face of the day: chanel spring 2010 ready-to-wear


What's not to love about the romantic and perfectly undone beauty look from Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel show? With their updos all tousled and a bit askew, and their hair strewn with foliage-themed combs and barettes (not to mention the flora and fauna-esque jewelry draped around their necks), the girls looked a little like dreamy wood nymphs from a JRR Tolkien novel. A perfect reference for a spring runway show, don't you think? Love the face-framing tendrils of hair falling ever so randomly.
The makeup, meanwhile, was soft and pretty, featuring super-subtle peachy-pink lips, barely-there blush and neutral eyes with glimmers of copper. It had kind of a monochrome effect - a study in neutrals, befitting a nature girl. And of course, a canvas of perfect porcelain skin a la Miss Cate Blanchett. The look was such a hit that some of the models were actually, dare I say it, smiling during the show. Well done, Karl.
