Trae Bodge Gives ThisThatBeauty Beauty Trends for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week AW/11

ThisThatBeauty.com managed to snag Trae Bodge to summerize the Mercedes Benz Fall/Winter 2011 Beauty Trends.

Here’s an excerpt of Trae’s trendspotting for ThisThatBeauty.com

As Creative Director of Three Custom Color Specialists, one of my favorite responsibilities was to search for beauty trends on the New York catwalks. We would create new products and shades based on those trends.

I recently left the company and was so thrilled to be invited to generate a trend report for ThisThatBeauty, which happens to be one of my very favorite beauty blogs. Thank you for having me, Felicia – it’s an honor!

Trend #1 – NUTMEG

The most prevalent beauty trend during New York Fashion Week was what I’m calling the “Nutmeg” trend. Everyone from Richard Chai Love, Victoria Beckham and Charlotte Ronson showcased Nutmeg tones on the eyes, lips and cheeks. As a makeup artist, I didn’t find it to be a very exciting look, but it is certainly flattering and fresh in “real life”. I thought this look was most effective with collections that featured khaki tones, like Charlotte Ronson and Richard Chai Love.
I liked the “Nutmeg” look best when it was paired with a strong brow, like at Christian Siriano, Proenza Schouler (pictured above) and Christian Cota. The strong brow framed the face and lent some modernity to this otherwise safe look

Here’s another look from Trae’s breakdown for ThisThatBeauty.com
FAVORITE “OUT THERE” LOOK

Definitely Jeremy Scott. His bright, colorful clothing was shown with fluorescent pink and orange makeup, big fake lashes and here and there, a messy, shimmery smokey eye here. I also liked the fact that the models were all made up a big differently – a refreshing change from the same makeup look model after model

There are two more fab trends on ThisThatBeauty.com that you need to check out.

Thank you, Trae and Felicia!
