If you are looking for an update makeup look for this season, you can’t go wrong by listening to the Insider, Morgan Tan, General Merchandise Manager of Cosmetics from Lane Crawford. “For Autumn/Winter 2009, we see an emergence of 80’s hits and modernised Hollywood glamour and we invite you to visit Lane Crawford for all your needs to create the perfect look for this season.”

This Autumn/Winter 2009, the makeup trend is shaping a return to the 80’s with glamorously overdone makeup with bold colours and hues to complement the extremely dramatic looks from princess gowns to dresses with built-in shoulders and high-waisted jeans.

Theatrical colours are the focus.  All colours in the rainbow and beyond can be found this season.  Gone are the days when neutral tones and understated makeup dominate the runway; do not be afraid to accessorise your face with colours this season.  Make eyes the focus of your dramatic look with shu uemura’s Primitribe makeup which features pressed eye shadows that awaken the colours of wild plants and birds.  Clé de Peau Beauté offers cream eye shadows in pink, purple, silver and blue among many colours – blend them at the edges till they disappear into the skin to create a bold eye look.  Brush a touch of M.A.C eye shadows in bold hues such as cobalt blue, emerald green, bright purple, red and fuchsia above the shadow to give it a touch of shimmer and texture.  Use contrasting eyeliner like the ones from shu uemura, which helps create the cat-eye effect, and add major volume to your lashes with Giorgio Armani beauty’s Eyes To Kill Mascara or stila’s Convertible Mascara.  

Strong lips in bright fuchsia pink are a big hit this season.  Make them matte or powdery using Ípsa’s new Lip Gloss Duo or opt for an equally sexy but darker tone for the lips with NARS’ Fast Ride lipstick equally sexy but darker tone for the lips with NARS’ Fast Ride lipstick.

For the cheeks, use Yves Saint Laurent’s blush to give yourself heavy contours and get the look straight off the 80’s album cover of Duran Duran’s Rio as seen on the models at the Marc Jacob’s Autumn/Winter runway.

Another major trend is the New Hollywood Glamour.  Fresh and flawless skin, which is one of the key trends of Spring/Summer, continues in Autumn/Winter 2009.  While the former emphasises more aesthetics and a strong, unapologetic glowing skin, the updated look suggests more subtle aesthetics.

Invest in a good foundation like Becca’s Stick Foundation SPF30+ to smooth out your skin.  Another option is La Mer’s Skincolor Collection which helps capture light and transfer its energy to the skin with The Treatment Powder Foundation SPF 15 and The Radiant Concealer SPF 25.

Lips are always the focal point of a Hollywood glamour girl.  Go for Yves Saint Laurent first gloss stick which combines the ultra sensual application of a lipstick and the radiant shine of a gloss.  Pick shades in deep burgundy and bright red for example, Rouge G Lipstick from Guerlain that perks up your complexion and keep the lips matte for a sophisticated classic Hollywood effect.  

Apply black eyeliner from Giorgio Armani beauty’s Liquid Silk Eye Liner in one continuous sweeping motion, winging it up and out at the outer corner of each eye to create a sleepy bedroom eye, which perfectly offset the matte red lips.
