Cara Delevingne for YSL

YSL Beauty's Fall/ Winter 2013 Campaign

Cara Delevingne makes this look work even though it is far from an everyday make up. Bold cat eyes with a shock of bright green at the top of the lids, paired with rich dark red lipstick.

Dolce & Gabbana’s Mediterranean Beauty Look

With the arrival of the new season comes new and brighter make up trends. For this Spring aside from the colors we associate with warmer weather and fun in the sun, we welcome a sexy make up trend that remains on the dark side of the spectrum: kohl rimmed eye. 

This look was seen in many different shows and one of which was Dolce and Gabbana.

Inspired by the Sicilian summertime, the collection boasts of gorgeous and vibrant colors and it was make up artist Pat McGrath who created a beauty look to complement this. The warm Mediterranean beauty look is a perfect mix of vibrant and sultry and is very easy to recreate on your own. 
Check out the steps right after the break.

Lancôme Rouge In Love

Rouge In Love

Love your lips, with Lancôme's Rouge in Love! For the very first time, Lancôme's lipcolour technology captures colour for up to 6 hours, without any drying or matifying effect.

Thanks to its addictive featherlight texture, Rouge in Love adapts to each woman’s mood by providing a buildable make-up finish for tailor-made looks: from natural to sophisticated.

Sexy Katy Perry

Katy Perry is not know for being understated or classic; in fact if there’s one word that perfectly defines her public image, colourful might just be it. “She’s a Rainbow”, as the Rolling Stones once sang. And yet Interview Magazine put on their latest cover a barely recognisable Katy Perry in monochrome, with styling that might have been borrowed from the dressing room of Monica Belluci or some other Italianate beauty rather than from Perry’s own kaleidoscopic beauty kit.

Chanel Knightsbrigde Collection

Chanel offers a new limited edition collection called Knightsbridge inspired by London’s cultural and historic riches and city's areas. The products are named in honor of some districts of the British capital. The collection includes three products in glamorous pink hues a compact highlighting powder and blush, three rouge lipsticks and lip gloss.

She's Got The Look!

It's the beauty of Van Gogh's starry night reflected in your eyes. The edges of pitch black night illuminated into deep blue and shimmering purple by the celestial stars... As seen on the Rodarte spring 2012 runway, this look works for cool days or warm nights. Follow the beauty how to guide to create it yourself.

Arizona Muse for Louis Vuitton Cruise

Louis Vuitton’s latest Cruise campaign can have all the lush green palms and azure blue seas in the world – when it comes down to it, the thing that makes us want to step into Arizona Muse‘s tie-up espadrilles is her hair and makeup. They’re the elements that pull the campaign over the line, the icing of romantic idealism to the sponge cake of holiday travel. The waves in Muse’s bob undulate with a mix of modern ease and 1920s / 30s glamour (the same formula, one supposes, that the clothing was based on), with dark winged-out eyeliner as the finishing touch.

Karlie Kloss for Numéro October 2011

Some models have a little something extra: they have presence. Karlie Kloss is one of them. On a runway, she slinks, glides, powers, prowls; when she poses she don’t just use her body but her eyes. A quality like that is more obvious than ever when placed against the starkness of a plain white backdrop. The model has to work twice as hard to captivate, given the surroundings go none of the way to creating any feeling.

The smoky eye is a beauty classic but we love this modern twist that MAC Senior Make-up Artist Lynsey Alexander created using bright cobalt blue. "If you have fun with your make-up and try a vibrant colour like cobalt blue, bright purple or a metallic brown you can really change your eye colour and bring out your best features," says Lynsey. We love it because it's young, fresh and fun. We dare you to give it a go! We already did!

Step 1

LINE AND DEFINE: Line the whole eye with MAC Eye Kohl pencil in Blooz and smudge all around the lashes to give a lovely dark denim stain. Keep inside the waterline. According to Lynsey "Using pencil instead of eye shadow gives an airbrushed effect and gives very soft edges, which looks more modern and lived-in."

Step 2

BOLD EYES: "To make this look modern use bold, block eye colours and stretch them almost up to the brow. On the lid I worked a mixture of MAC Fresh Water eye shadow and in the socket line MAC Plumage eye shadow. In the corners I used a touch of MAC Electric Eel – which gives a neon kick", says Lynsey.

Step 3

LASHES: Coat your top and bottom lashes with MAC Black Pro Lash Mascara and build it up. "If you keep your eye closed it gets top and bottom together and you don’t have to fiddle about – but wiggle the brush so that you coat them properly. Lighten the brows by combing them with a brow brush and using a little concealer.

Step 4

LIPS: You want to keep the lips clean and natural so that you don’t detract from the drama of the eye make-up. Linsey used MAC Lipstick in Blankety and then a clear gloss over the top.
