Beauty Trend: Glam Makeup
By Ning Chao
"Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean, picture of a beauty queen..." Just ask Madonna: Crimson lipstick and mattifying powder possess transformative powers. When catapulting a Michigan girl to superstardom (complete with quasi-British accent), the no-makeup look just won't do. From the Great Depression through the wholesome '50s, real women wore color: gemstone shadows, jet liner, and that iconic ruby lipstick. Now, on the cusp of a new decade, grown-up glamour is back--and not just on the runways and red carpet. Forget the beachy waves and bronzer; do you really want your boss to think you just came back from vacation? A more natural pallor (evocative of long days toiling in the office), paired with a sophisticated makeup palette, shows that you mean business. C'mon, ladies, it's time to put on our faces.
