Fall Makeup Trends:Lancôme Ink Artliner in Indigo Charm

I can’t get enough from my Lancôme Ink Artliner in Indigo Charm Longwear Calligraphy Gel Eyeliner ($23.50) from Lancôme’s Fall 2009 color collection, Declaring Indigo. The gel eyeliner was first seen backstage at Chris Benz New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 and looks even better on Marta’s eyes:)lol

Indigo blue is a beautiful fall shade, it reminds of a beautiful fall evening sky and it’s a nice break from black. I’m already a huge Lancôme anything for the eyes fan, so I’m very excited about their new addition!

Thanks to ghd, Talking Makeup is excited to give you a sneak peek to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2010!

“The Modern Hippie”

The Look: For her Resort 2010 Swim collection, Mara Hoffman drew inspiration from a spiritual exploration in the desert, which translated into a variety of unique silhouettes and colorful psychedelic prints, ranging from bold and bright to softer and more feminine

The ghd Way: Clean, bouncy waves for a modern take on the classic hippie coif. Lopez prepped the hair with ghd creation spray to protect models’ hair and provide a flexible hold for styling. He used a variation of ghd’s summer wave technique to create the clean, textured waves which was done by placing the ghd IV styler near the roots of hair and turning it 180 degrees upward and away from the scalp.

The ghd IV styler was slowing pulled down until it reached the midpoint between the roots and the ends, then flipped 180 degrees the opposite way and pulled all the way through the remaining half. Once the waves were created, Lopez misted ghd sea spray throughout to give the look definition and its overall beachy, matte texture.
