Spring 2011 Trend: C-Shaped Blush

Spring 2011 Trend: C-Shaped Blush

October 15, 2010 in 2011, Fashion, Featured, Trends

One of my favorite makeup trends to emerge on the Spring 2011 runways is the “temple to cheek” blush, spotted everywhere from Madrid to Milan. In most cases, makeup artists applied color in a “C” shape from the model’s temples to the apples of their cheeks, and blended well for a seamless transition. Love it!!

At the Moschino show in Milan, models wore orange blush that not only was applied in the C shape, but was also blended onto the eyelids for a monochrome look.

I love the rosy pink blush at Christian Siriano’s show in New York. This is probably my favorite variation of the trend.

Richard Nicoll’s show during Londons Fashion Week featured models wearing an ochre colored blush applied just above the temples, and around onto the cheeks.

Edition by Georges Chakra showed a much more subdued and wearable version of the trend.

Ke$ha on Finding Glitter Everywhere

Ke$ha on Finding Glitter Everywhere

October 10, 2010 in Celebrity Beauty, Celebrity Makeup

Pop star, Ke$ha, recently shared with MTV about her glitter coated life. This literally sounds like my worst nightmare, and I’m getting anxiety just thinking about it.

“Right before I go onstage, I lather my body in baby oil and cover my entire body with a shield of glitter. Because it just pops! It just looks great! It’s really hard to get the glitter off. I’ve just given up. I’ve accepted that it will just be there. It’s in all my suitcases, it’s usually in my food, in my drinks. Sometimes when I pee, it’s in the toilet. I don’t know how it got there.”
