Spring 2012 Fashion Week Beauty Trends with Valentino and Donna Karan

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday February 22, 2012

Are you a dark and sultry or light and sweet kind of chick? Those were the beauty trends presented to us during the Spring 2012 fashion shows at Valentino and Donna Karan.

At Donna Karan, we saw a deep, intense lip that also had an ombre effect. The lips were almost stained looking and popped out against a minimal face. Brows were also strong, and bigger, framing the model's eyes. As for eye makeup, aside from a base, there was almost none! With a little highlighter and illuminator to give glowing skin, this gorgeous look is easy to recreate and puts all the emphasis on big lips and on detailed hair.

The hair was definitely my favourite part of the look. A sleek and smooth ponytail is brought to a whole other level with a fishnet cuff- so chic and edgy!

On the other side of the spectrum is this look by Valentino. In one word, it's just plain pretty.

The models shone with glowing skin! The look for this show was feminine, soft and delicate. Lips were painted a pale pink, and looked natural and plump. Eye make up is minimal, with light sheer sweeps of pink and taupe shadows. Eyelashes were also played up with a coat of mascara.

The hair is on the messy side, with an adorable milk maid style braid. I love how organic and sweet this is!

Which one of these looks would you go for?

I love the fishnet cuff and looking at it, I was trying to think of a way I could DIY it. I think they just used hair elastics and then maybe if you just cut the leg of a pair of fishnets, it might work??? Mmmm- time for some crafting!

I love the fishnet hair scrunchie thingie ... I wonder when it'll be out in the market? And absolutely love the milk maid style braids on miss organic! I would imagine that's hard to do though!
