face of the day: collette dinnigan spring 2010 ready-to-wear


What with all the heavyweight designers and their outlandish beauty looks presented in Paris this week, such as Marc Jacobs for Vuitton (those 'fros!) and John Galliano (those mime lips!) it was pretty tough to stand out from the pack. But designer Collette Dinnigan delivered us from wackiness with this simply stellar and surprisingly wearable look. While I've been loving all the statement lips we've been seeing on the spring 2010 runways, it was refreshing to see some color again on the the eyes. Here, the eyes are done up in a forest-y green shade, which might seem a little dark for a spring look (and more in line with fall/winter shades), but it simply proves that the "seasonal color" rule was made to be broken. Plus, the green has a bit of brightness to it, which makes it feel fresh and new, and yes, spring-like. The rest of the face is otherwise kept soft, with neutral, browny-peach blush and a peachy-nude lip – almost a perfect match to the neutral shade worn at the recent Chanel show, which, as Beauty Editor pointed out, is almost a dead ringer for MAC's famed Twig lipstick. Love the hair too: slicked into a side chignon, it looks fresh and modern and a little romantic. And behold the brows! This girl obviously has great eyebrows to begin with, but they've been played up with some brown shadow to deepen their presence, which frames the entire look beautifully.
