The weather may be chilly outside for fall, but spring is just around the fashion corner and it's looking bright! At L'Oreal Fashion Week it was just as much about the beauty trends that made their way down the runways as it was about fashion. Two beauty trends emerged as forerunners -- smoky, bronzed eyes and high-shine vibrant-hued lips. So enjoy your matte lips and berry shades now, because come spring it will be all about shine and colour!
Earthy elegance
David Dixon's African inspired collection with bright orange and red hues, earthy browns and shimmering golds is the perfect compliment to one of spring's hottest beauty looks. Apply the same colour palette, mimicking desert sands, to your makeup and you will look like a natural goddess. "This look is very sexy and chic. Perfect for a night time look," says Eddie Maleterre, Artistic Director for L'Oreal Fashion Week. "The eyes are the focus and very seductive."
Smoky eyes get an update with rustic shades of beige, gold and brown and jeweled-toned green. Top it off with thick black liner and mascara to gives the eyes a polished look. To keep the focus on the seductive eyes, cheeks and skin get just a hint of bronzy colour and lips stay moist with neutral gloss.

Mod glam
The show Mad Men is not just catching the eye of TV critics, but also the fashion and beauty elite. Pink Tartan took a sassy turn back in time with 50s inspired collection. And what better to pair the look with than slick cherry lips, bold black liner and super shiny candy coloured nails? The end look is polished, sexy, flirty and put together. "The lips are very mod," explains Maleterre. "Bright pinks are very nice on the lips in a high-shine gloss, as are cherry reds."
