At yesterday's Valentino spring couture show, the hair and makeup were classically elegant with a modern twist.
Instead of red lipstick, models wore a bold electric pink shade. Continuing a theme from fall, the eyeliner was black and winged. And instead of neutral bronzed skin, the blush was shimmery and far from subtle.
I love when designers go all out like this instead of showing their gorgeous collections paired with bed-head hair and natural makeup. If high fashion is what you crave, be sure and check out the fabulous clothes from the spring 2008 couture shows.

- STEP 1: Begin by exfoliating skin, so you have a smooth, clear surface. Follow with a moisturizer and then a primer to create the appearance of tight pores.
- STEP 2: Next, apply a little bit of concealer under your eyes and to any red areas to even out the tone. Next, take any liquid bronzing gel and apply it all over your face, neck and decolletage, blending well so that there are no visible and unnatural dark patches.
- STEP 3: To create this pow of color and shimmer, dab your index and middle finger into a deep pink cream blush like Lancome Color Design Sensational Effects Cream Blush in Retro Rouge and dot it on the apples of your cheeks. Continue to dot the blush along your cheekbones all the way to your ears. Now blend in short upward strokes. Lastly, dab your favorite luminizer on the tip of your nose, along your cheekbones and on your temples and blend well. Magnifique!

6the dress looks nice, but i feel that's too much for applying blush.
7I kind of agree with SugarCat, the make up is a little 80's BUT i love it, especially for this show, how wonderful of a show that must have been! love the fabrics and patterns even kida the makeup with it. so spring and so popping makes me happy for spring
8I think it is great for the show, but if you don't like the blush, the dresses are to die for.
9Eww. I will pass.
