Welcome to LA Diaries

Joanne Pedon, an LA Make-Up top tutor talks about the hottest lip trend for this season.
The purple trend was seen all over the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalks.
Whether on the eyes in watercolor washes of plum and lavender or on the lips in dramatic violet, purple makeup is BIG this season.

Misty eyeshadows, ranging from soft lilac to stronger blocked purples, were at both seen at Marios Schwab and Versace.
Purple was not only seen on the runway. For instance stars like Rihanna were spotted on the front row in Paris sporting a deep purple lip.
Other colour statements came in the form of bold features such as lips, with orange at Prada and dark red at Dolce & Gabbana.
