The predominant <strong>beauty trends</strong> of spring-summer 2010 set themselves apart, according to tradition, from the inspirations of this past season. One of the most interesting and evocative trends is, in my opinion, the <strong>bleached brows</strong> craze, which made its appearing act months ago in several editorials.</p>
<p>The historical evolution of <strong>eyebrows </strong>appearance has always been characterized by its cyclic and biphasical nature. In the <strong>‘60ies</strong> a fine and drawn-on line; in the <strong>‘80ies</strong> full and defined, as to suggest an ideal of a woman who found her dimension in a powerful (model), almost manly, along with a new awareness of her her own social collocation, a businesswoman who needs to affirm her personality; in early <strong>‘90ies</strong> again thin, arched and fake-looking a’la Tori Spelling (aka Donna from Beverly Hills 90210); in early 2000s thick and unkept, but neat.</p>
<p>Although last winter, with the help of all of those solid ‘80ies inspirations (above all the official come-back of structured shoulders) we’ve seen <strong>eyebrows sculpted </strong>by pencil strokes (if you’re into this, I reccomend Shu Uemura Hard Formula brow pencil, shuuemura-usa.com) or blended with a ton sur ton eye shadow, enhanced and darkened up, often the only focal point of the make-up, matched with hardcore cheekbones contouring action; the trend of these last months is diametrically opposite.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: normal;">Brows <strong>disappear</strong>, and , in most extreme cases, are shaved off, becoming a statement-non-statement, a risky aesthetic choice for a woman who is not afraid of playing with androginy, who’s not reluctant to sacrify her femininity, for the sake of an edgy alien-like, ethereal look, which -personally- I do adore.</span></h2>
<p>Eye make-up, in this case, has no boundaries, it can be smoky and heavy, graphic, precise or intentionally carefree (another huge trend for spring) or au naturel, for a total nude look. The hues can range from the classic bronze, golden, copper eyeshadows, to neon and fluo liners, the real must for this coming summer for a “minimun effort, maximum outcome” <strong>make-up</strong>, where not even mascara is necessary, gradually leaning to a cosmetic minimalism.</p>
<p>Among the first girls who rocked this look we find Lara Stone, who made bleached brows a real ‘It’ trend, but she wasn’t alone though : Natasha Poly, Sasha Pivovarova, Jessica Stam, Chanel Iman, Agyness Deyn and even Italian Bianca Balti jumped on the bandwagon.</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: normal;">Of course my dispassionate advice is</span> ‘<strong>Do Not Try This At Home</strong>’<span style="font-weight: normal;">, especially those with darker hair&#8230; you could see them turning out orange! did I scare you enough? Do entrust yourselves to expert hands as to avoid beauty disasters.</span></h2>
<p>If you want to try this look without shedding tears in remorse just hours later, here’s some tricks you can put to use : professionals apply extra full coverage foundations and stick glue to erase them.</p>
<p>Finally, I want to point out that, just like a hair dye, even colored brows need a certain maintenance : the infamous re-growth is always ready to pop out&#8230; and who would like to have two-colors eyebrows anyway?</p>
<p>The <strong>nude look </strong>gets even “nuder” indeed. What’s your take on this? do you prefer brows à la Madonna from ‘Holiday’ or are you digging this trend?</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">I </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">beauty trend</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> predominanti della primavera-estate 2010 si contraddistinguono, come nella migliore tradizione, per una netta contrapposizione rispetto alle ispirazioni della scorsa stagione.<br />
Uno dei trend che, personalmente, trovo più interessanti ed evocativi sono le sopracciglia completamente decolorate.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">L’evoluzione storica dell’estetica delle </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">sopracciglia</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> si è sempre contraddistinta per la sua natura ciclica e bifasica. Negli anni </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">‘60</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> linea sottile e disegnata; negli anni </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">‘80</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> folte e definita, a suggerire un ideale di donna che trovava la sua dimensione in un modello forte, quasi mascolino, con una nuova coscienza della propria collocazione nella società, una donna in carriera, che necessita di affermare la propria personalità; nei primi anni</span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> ’90</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> nuovamente sottili, arcuate ed artefatte alla Tori Spelling (aka Donna di Beverly Hills 90210); nei primi ‘anni zero’ folte e incolte, ma ordinate.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">Se questo inverno, complici le forti inspirazioni anni ’80 (prima su tutte il ritorno ufficiale delle spalle strutturate) abbiamo visto </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">sopracciglia scolpite</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> a colpi di matita (se vi piace l’effetto vi consiglio Shu Uemura Hard Formula brow pencil, shuuemura-usa.com ) o sfumate con un’ombretto tono-su-tono, enfatizzate e scurite, spesso l’unico punto focale del make-up abbinato ad un contouring spinto all’eccesso sugli zigomi; la tendenza di questi mesi è  diametralmente opposta.</span></em></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: normal;"><em><span style="color: #888888;">Le sopracciglia </span></em></span><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">scompaiono</span></em></strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><em><span style="color: #888888;">, nei casi più estremi vengono completamente rasate, diventano uno statement-non-statement, una scelta estetica forte per una donna che non teme di giocare con l’androginia, che non teme di sacrificare la propria femminilità in favore di un look che ha un non so che di alieno, etereo, che, personalmente, adoro.</span></em></span></h2>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">Il make-up sugli occhi, in questo caso, non ha limiti, può essere fumoso e pesante, grafico, preciso o volutamente carefree  (altro grande trend per la bella stagione) o naturale, per un’effetto total nude. I colori possono variare dai classici ombretti bronzo, oro, rame tipici della bella stagione, ai liners neon e fluo, veri must dell’estate per un </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">make-up</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> “minimo impegno-massima resa”, in cui neanche il mascara è indispensabile, tendendo sempre più ad un minimalismo cosmetico.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">Tra le prime a sfoggiare questo look ricordiamo Lara Stone, che lo ha consacrato come ‘IT’ trend, ma non è stata la sola, Natasha Poly, Sasha Pivovarova, Jessica Stam, Chanel Iman, Agyness Deyn e persino l’italiana Bianca Balti l’hanno seguita a ruota.</span></em></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: normal;"><em><span style="color: #888888;">Ovviamente il mio spassionato consiglio è </span></em></span><em><span style="color: #888888;">‘</span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">Do Not Try This At Home</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">’</span></em><span style="font-weight: normal;"><em><span style="color: #888888;">, sopratutto alle ragazze scure di capelli&#8230;rischiate di farle diventare arancioni! vi ho spaventate abbastanza? Affidatevi, quindi, a mani esperte per evitare beauty-disastri.</span></em></span></h2>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">Inoltre aggiungo che, come una classica tinta per capelli, anche le sopracciglia richiedono un certo mantenimento nella pratica: la famigerata ricrescita è sempre pronta a fare capolino.. e chi vorrebbe sopracciglia bicolor?</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #888888;">Il </span></em><strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">nude look</span></em></strong><em><span style="color: #888888;"> si fa ancora più nudo insomma. E voi che ne pensate? preferite sopracciglia alla Madonna di Holiday o vi piace questo trend?</span></em></p>
