Bright Eyeliner Hot Off The Runway

Bright eyeliner is in for this summer and I could not be more excited! Either if it is a bright orange, white, yellow, or turquoise it is fun and easy to do. Turquoise eyeliner is trending in all the runways and not to mention great for tan or pale skin. Create a cat eye look with the turquoise color and it will definitely make a bold statement. Remember to not apply to many different colors onto the face or else the colors will conflict with one another. I would suggest a simple nude matte eye shadow, light pale pink blush, mascara, and a nude lip. Want to make it more dramatic? Add false eyelashes it will definitely make a statement and this look is perfect for day or night! What do you think about this look?

Valentino is VA Vroom

Valentino Fall 2011 collection is amazing. His brand continues to have the pulse of understanding the silhouette of the women’s body. This season he has designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli inspiring and leading the brand. They emphasize a light and demure look that is very feminine juxtaposing lace and sheer detailing.

The look is smart and mature. This collection also features the gauzy dresses which is the signature of these designers. But for the Valentino Fall collection, they expanded the pieces to have an airy look that mixes structured separates for day, floral printed gowns with different trend python accessories. Regardless of the style, an ethereal feel ran through the entire collection. The thick fur worn by Patricia Van Der Vliet and the laser cut leather skirt on Daphne Groeneveld was breathtaking.

Chiuri and Piccioli have the ability to take materials that dense and imbue juxtaposing them to lightness. Technique illustrates the strength of their powerful design signature. It also shows these designers enormous talent.
