A/W 2012 Trend: Fresh and Healthy

You have your graphic liners, cobalt blue lashes and your oxblood red lips, but it is the healthy look  that is the freshest, yet possibly the most difficult to obtain.  As seen as Michael Kors, the wind burnt cheek literally looks like you have been outside playing in the snow.  Hats off to Shiseido's Dick Page for this gorgeous natural look.

To obtain this type of look, you need to start with a great base and really concentrate on the skin itself. Make sure it is well moisturized and perfected with primer and foundation. It needs to be flawless. At Michael Kors, Dick Page accounts the new Rouge Lacquer (gorgeous) in Drama for those rosy red cheeks. The Rouge Lacquer was placed on the apples of the cheeks, in a chevron pattern, and then blended with a damp sponge. Only top lashes are coated with mascara and then the stained (non glossy) red lip.

Here are some other recommended products:
  • Benefit Benetint
  • Shiseido Rouge Lacquer in Drama
  • Stila Convertible Colour lip and cheek in Gerbera, Rose, Poppy
  • MAC blush in Scarlett
  • Lancome Blush Subtil in Cedar Rose
  • Make Up Forever Aqua Cream in #8

This winter, have fun and get outside, then you can have rosy cheeks for free!
Cheers
