SPRING/SUMMER 2013 BEAUTY TRENDS - STATEMENT EYES

Christian Dior's take on Spring/Summer 2013 make-up is all about the eyes. Full-on pop of colour with neon eyeshadows and lots of Swarovski crystals scattered across the lids. Keeping everything else really simple so the eyes are the statement piece.

Chanel's look is focused on the striking metallic silver Illusion d'Ombre eye shadow, with smoky black eyeliner used on the lash line. The look reminds me very much of Black Swan, pared with Rouge Allure in Gracile on the lips to create the pretty shade of shell pink.

Versace's Spring/Summer trend is big on the metallic gold eyes complemented with big lashes and natural face make-up. Any of these looks would look great on a summer's evening, letting the eyes do the talking! 

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD REBRANDS ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET

Vivienne Westwood has teamed up with the English National Ballet for their new campaign in a chance to rebrand and broaden the appeal of dance. In the images a cast of dancers have been loaned her Spring/Summer 13 collection looks. The imagery aims to celebrate a fusion of modernity and tradition, the clothes were chosen to underline an unconventional-yet-classical image. The campaign which a Westwood spokesperson described as 'a perfect collaboration of English tradition' - was formulated with the help of creative agency The Beautiful Meme. I feel the images are quite moody, which helps to add drama and movement to the clothes, showing you behind the scenes, instead of what we just see on the stage. The ballet has also created a new logo and website to help rebrand themselves. The company's new logo representing speech marks and pointe shoes, is designed to show that 'everyone in the company, from young dancers to the outreach team, has something to say.' What do you think of the campaign?
