Designer Christopher Kane has teamed up this year with Nars to create a collection to help women achieve the runway beauty look that his models are known for… the bare face. The collaboration with Nars is said to include color, well Christopher Kane’s version of color which is subtle and simple. Such simplicity of makeup ensures that the natural beauty of women is clearly seen and not masked by layers of cosmetics and tints. Christopher Kane says,

Look like the queen of the beach by incorporating the season’s hottest shades! What colors will have you looking like a Mer-Goddess while lounging in your beach chair? Don’t go near an ocean without wearing purple, turquoise or hot pink. These three tints are the trending eye shadow colors perfect for any day beach trip.
Forget the whole beauty notion that summer makeup can’t include darker shades of color or can’t showcase some extra drama. Yes, the lighter beauty colors normally made available during the spring and summer seasons can be fun to play with, however, that does not mean you must leave out darker shades from your makeup looks. Dark lips are definitely in and even during spring/summer runway shows dramatic cat-eye makeup was all the rage. Modernize the look by allowing your upper eyelid line to float instead of traditionally just framing or following the lash line. During the Atelier Versace runway show model’s cat-eye makeup included liner being drawn along the crease.
Beauty Answer: With a good regimen changes and results should be noticeable within 2-3 months. Just like with regular hair (or hair which grows from the scalp) everyone is different and for some the process can be quicker or slower. The key is consistency and realizing that lashes need a little attention on a daily basis. Eyelash growth treatments, serums and lash conditioners help to stimulate your eyelash growth cycle so that lashes grow in thicker, longer and darker.
Cheap Can Be Chic: Here’s a little trick if lash conditioners are not quite in the budget at the moment. Buy a moisturizing lip balm and apply a little to your lashes every night.
We are fans of Ghanaian stylist Edward Enninful and we were delighted to see his latest work for W magazine. In the June 2015 edition, Enninful got to dress up the beautiful Jourdan Dunn for an editorial showcasing fashions we can’t wait to rock once the heat wave ends. Many of the season’s trends seem to spill on over i.e. stripes, florals and patchwork pants. Moreover, are we the only ones that are absolutely in love with those globe earrings? The entire editorial is simply genius and had an all star team to boot. Hair and makeup were handled by Shon Hyungsun Ju as well as Frankie Boyd and the shoot was lensed by Alasdair McLellan.
It can be challenging to make something so simple still seem full of depth. This is why the Markaware S/S 2015 lookbook gets a fashionable mention today because of the very clean yet enhanced fashions. The collection reads as minimalistic meets military with a color palette in the earthy tones arena. Collection shows that when tailoring is done well you don’t really need much more.
