 when she became the first black model to feature on the cover of American Vogue, repeating the triumph with French Elle the following year. Athletic, poised and striking, she is considered the breakthrough name who put black models firmly on the commercial fashion map.

Diane Keaton

1946-present
As the eponymous Annie Hall of Woody Allen’s 1977 cult hit – for which she ultimately won a Best Actress Oscar – Diane Keaton spawned the breakaway mannish trend that was so at odds with the ultra-light, ultra-feminine fashion of the day. Her unself-conscious, androgynous looks for the film were sourced mainly from men’s vintage stores, spawning a niche style fan base who fell for neckties, vests, baggy trousers and fedora hats.

Summer Beauty Trends

Posted on by

This season’s most sizzling hair and makeup looks

Bobbed Hair

Lighten up for summer—literally! Brooklyn Decker lopped off her locks, and so have Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Munn, and Keira Knightley (just to name a few). The latest star to make the cut? Glee‘s Dianna Agron.

Bold Lashes

Lush fringe complemented turquoise shadow at the Christian Dior spring/summer show; Ginnifer Goodwin pulls off the look perfectly.

Whimsical Waves

Blake Lively is the queen of sexy, tousled tresses—and according to runway-hair gurus, this lived-in texture is au courant.

Burgundy Lips

Don’t toss your wintery red lipstick just yet! Makeup maven Pat McGrath painted puckers dark rouge at spring/summer shows like  Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent —and celebrities such as gossip girl Michelle Trachtenberg are following suit.

Rich Hair Color

It Brit Alexa Chung was one of the first to rock ombré strands. While she’s kept her dark roots, she’s since ditched her bleached ends, proving that brunettes can have fun in the sun too!

Red-Tinted Tresses

Another former ombré-lover, Drew Barrymore , has also changed her hair hue—to red! She’s not the only one: Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson, Mandy Moore, and Blake Lively have scarlet fever.

Purple-Rimmed Eyes

The purple haze from Etro’s spring/summer catwalk has reached the red carpet: Nicole Richie demonstrates lavender eye shadow’s lovely effect.

Straight Bangs

It seems counterintuitive for summer—don’t you want hair off your forehead?—but long, blunt bangs are seriously trendy. Besides bridesmaid Rose Byrne , stars like Olivia Wilde, Jessica Szohr, and Michelle Monaghan are also flaunting fringe.

Watermelon Pucker

Whether sheer or matte, fuchsia is summer’s go-to lipstick shade. And, as Emma Stone shows, the brighter the better! For more on this trend, check out the pink pouts at Diane von Furstenberg and Jil Sander.

Center-Parted Locks

A middle part is more casual and carefree than a side one. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be glamorous! Infuse center-split locks with a dose of volume à la Lea Michele for an unexpected twist. For more pointers, view the luxurious waves at Gianfranco Ferré and Emilio Pucci.

Emerald Eyes

Rihanna ‘s played-up peepers prove that, whether bright or muted, green shadow is worth wearing. It also happens to be hot for summer: the makeup made eyes pop at Oscar de la Renta and  Jason Wu.

Orange Lips

From soft peach to vibrant mango, orange-tinted pouts are ripe for the picking. Liv Tyler pays lip service to this trend, which was spotted at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Vena Cava, and Zac Posen.

Neon Eyelids

Electric strips of color decorated lash lines at Peter Som, Loewe, and Christian Dior—and apparently, Fergie approves!

Bronze Highlights

Don’t overdo it with your self-tanner or bronzer. Rather than an all-over tan, keep your complexion creamy and use brown-based makeup to merely highlight and accentuate. Rachel Bilson ‘s monochromatic eyelids, cheekbones, and lips exemplify this trend . Other examples: Blumarine and Dolce & Gabbana.
