Soft, pretty pastel colors might be a tad cliche for spring … but who cares! Versace held their Spring 2010 collection some time back and I couldn’t help but notice the models wearing some beeeautiful lilac eyes.
What’s even better: as you can see, this color suits all hair colors and all eye colors. The trick for trying on purple is to try a lighter color, such as lilac or lavender – deep, darker purples, if not done properly tends to look like a bruised eye.

I was randomly at Style.com the other night and saw the latest runway looks and was blown away by Gucci! I am in love with the crazy, bold eyes and the soft, beautiful hair.
Makeup artist extraordinaire (and creative director for P&G) Pat McGrath was behind this makeup look, working with eye shadow palettes she creates every season for Cover Girl.
She personally formulates the palettes to mimic her work on the runway, so we don’t have to spend top dollars on their looks!
This year at Gucci she re-interpreted the classic black Smokey eye using turquoise and blue shadow, but keeping the strong black Smokey eye with it. The palettes she used are shown here, Cover Girl’s Eye Enhancers 4 Shadow Kit, in Tropical Fusion and Drama Eyes. (Need help? Read How To Apply Eye Shadow, part of my Make Up 101 series.)
I think this has inspired me to start using more color instead of black all the time!
What are your thoughts on this ‘bold’ look? Do you wear bright colors like this?
