When it comes to makeup, I tend to go for the subtle, natural look. In fact, I tend to forgo wearing makeup at all on a daily basis. On the runway, designers are not using the smokey eye look so much. Pink lipstick and rosy cheeks are becoming very popular. This is a great trend, because it's simple, feminine and anyone can wear it! Here are some examples.
From Michael Kors Fall 2012, you can see the red lips and pink cheeks feel. Notice how the eyes have very little makeup on them, as not to distract from the lower half of the face.
From Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012, as you can see they went with an even softer look. The pink is so light that you can barley see it. A hint of blush and a tiny bit of blue and grey eyeshadow highlights these outfits well.
From Alexander McQueen Fall 2012, these were some of the only models who's faces weren't covered. Although the outfits and hairstyles make their faces seem dark, if you pay attention to their makeup, it is light pink. The pink lips and silver eye shadow don't take away from the magnificent outfits.
From Stella McCartney Fall 2012, each of these models has on pink lipstick and eyeshadow. It looks gorgeous and works really well with the royal blues of the outfits. Also, having the hair pulled back is a great way to show of this look.
Lastly, from Giorgio Armani Fall 2012. All of the women in the show wore hats that covered most of their faces, we can see the face in this picture. Pink lipstick, blush and black liner make sizzle right along with these dresses. To soften the look, pull your hair down and use mascara only.
How to Wear:
This look works with all skin tones, but you may need to do a little hunting for the right shades. Wear with black eyeliner for a night out or only mascara during the day. The bolder the pink, the less casual it gets.
