Marc Jacobs Selects OPI Nude Collection for Spring 2010

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs debuted his Spring 2010 collection during the Mercedes-Benz fashion Week in September 2009. He complimented each whimsical creation with a nude colored OPI Nail Lacquer on every runway model. Jacobs then hand selected each OPI shade to include Barefoot in Barcelona, Samoan Sand, Malaysian Mist and Dulce de Leche. With a touch of femininity, he finalized his selection with OPI's Matte Nail Envy.

The 2010 Fashion show was influenced by a mix of 'harlequin, geisha, and cabaret cutie, ultimately, the theatric collection manifested like a melange of stern-faced dolls in high-fashion fixings. An abundance of ruffles, sometimes completely covering a frock, is over-the-top femme. Beading, layering, florals and plaids, and inside-out corsetry gave way to a complex collection. The one steady, and no doubt sell-worthy, aspect: outerwear. Marc has a sharp scissor when it comes to military coats and crisp jackets; these brought the fantasy back to reality. In addition, navy pinstripe got the ruffle treatment, giving way to nuanced tailoring. The drippy gowns aren't the most dreamy, but everything else is imagination gone gaga. Lady Gaga and Madonna were famous front rowers, and Perez Hilton was present too!' Minimal make up is hot for 2010. Each hand selected OPI nude shade compliments the natural couture of a women and the delicate features of her hands.

Makeup: Francois Nars, founder of Nars cosmetics

Hair: Guido Palau for Redken

Nail: OPI

According to Instyle,"The slicked-backed buns say ballerina. The graphic eyes scream carnival. And the powdered and lined brows conjour up geisha. As per usual, it's impossible to guess exactly what's going on in Marc Jacob's brilliant head, but, since he tapped makeup artist Francois Nars last season to create the amazing 80s looks for his Fall 2009 show, we do know that the beauty envelope will be pushed. No "normal" looks here, thank you very much! Our fashion editors tell us that Jacobs riffed off of deconstructed ballerinas from Russia with a tinge of Martha Graham thrown in for good measure. And according to Nars, the look portrayed a "just came off-stage" effect: "Dancers in theater and opera always have white faces, pointed lips and an eye that is drawn outward, not upward - it's very theatrical, very ballet.

Makeup: Nars paled-out the skin with Sheer Matte Foundation in Siberia, and gave the lips a wine stain with Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Pop Life. Eyes were done up with Eye Shadow Duo in Pandora, Eyeliner in Black Moon, and Stylo in Nuits Blanches, plus two pairs on faux lashes per model.

Hair: Palau pulled hair up into a tight ponytail at the back of the head. He then twisted it tightly and looped it down, pinning it into a tight bun ballerina bun. He used Redken's Glass 01 Smoothing Serum to slick back flyaways and to keep the hair shiny and in place.
Nails: Nude-colored OPI Nail Lacquers was on all the models fingers. Barefoot in Barcelona, Samoan Sand, Malaysian Mist and Dulce de Leche were topped with OPI Matte Nail Envy for a matte finish."

2009 Summer Beauty Secrets-Get A Great Look This Season

Summer is finally here! With that said, you will most likely spend most of your time outdoors. No more cold winter nights by the fire, it's time to let loose and paint the town! Looking amazing this summer is key when enjoying yourself this summer. Here are some great tips to jump start your fresh summer look!

Stay Vibrant

Drink plenty of water to clear up your skin and aid your kidneys in excreting toxins from your body. Keep your skin moisturized for a healthy, natural glow. Try Clarins Younger Longer Balm.

You are more breakout prone in heat, so always remember to purchase your products according to skin type. Always remove make-up at the end of the day, and wash your face twice (morning and night). If you tend to have oily skin, carry oil-absorbing pads with you to blot your skin with every few hours. Try DermaQuest Acne Management

Always use sunscreen. You will still tan but you will cause a lot less damage to your skin. Use a self-tanning lotion or cream. Try St. Tropez Self Tanning Treatments.

Remain physically active. Go to the gym 3 - 4 times a week. If a gym is not accessible, go swimming, biking, rollerblading, walking, etc.




The Right Style

Finding the right hair style has never been so fun! Using the right volumizer is the most beneficial way to style any do! Define your style according to your hair type. (See Blog) Don't forget to try Rene Furterer Anti-Dehydrating Volumizing Mousse. 2009's look focuses less on highlights and more on rich, solid colors that compliment your face shape and coloring. Fringe cuts were tops on many of the runway's top models. The cut that complements all the others in high fashion circles this season is lengths of layers with casual textures. The natural look is easy to create with layers of unstyled, free moving hair. Not a lot of curl but plenty of slightly tousled waves added to the volume and texture make this a fun way to style your hair.

Trim your hair. An updated style does wonders for the psyche and gets you ready for time in the sun. For an inexpensive, natural pickup, comb some lemon juice through your hair and let the sun give you some highlights.

Define Your Beauty

Because summer means fun in the waves, use a waterproof mascara to accentuate your gorgeous eyes. Curl your eyelashes before you apply mascara, this will give your lashes an extra curl. Liquid foundation may be a bit heavy, try using a light powder. Apply bronzer to your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin; this will give you a nice summer glow. If you have pimples, dot on concealer and seal it with powder. Try Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder.

Burst into color with O.P.I's South Beach Nail Polish. Adding color to your nails gives you a burst of personality! Treat your nails every 2 weeks. Use a clear nail gloss with inbuilt UV protection topcoat and do not forget to rub sunscreen on nails too after every two hours, just like the rest of your body.

Sprinkle your feet with foot powder before wearing sandals to avoid any blisters. If you still feel shoe-on-skin rubbing, protect the sensitive area with a bandage before the blister forms. To get rid of the blister, take a clean needle and sanitize it with alcohol. Pop the blister and use cotton to clean any fluid that comes out of it. Apply an antibiotic ointment without trying to scrape off the skin and then cover the area with a bandage.

Spray Your Beauty

Find your signature fragrance this summer with a light fruity-floral. Try CK One Summer by Calvin Klein Perfume or Burberry Brit Sheer by Burberry.
