Advent Day 20 | Valentino s/s 2014 Collection

Day 20 of advent (ooooo holidays are coming ahhhh) and today, it's all about Valentino baby. This s/s collection has been one of our favourites ever since we claped our beady eyes on it. The faaaabulous collection sees Gretian/Egyptian influenced garments, which have been heavily embroidered in deep colours to create the mistque and zest of the east.

The makeup look the models sported was very natural and dewy. Although the brows were thick (ala Cara) they were still kept very light looking and natural. No one likes an overdone eyebrow, remember that. The face was also kept simple, there is the slightest touch of pink on the cheeks, paired with highlighter on the cupids bow and along the bridge of the nose and chin. There was use of mascara but only to create definition of the natural shape of the lashes and to open up the eyes.

To recreate this look, we would prescribe: MAC Face and Body foundation, which gives great blendable coverage, and L'Oreal volume millions lashes for mascara to give full on volume, but still very natural looking.

Have fun huns,
