Feline Fever

[London Fashion Exaggerated eyeliner was a big trend at London Fashion Week – the entire front row at House of Holland shunned the smokey eyeliner for a more defined Feline-like mark flicked up at the edges.(For a visual think [Jaqueline Fernandez] in her Amy Whinehouse tribute in the latest edition of Harper’s Bazaar.)

The 'naked' eye look that was seen at New York Fashion Week was also a big hit at many of the week's shows, but for those of you who can't possibly part with your precious eyeliner should take a peek at the huge eyeliner flicks at Jonathan Saunders (below). 
A bit of contouring of the cheekbones, add a matte nude lip colour and you’re good to go!

A/W 2011 - Perfect Pout

[Dark Lips] These seasons runways have been awash with intense lip looks this season (think Gucci, Stephane Rolland).  The trend has also been sported by [Katrina Kaif] on the Elle cover, and [Sonam Kapoor] on Harper's Bazaar cover - we think both ladies looked stunning.
Deep Purple, burgundy, and blackened shades of lip colour are a must for this season.
Our tip to recreate the look is to use a sparkling black lip gloss layered over a red/purple lipstick for a sheer shaded effect.  Our favourite product for acheiving the look is the [Givenchy Gelee D'Inderdit] Lip Gloss in No.2 Celestial Black.  The gloss offers a sheer, soft veil of colour - perfect to intensify any of your existing lip colours.
