What are the main looks for Spring and Summer 2008, in the beauty arena? Take a cue from the makeup on the models for Spring/Summer 2008 fashion shows from Chanel, Givenchy, Armani and the other top designers from around the world. Makeup should complement your outfit and the image you want to project. An ultra luxurious outfit with volumes luxe fabrics, in styles fit for the royal court goes best with understated makeup that will not clash with your look. Spa style outfits in natural fabrics, simple styles and neutral colors go very well with nude, or barely there makeup. For Spring/Summer 2008, 4 types of makeup styles dominated the runways, favouring 4 images of beauty: The Temptress, Freda, Hollywood Femme Fatale and the Natural Beauty. Each looked played up just one feature. The result is sexy without overkill.

1. Smoky Eyes - The Temptress Here, the focus is on the eyes. Heavily mascaraed eyes, with lots of liner and very dark, smokey eyeshadow brings all the attention to the eyes. That look is balanced with naturally rosy lips and pale cheeks to avoid looking tarty.

2. Strong Brows - Strong Woman Freda style In this case, brows are exagerrated. Lips are a medium shade of red or pink or peach or bronze while cheeks are barely flushed.

3. Bright Red Lips - Hollywood Femme Fatale That's the look of the 40's movie starlet. Bright red lipstick, but toned down eyes and cheeks. The lips are painted scarlet, orange red or crimson while eyes aren't obviously lined. Mascara too is light and the eyeshadow is in a natural shade like sand. Blusher, if any, is applied with a very light hand, in a shade that goes with the lipstick.

4. Barely There Makeup - Natural Beauty. That's the classic nude makeup look popular every summer. Yes, you use liner, mascara, lipstick, blusher and eyeshadow but the choice of color makes the difference. Pick colors brownish pink shades for lips and cheeks, sand, or browns slightly darker than your natural skintone for your eyeshadow and brown mascara and liner for that naturally pretty look.
