Spring 2011 Couture Runway Beauty Roundup

January 31, 2011

With the Spring 2011 Haute Couture Season at a wrap, let’s review some of my favorite beauty looks.


Purple lips reigned the runway at Armani Privé. But what made these matte lips different from the metallic purple lips we saw at Zac Posen Spring 2009, is the tiny rhinestone that adorned the bottom left corner.

At Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior and Chanel, the look was signature Parisian – black liquid cat-eye. The liner was dragged all the way to the brow bone at JPG for a “chic and aggressive” vibe, while Dior paired a thick line with pastel eyeshadow and a blunt cat eye added “a playful twist” at Chanel.

To achieve a “young and fresh” look, models at Ellie Saab were given dewy skin and rosy cheeks and lips with the help of cream blushes and tinted lip conditioners.

Finally, bleached eyebrows was paired with pink eyes at Valentino.

    My favorite is the Dior look, and I must admit I like the purple lips too 🙂 Bleached brows, however, I still can’t get behind.
