Bright Beauty

Backstage at DKNY Spring 2010 Fashion show at New York Fashion Week.

Make-up at the Nicole Miller Fall 2009 show was bold and bright, with purple hues on the eyes.

Kylie Minogue amps up her look with a splash of sparkly mint across her lids to compliment her olive green gown.

At Gucci, models wore eye-popping tones on their lids to show off the colour blocking of the clothes.

The fashion world had eyes on New York Fashion Week to see the clothing trends for 2010, but the beauty conscious were more interested in seeing what the models had on their faces. Derek Lam Spring 2010 was all about bright, confident make-up looks.

At Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 the models sported lip-smacking pink hues on their lips. Try this look next time you’re heading out for a dinner with your girlfriends. Oversized bow optional!
