Milan S/S 09

Opposites Attract
Can’t decide between wet look or glossy, curly or straight, texture or smooth – then don’t. At Milan Fashion Week the hair was all about working a bit of everything, after all it’s boring to have to choose. Models marched the catwalks with wet roots descending into dry curls, sleek hair pinned up and exploding into masses of textured hair and straight updos with curly tendrils. So it looks like next season, anything goes.

The Cheat’s Cheek
As Gordon Espinet from Mac said ‘next season is all about bringing back classic, high maintenance, make – up techniques’. And contouring is the oldest beauty trick in the book for faking killer cheekbones. Matte bronzer was used under the models’ cheekbones to create a hollow look, while highlighter applied above creates the illusion of a jutting cheekbone - genius!

The Milan Look
Unashamedly sexy the Milan catwalks were a smoking pot of sultry, smoky eyes and high maintenance blow drys – we know we should want to be more directional but this look is our guilty pleasure. The vibe is 1970s glamour mixed with modern Bond Girl and all you need to get the look is lashings of liner, glossy lips, contoured cheekbones, oh and a hairdresser on speed dial.
