BEAUTY TREND: SPRING/SUMMER 2010 Lilac Time

A purple haze descended onto the catwalks for spring/summer, proving to be the most popular of the pastels. Whether it was the washed-out violet extensions in the hair of the edgy surfer girls at Proenza Schouler or the strong lavender lids contrasting the statement red lips at Dior, or even the doubling up of metallic mauve on eyes and lips by Dick Page at Michael Kors, one thing was for sure – beauty is having an ultra-violet moment. The most wearable way to wear the trend? Look to the pretty pastel girls at Versace, where make-up artist Pat McGrath buffed a gentle wash of lilac on the eyes, all the way up to the brows, with a slick of the same coloured liner along the upper lash line for added definition.The rest of the face was kept natural and bronzed – the perfect spring canvas. What’s more, lilac is also the hottest colour for nails this season.

Beauty Trend: Hair Spring/Summer 2010

Balmain has some serious competition for the most must-have effortless hair in Chloé – coiffed by Guido Palau, it was exactly the Kate Moss type of nonchalance that every girl wants to have. (Tip: prep with Redken Thickening Spray and randomly tong loose sections.) In the same way, skin and make-up was healthy, dewy, glowing and utterly irresistible, under the guidance of MAC make-up artist Diane Kendal.
