NYC Spring/Summer 2011 Beauty Trend: Striking Eyes

Posted by Claire | Friday September 17, 2010

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 is showing a veritable bouquet of beauty trends. Today's lesson: Striking Eyes.

Sophie Theallet, Carolina Herrera

Smoky Eyes are still in vogue. NARS stuck with soft grays and browns for Sophie Theallet, while Carolina Herrera's models sported a fresher, blooming spin on this iconic look courtesy of MAC.

Monique Lhullier, Vena Cava

Cat Eye shapes also carry over from seasons past. Monique Lhullier paired this strong eye with blushing pinks, while Vena Cava turned to tangerine lips - a trend we've seen on the runway before but hasn't quite reached the mainstream (both looks by MAC).

Peter Som (MAC), Derek Lam (Estee Lauder)

Prabal Gurung (MAC), Dennis Basso

Bright Liners and Shadows delivered pops of colour, both in the expected blues and aquas as well as sunny yellows and oranges. Whites and icy blues rounded out the spectrum.

Which look is your favourite?
