“EVERY season we wonder what the major fashion weeks will throw up in terms of beauty trends, and for spring/summer 2013 there is as much to work with as ever.
Eyes were the focus at shows across all cities, with Donna Karan and Altuzarra in New York, Clements Ribeiro and Christopher Kane in London, Gucci and Versace in Milan and Chanel and Dior in Paris all choosing to draw attention to coloured liner, jewelled lids and extra-long lashes.
Meanwhile, matte lips at the likes of Giles, Rochas and Burberry Prorsum pepped up pared-back beauty looks, whilst Marc Jacobs and Moschino’s Sixties focus held its own against the Nineties grunge liner of Lanvin and 3.1 Phillip Lim.” – Vogue
