Lavender Love ~ Spring Summer 2010

This Spring Christian Dior showed off a gorgeous palette of pastels with a modern 1940′s twist, consisting of light luminous make-up with eyes shadowed in jade and lilac with a sultry, pinkish-red lip. Keeping it light on the face with just a soft highlight on cheekbones, Christian Dior’s ready-to-wear runway look has completely captured the essence of Spring.

1) Apply Couleur Caramel Eye Shadow in Pearly Violet #19 all over eyelids, taking it just below the brow bone. Jane Iredale Eye Shadow in Oyster is applied under the brow while using Jane Iredale Eye Shadow in Dark Suede on the outer brow bone – both shadow colors are found in Jane Iredale’s Daytime Eye Shadow Kit.

2) For a more sheer finish, tinted moisturizer is applied using Tarte Cosmetics Smooth Operator. Be sure to apply evenly. If a heavier finish is desired, apply Jane Iredale Concealer in your shade of choice.

3) Curl lashes and apply a light coat of Jane Iredale Longest Lash Mascara to upper lashes only. This allows the eyeshadow to pop, and not be overpowered by heavy mascara.

4) RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek in Illusive is applied softly to the apples of cheeks, keeping the focus on the eyes and lips.

5) Use Jane Iredale Lipstick in Carrie to create a full and vuloptuous lip.

CC Tip: I like to apply eyeshadow first in case any shadow drops onto the skin. You can whisk off any shadow that has gone astray with remover to ensure that you don’t destroy your finished skin.
