The Inspiration: We love the fresh look of Behnaz Sarafpour’s Spring 2006 line (opposite page, inset). Fashion’s new “It” girl, Sarafpour brings us simple yet ladylike shifts and wrap dresses with flounces and eyelet details. We applaud the designer’s pared-down approach to everything, including the models’ makeup. Their faces were clean and golden, with just a hint of color on lips and cheeks. The look is easy glamour, natural beauty—and perfectly suited to Dallas’
warm weather.
The Colors: Lilac. Rose. The golden tones of a tan—fake or otherwise.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK
1. FACE |
2. LIPS |
3. EYES |
Use foundation for a flawless base, especially if your skin tone is uneven. Or save time and effort; get a radiant glow by applying bronzer to the nose, forehead, throat, and generously on the cheeks. Apply pink blush to the apple of the cheeks, creating a look of health and vitality. | Lightly define the lips with a peach-tone lip pencil and fill in with gloss. To create more dimension, apply iridescent pink gloss in the center of the top and bottom lip to add fullness. | A light shimmer shadow on the upper lids, beneath the eyebrows, and around the tear ducts creates subtle highlights. Follow with a darker shade on the crease of lids and along lower lashes. After one light-handed application of mascara, swipe a bit of extra mascara on the outer corners to thicken lashes. |
