Make Up Trends for 2009
The Year 2009 is going to see some very interesting make up trends. Much of it is going to have a look that is a little more Goth or eighties.
This is certainly true of the lipstick trends for 2009. The looks that are cool are going to be the deep reds, blueberries and burgundies. Lipstick that is glossy and black is also coming back into fashion. These looks will ahead been seen on the runways of designers like Carolina Herrara, Peter Som and Donna Karan.
To pull this off without looking to vampirish make up experts suggest wearing next to no make up elsewhere on the face. A touch of white eyeliner with bright red lips looks very modern. You don’t even need to wear mascara.
Yet another trend that is going to be hot is the nude lipstick trend. This is seen on the runways of designers like Oscar del La Renta, Versace and Fendi. It is complimented best with very smoky looking eyes.
Bold pink lips will also be in fashion. These are the lighter pink shades. They look best with a heavy application of eyeliner in a chocolate brown or almost black color on the eyes.
Bright blue make up is also making a comeback. This is part of the eighties redux as well. The idea is to find make up that is electric blue as possible. This make up is worn all over the eyelid in thick blocks. This look has been seen on the runways of Tuleh, Nina Ricci and Oscar de La Renta as well.
Dark and smoky eyes are also a real trend especially if mixed with gold. Dark eye make up rarely goes out of style and hits year it was prevalent at Gucci, Lagerfeild and Chanel. The raccoon look made popular in the eighties, is also back and women will definitely be wearing more dark eye shadow than usual.
Soft pink blush is also in the works for being trendy makeup for 2009, especially on a barer face with just a touch of eyeliner. Pink blush has been seen on the makeup models at Versace, Michael Kars, Michal Jacobs and others.
As for eyebrows, the thicker and darker they are the more fashionable they will be. Comb stray hairs upwards to make them seem even more prominent. This type of style was signature to the makeup looks offered by Jeremy Laing, Prada, Philip Lim, Fend and other prominent designers. Think Marguaux Hemingway in the eighties and you get an idea of the look that is coming up in style. Just make sure the brows are even and perfectly symmetrical for them to work their best.
