NEON

NEON

I know it's Spring and the Bright Neon colors are in from Hot Pink to Neon Yellow and the other colors in between.  You can always wear Bright Pink or Orange on your lips to add a Splash of color.  I've mentioned it before but M.A.C. Morange, Neon Orange is a choice. Pink Nouveau is another choice for a Bright Pink option.

Red Orange

I've been wanting to try out the Red Orange lip trend for S/S 2011.  I've always shied away from bright or dark lip colors because I feel that they make my lips to Big and Bright.  I kept seeing images of Models in this Spring shade and thought how pretty they looked in it.  I purchsed a few M.A.C. lipsticks and came up with the perfect combination.  I mix these colors to achieve the looks above, Morange/Vegas Volt with Redd lip liner.  Give it a try!

Red Orange

Trend: ORANGE LIPS

This S/S 11 Trend is Red/Orange lips.  I am on the hunt for the Perfect Pout.  Make Up Forever Rouge Artist Intense in #40 and M.A.C. M'Orange are on my Must Have list!  If you plan on rocking these looks you probably don't want to do too much with your eyes.  I would keep it simple with mascara and Neutral Shadow.  Your Lips will stand out on their own.

Viva Glam

M.A.C. Viva Glam II for 2011

Viva Glam II Nude Lipstick and Lipglass would be Great with a smokey eye in M.A.C. Bronze shadow .  This look isn't for everybody.  It could come off as Corpse-like if not done right.  You can eperiment with bronzer or a nice blush like Nars Orgasm.

Eyes

Tom Ford Eyewear S/S 2011

Abby Lee models the Newest Cat-Eye Inspired Glasses and Sunglasses for Tom Ford's newest Collection.  The clothing and accessories are just as Hot as the glasses.  That crystal necklace is a must have!

Abby's lipstick and nail polish are classic colors with a blue base to them.  I always use OPI's Got the Blues for Red.  It's a perfect shade of red.  You can achieve her lipcolor by using any lipstick shades with a blue-red base.  I like M.A.C. Ruby Woo it can be quite matte though so try a swipe of clear lipglass.  Abby's eyes are smoldering with gray/charcoal shadow.  You can try Nars Cordura or Okinawa which has three shades that consist of Silver, Deep Cobalt Blue and Onyx.  You can mix those shades together to create the Dramatic Effect above.

Fendi

Fendi Spring 2011

Anja Rubik models for Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2011 line for Fendi.  I like the mixtures of Secondary and Primary colors.  The Bold Blues, Red, Orange and Greens.  

Use M.A.C. Smolder Pencil and Typographic Shadow to achieve the Robert Palmer-Esque Makeup look for the eyes.  Anja's lips are more of a orange-red so try Nars Heat Wave or Tarte's LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint in Fiery.

Ruby

Ruby Alridge for Dossier Journal

I couldn't help but find all these Looks Amazing.  I want every accessory in these photos.  The fur, boots, hat, lace ankle socks, lace bodysuit, wedges and the head piece!  Derek Kettela took some Great shots!

Ruby's lips are Gorgeous looking in the black/white photo.  The lipstick looks matte, try M.A.C. Ruby Woo or Nars Velvet Matte Pencil in Cruella.  If your more on the natural trend try Tarte LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint in Fiery.

Luxirare

Luxirare

I can't get enough of Luxirare.  I need these pieces.  The combination of the Luxirare Motorcycle Jacket with Wolford Stockings and Giambattista Valli Shoes is Genius!  Oh yeah, don't forget the Hermes belt.  

Model Iana is rocking the Luxirare Leopard Print Calf Hide Peacoat with D-Squared Thigh High Spine Boots.  

Iana's hair is Smooth and Sleek.  Try Moroccan oil or Alterna's Bamboo Kendi oil after you flat iron.  Her makeup is smoked out around the eyes lightly and her lips are in a peachy nude shade.  You can try M.A.C. in Subculture liner to achieve the lips or Nars Dolce Vita.

Fish Tails

Fish Tail Braid

This is the Perfect braid to do with long hair especially when you want a laid back style.  It's actually pretty easy to do.  The key to doing this is to section your hair into sections and braid left to right or vice versa.  I like it messy and Big but if you prefer a smooth braid try a styling cream.  

I really like the Dramatic Eyes on the model above.  You can try to re-create the straight edge of the line by placing a card and dusting black shadow against the edge.  When your done take a M.A.C. 217 brush and blend the line so it's not quite so hard if you prefer.
