Next up are the hairstyles for this year and bows and plaits are perfect for 2010.  Take a few style notes from the singer Pixie Lott, Amanda Seyfried and Leann Rimes and create cute bunches or alternatively a low slung braid.  Decorate the locks with cutesy bow grips and snag free black pony bands, which are priced at £1.65 and can be obtained from a variety of beauty stores nation wide.  Finish the look with a little statement lippy and you are good to go!

The statement dress

The statement dress

Ever feel like you have just spent a fortune on a dress you have had your eyes on for ages and now have no pennies for anything else? Well why not wear the same dress in a few different ways and wear the same outfit both day and night?

A gorgeous dress layered over a long sleeved top and teamed with a winter jacket and flats is a great look for the office; the same dress is also a good option on the evening! Simply team the statement number with uber high heels and lose the underlay! Swap your workbag and coat for a blazer and an evening bag. Matching your bag to your shoes will create a great impact, especially if you have chosen a block coloured dress.

Why not team your new party look with a little glam make-up such as a statement smoky shimmer on the eyelids. Up the mark with a two tone winged smoky eye look in both a deep grey and black shade. The Ombre Absolue Palette in Le Gris L’Wren from Lancôme is a great option and will help you to create such a look in a few simple steps. The palette is priced at £32 and is available from an assortment of beauty counters and department stores nationwide that stock the Lancôme brand.

Start by working the silvery grey shade over the inside corner of your eyes then add the darker tone to the outside edges, extending them out towards the temples.

This look goes great with a glossy black cherry lip-gloss!

Take notes from Giambattista Valli and create the perfect dewy complexion.

Take notes from Giambattista Valli and create the perfect dewy complexion.

Make-up artists backstage at Giambattista Valli were taking contouring tricks to new heights.  The classic make-up artist beauty contouring deception creates the illusion of extremely impressive cheekbones. 

The good news is you don’t need an A grade in make-up art in order to cheat your way to really defined cheekbones. The secret is to use a foundation  powder that is slightly darker than the skin tone, this will act as an alternative to the usual peachy or pink toned blusher you may normally use. 

The powder foundation should be applied just below the cheekbones in the concaved area, in order to create a dewy and fresh complexion that appears both flawless and even, the foundation needs to be blended in well.  The rule in achieving a perfect complexion is too keep it natural, the face shouldn’t look like it has been doused in make-up.  To really accentuate the cheekbones, add a little highlighter powder over the foundation, this again will create a more natural look. 

Models at the Giambattista Valli show finished the picture perfect complexions off with over the top statement hair dos that appeared back combed to the max and this seasons hot nude nails.

If you are planning on trying this trend make sure you choose a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly and you’ll need a few different shades to take you throughout the various seasons.
