Christopher’s Trends for Spring/Summer 2010
Shimmer: After a long, hard winter, it is time to get whimsical. Don’t be afraid of more shimmer than you are used to. The key is to pick an eye shadow that is good quality with finely milled mica. This means it will not look like glitter, but it will luminize the skin and look sophisticated and beautiful. Cheap makeup tends to look like big clumps of glitter, instead of fine, powder-like shimmery leaflets. You can also use a product like Saude Pele Radiance Booster to your existing shadow to add extra glow.
Coral lips: One of my favorites. The right coral color looks good on everyone, and is complimentary on all skin tones. Christopher Drummond Beauty is coming out with an all natural, organic based long lasting lip stain called “Coral Reef”. It’s the perfect blend of pink and peach, to give every woman the coral color that is so trendy this season.
Eyelashes: Probably the biggest trend for Spring/Summer is long, lush lashes. Option one: Extenstions. They last for about a month, but take maintenance. Option two: temporary lashes. I love individual lashes. They are very natural looking, and you put them where you need them. They can last a day or two, and look great. Option three: Layer mascara. Get a non-clumping mascara (I have been using Maybelline) and apply it in layers. Usually three layers is best. Focus on the outer corners of the eyes.
Bronzer/nude skin: Beautiful looking skin is always in. If you are not like Jennifer Lopez, with flawless, gorgeous skin, then fake it. Take a product like Saude Pele Radiance Booster by CDB, and lightly dust it on your cheeks, nose and forehead. It will impart a beautiful natural-looking glow, without looking like you have anything on. “fake it til you make it”!!!! apply a light-colored bronzer to give a warm glow to the skin. The key is to lightly dust it all over the face, then use a highlighter on the cheeks.
Liner on tops of eyes only: For summer, a big trend on the runways that we did for fashion week was heavy lashes and liner on the top, and little if any on the bottom. This is a pretty, youthful, fresh look that works on anyone. It also helps to open up the eyes and makes youl look more awake. Liner tends to drag down the eyes if you use too much on the bottom. This prevents that.
Blush: The right blush makes a world of difference. I’m not a fan of pink pink blush. It’s not natural looking. If you choose a blush with some orange and or yellow (“Alluring Apricot” for Christopher Drummond Beauty), you have an instant pick me up that livens the skin up. You can also use it as an eye shadow……..

Bristol Palin, the 19-year-old daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin filmed her scene on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager this week during the mother-daughter visit to Los Angeles – then made a splash at a pre-Oscar party. Working on a closed set to protect her privacy, the single mom played herself Tuesday – but as the fictional friend of Shailene Woodley’s character Amy. The episode airs in June or July.
