Walking the line

We tend to opt for the bright lip shades in the summer and the eyeliner styles in the autumn and winter months.  Eyeliner acts as a comforting fail safe make-up style and one that works to add a little edge to an otherwise subtle look.

However the make-up trends for 2013 are proving to be a little different and a little more defined in style.  Eyeliner has taken on a new twist in order to receive a much-needed update for 2013.

The double swish was one such look that was taking centre stage at New York Fashion Week.  Forget the single flick of last season and welcome a more volumised style.

Altuzarra invested in the help of a MAC expert for their most recent show and this is the show that introduced the aerodynamic double swish.

Tom Pecheux used this revamped style to create a grunge punk couture feel.

Francis Daly opted to work with NARS cosmetics in order to create another double whammy style for the 3.1 Philip Lim show.  However his look was slightly different to that of Pecheux’s!  He instead used two colours to create the swish style, one in a deep black and one in a hot pink shade.  The end result was a completely revamped and refreshed style for 2013.

Carolina Herrera appointed MAC make-up artist Diane Kendal in order to create yet another stylish make-up option.  She worked to create a fine line of product along the upper lashes.  This in turn defined them in order to create the illusion of lashes coated in copious amounts of mascara.

The infamous colour artist Jenna Mennard worked with the models at Karen Walker in order to create an extremely detailed style.  This detail style didn’t however hold the original flick of past seasons and instead stopped at a straight edge.  This had the effect of a contemporary and cool style.
