I need only write the name, the iconic image makers vision will do the rest. The brand is one of the first we think of when “ultimate luxury” comes to mind. It isn’t breaking news that this spring will be blooming with pastel shades, as we previewed in the Spring 2010 fashion weeks. Born in 1969, the Dior cosmetics line has been slapping couture on faces for 40 years - establishing itself as a staple in many makeup bags around the world.

Now, Pat McGrath - the makeup artist that created spring 2010’s Dior trademark look- put together a combination that took me slightly by surprise. It is very rare that you find a pastel eye paired with a bright red lip. In fact, it isn’t a combination that I have ever considered. When I first saw the show photos I thought, “why do I like this so much, but feel so weird about it?” It is just simply breath taking, and new. I am a sucker for vintage looks, and the sophistication that comes with a red lip is reinvigorated with a young, fun, and very pastel spirit.

How do you feel about Dior spring?
