Turn winter into spring

1970s, barbara daly, Hair and make-up, Honey Magazine, Inspirational Images, Make-up, Robert Marin, Vivienne Lynn

Here is how to bring your face right out of its winter doldrums.

This is the time of the year when you’re caught in a sort of non-season. Not quite winter, not quite spring – and you’re not quite sure what to do with yourself.

So it’s a good chance for experimenting with the newest combinations of the latest brightest shades. But subtly: phasing your face out of winter into the sunshine colours of spring.

Colours to look for are clear greens, lemon yellow, pure blues, reds, marigolds and warm pinks. Textures are creamy: in face-shapers, eyeshadows and lipsticks. Foundation stays palish, and eyebrows tweezered thin. Lips are bow-shaped, outlined with Biba’s lip pencils. And eyes are wider than ever, with lots of clear colour and still no eyeliner unless it tones in with your eyeshadow.

Model is Vivienne Lynn.

It’s party time! And there are lots of slinky, exciting numbers around. So all you Christmas sophisticates get moving. Add tops to simple, sleeveless dresses and Hey, Presto! You’ve doubled your party outfits. Search around street markets for strips of exotic fabric — wind them round your head or drape them around your shoulders. Go wildly Eastern by wearing satin pants and sexy, close-fitting blouses. Use a little imagination and transport yourself (and escorts!) into a fantasy world. Can you hear Middle-Eastern music? You’re in the land of The Thousand And One Nights.

Yves by Night

Corselette in black velvet, tightly laced at front, about £88. Three-tiered skirt in pleated taffeta in shades of flame, about £438. Gold high-heeled pumps with lacing up leg, about £50.

Saint Laurent’s latest evening clothes kick their way straight out of the Moulin Rouge. These are the sexiest clothes ever: tightly-laced bodices on tiny straps, in plain colours, huge billowing, bouffant skirts in brilliant shades of crunchy taffeta or brightly-dyed cotton. Notice the new skirt lengths, short and saucy to only just below the knee, or flamenco-length, a scant two inches above the ankle. Eminently copiable, this look —Janet Reger is already doing the La Goulue corselettes, and your dressmaker could run up a quick twelve yards of taffeta.

One of the models is Sayoko Yamaguchi.
