We’ve paired some of the top spring beauty trends with perfect pieces.
1. Shout-Out-Loud Lips
Really bright lips, as seen in Chanel’s Spring 2009 collection, in hot colours like Euphoria, Fuego, Rose Rebelle and Gipsy Scarlett, pop with spring black-and-whites from Jacob. Find plenty of the duo-tones in pants, Bermudas, capris, skirts and dresses in fabrics from silk to linen.
2. Fun with Florals
Flowers bloom, and so do perfumes. Hot pick: the new Yves Saint Laurent Paris Eau de Printemps. Pair any petaled brew with floral dresses by Sandra Angelozzi at Femme De Carriere http://oakridge.shopping.ca/retrievestore?id=2450&mallid=oar, a pretty in white with red flowers number from Wear Else, and cute floral Ella Moss off-the-shoulder short sleeve Ts or cami tanks, at Ishara.
3. Up and Away
Twisted updos always take the stage in spring. At Carolina Herrara, Orlando Pita secured them with pins; they topped off lady-like skirts and dresses ending just above the knee, or down-to-the ankle. Take your own tresses to the top with a fabulous frock from After Five.
4. Fresh-Faced
The clean-faced no make-up look, by Nars make-up artist Lisa Butler, made it big on the BCBG runway. The look was a perfect match for the flowy, easy—sometimes done with slightly complex draping—dresses and jumpsuits. Visit BCBG Max Azria for more inspiration.
5. Kinky but Sweet
Textured, “I just left the beach” hair (read, wavy and loose), done by lead Redken stylist John Ruidant, made waves (pardon the pun) at designer Chris Benz’s runway show. Find your flow in loose, relaxed Sportmax Spring 2009 Collection pieces at Maxmara.
