My favourite campaign to come out of the Spring 2010 shows is from Valentino. Featuring the platinum blonde Dree Hemingway and shot by definitely two of the finest photographers around, Mert & Marcus, I’m absolutely taken by their digital manipulation of colour. I never knew purple could look so good! Unfortunately there is no way my dark hair could ever make it to lilac, so how else can I feel like a Valentino Mert & Marcus girl? Here it is in 4 steps:
1) A touch of MAC clear gloss over the eyelids for a subtle and alluring eye.
2) A light sweep of rose petal pink blush (such as Mata Hari by Nars) across the apples of the cheek.
3) MAC lipstick in Rebel, a vivd pinkish-purple with a satin finish.
4) And two coats of Black Onyx nail polish by O.P.I.
As opposed to being a complete replication of the image, I’ve toned down the look and chosen a lipstick that is much more wearable. Now, ways to get myself that giant clutch… hmm..
