Beauty Trends Spring Summer 2011

Colorful, Graphic, Playful & Bold.

Hair:

Hair conveys a message of decadence, power & sophistication this season with heavily stylized versions of 70’s disco diva hair.

Whilst London and New York saw big hair inspired by Studio 54 and the disco era, Paris and Milan saw a much smaller silhouette of the same trend, with more beauty & sophistication making the trend much more wearable.

Finger waves and a sleek bun were the focus at Prada in Milan, giving us a beautifully modernized version of a 1930’s silhouette.

Lips:

Milan Fashion Week paid special attention to the lips this season, with bright hues of orange, red and fuchsia. Gucci went for glossy lips whilst models at Marni wore their shades in a matt finish. In Paris, Pat McGrath opted for deep burgundy lip-gloss at the Louis Vuitton & Mui Mui shows, adding more color options to the “Loud Mouth” trend.

Eyes:

Brightly colored eye shadow washed across the entire eyelid in bold hues of yellow and turquoise was seen on the runways of Dior, Lowe and Kenzo. In London, glitter was the focus of this seventies beauty revival, with two tones of glitter worked all the way up to the brows with a surprising air of sophistication and decadence.
