Spring 2009 Beauty Trends: Backstage at Yeohlee

SHOW: YEOHLEE

MAKEUP: Vincent Longo for Vincent Longo (shown left)

MODEL: Ubah Hassan for Click

BEAUTY BOTTOM LINE: Don't be afraid to make a statement—with red.

THE LOOK: Backstage at YEOHLEE was calm, cool and collected, just like the designer and her Spring '09 collection. Longo created a look that accented YEOHLEE's Parisian parks-inspired collection perfectly. He stressed that this season is about playing up one key element and not being afraid to take a risk with the makeup and with color. In this case, that color is undeniably red. Lip liner and lipstick in shades of firey red were applied to the eye, from the outer corner of the lashline to the brow, and blended out towards the inner corner. To balance the strong eye look, Longo kept the skin satin-matte and the lip neutral with a nude gloss.
