Rosemount Australian Fashion Week 2010 saw beauty trends of fresh faces, highlights of nude colours with minimal eye-makeup and a focus on glowing, youthful skin.

Coincidently, our dear friends at Mecca Cosmetica have been celebrating Foundation Month, which is highlighting the importance of finding the right foundation according to your lifestyle, age and skine tone. They have even grouped the foundations into three main sections: full coverage with a flawless finish, sheer and natural, and youthful and radiant.

My favourites (all available at Mecca Cosmetica):

• Full coverage: Ellis Faas Skin Veil ($90)
• Sheer and Natural: By Terry Eclat de Rose Sheer Tinted Moisturizer ($129)
• Youthful and Radiant: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation ($99)

The wonderful makeup artists at Mecca  created the beauty looks for Arnsdorf and Bassike SS10/11 shows at RAFW and the “less is more” trend was apparent with the models’ skin glowing in shades from Nars, Ellis Faas and By Terry.

For those who are slightly daring, try growing your eyebrows out to achieve the latest beauty trend – thick eyebrows – to avoid looking washed out from all of these nude shades!

I’m in the process of doing this, and I can tell you it’s probably the easiest beauty trend I’ve ever tried!

My obsession with thick eyebrows started a couple of years ago with actress Jennifer Connelly and was confirmed this RAFW with Melbourne model and my new girl crush - Bambi Northwood-Blyth (Priscilla’s Model Management).

Every woman wants no-fuss beauty, and this truly means no (well, very little) fuss!

Now we don’t want Frida-style mono-brows ladies, so keep your thick brows in shape by grooming them with Rubis Swiss Cross Red Tweezers available @ Mecca Cosmetica.

And if you’re having trouble keep them from flying off in a hundred differnet directions, try NEW Brow Doctor by Enormous Lash, (available @ Mecca Cosmetica) which is a clear gel that sets unruley eyebrows!

Larger brows also take years off your age!

Happy grooming!
