Ron King: Three Makeup Trends to Try
by The Style King/Ron King on Monday, May 3, 2010
Ron King has worked as a hairstylist, transforming people’s appearances, for more than 20 years. With a growing celebrity clientele, King travels the world taking inspiration from different cultures and countries. Along the way, he has developed his own “easy wear” style philosophy which plays up a woman’s natural hair texture and pairs it with natural-looking makeup that’s easy to apply. This mantra led him to launch a signature line of cosmetics for women who want to look pulled together but who are are short on time. King has worked with some of the most respected names in the industry, including L’Oreal Professional, Ted Gibson, Eva Scrivo and Rick Wellman.
Whether your client’s hair is naturally sun-kissed and streaky or she’s more of a bottle blonde, come spring and summer most women lighten up their locks. While brightening up their mane can do wonders for the face (creating a halo-like effect around it gives everyone a softer look), it is just as important to adjust their makeup accordingly to better suit their coloring. With all the cool new makeup trends on the market and with the warmer seasons coming up, now is the perfect time to show your clients how to switch up their makeup palette. Here are my top three spring makeup trends to show your clients.
Light & Lovely
Pastel eye shadow (inspired by the ’70s) reigned supreme at the spring/summer 2010 runway shows and is an easy trend to incorporate into your client’s look. Light shades like lavender, baby blue, and light green are especially flattering and versatile (lavender with brown eyes and blue or green on hazel eyes looks gorgeous). The key when selecting appropriate eye shadow is to keep the client’s individual coloring in mind. For fairer skin, try pastels with a bit of shimmer to add more interest to the face while darker complexions can get away with deeper-hued shades. Remember when picking an eyeliner to pair with pastels, that you want to stay away from matching the liner to the color of the shadow to avoid looking dated. Keep the look sophisticated and streamlined with brown or black liner on the top eyelid, drawn close to the lash line and maybe extending a bit out if they’re on the daring side. (I’m a makeup artist as well as a stylist and one trick I love is to line the top lash line with black liner and go over it with the pastel shadow.) Finish the look with sky high, flirty lashes by adding a lengthening mascara.
Partner this soft look with non-matte, dewy skin. You can get the effect by mixing a regular foundation with facial moisturizer or by simply using a mineral tinted moisturizer, like my own Mineral Sheer Tints. Highlighting sticks and strategically placed shimmer on the face create luminosity and help to achieve that sunny glow also. Rosy blush or bronzer and tinted lip gloss complete the face.
Go Nude
Another stylish makeup trend to update your client’s beauty routine is to have her try nude lip colors. Inspired by the mod ’60s, shades of nude lipstick and gloss (and clothing for that matter) were on the runways recently, and the look is perfect for those who prefer a more natural look. For lots of drama, go for a smoky eye in black or grey, which will offset the nude lip color. Keep blush to a minimum. For a simpler face, you might want to pair nude, glossy lips with tawny colored blush and light eye makeup (mascara and a neutral eyelid).
Bold & Daring
If your client prefers a more exotic face, take a hint from Dolce & Gabbana’s spring/summer 2010 show and go for loud, ethnically inspired makeup. Dark red lips were paired with bronzed cheeks and precisely lined black eyes. Accordingly, D&G was inspired by their native Sicily and the bold, sexy makeup popular there. Although the look is seemingly simple enough to achieve, instruct clients to proceed with caution. Be sure the red lip color is perfect for your client’s complexion and that the whole look is very precise and neat. It is also best saved for night or special occasions since it is a bit much for everyday wear.
Above all, have fun doing your clients’ makeup and remember that simply suggesting new makeup colors is a great way to drum up retail sales.
