Makeup trends spring summer 2011: ICE-DREAM pastel trend

We identified two main make-up trends for the Spring summer 2011, the first one was the POP CLASSIC make-up trend, now Oranuch Yoosukdee - Training Manager , M.A.C Thailand will explain the second trend for the summer season. The second trend for the Spring Summer 2011 season (the first one - POP CLASSIC - can be found here) is about pastel colors.

If you think this color, the bright and vivid strong color does not suit you - says Oranuch Yoosukdee - then I do not want to push you to use it. Because make-up should enhance your confidence as well, and not the opposite. You should not feel uncomfortable, or even embarrassed with your make-up. If you feel uncomfortable, my advice is: you should not wear it.

But, here we use color as well, but we chose pastel. Pastel is soft, with a little bit of white, and we call this trend ICE-DREAM, like ice cream… the sorbet, the marshmallow, that type of color.

It can be lilac, soft orange… like this (and she shows me some products and colors). It is blue but different, very nice and cute.

And what can you tell us about the technique? How should these colors and products be applied for the ICE-DREAM trend?
For this trend and colors there is no need for eye blending make-up at all, just pop it and play with it! Do not worry about make-up, if you make a mistake you can remove it. It is not a big deal, so play with that, is just make-up…! And one advice for the beginners, if you want to wear this kind of color, but sometimes this is too much for you… you can apply it with an angled brush, just like you do with eyeliner, that is still the POP classic as well.

You should draw a big line, like the black one most girls usually draw, but using color. It is still POP classic. But for most ladies here in Thailand, normally also just the lipstick is enough. Sometimes they are afraid of wearing a lot of colors.

Are Thai girls afraid of bright colors?
Yes, I would say that… before they were scared, or they were not confident to wear only strong or bright colors, this is also related to the local Thai culture. But these days, now the world changes, things change, so also they start feeling more confident to put more color on their face. Now they put more colors on their lips, but when they put more color also on their eyes it means they are stronger, they are more confident, they have a strong personality.

The new trend setters, the new generation of girls who studied abroad, who have seen the world, and are more open minded… they LOVE this kind of colors. And for the very teenage girl or younger girl as well, you can go for the pastel colors. You can apply on the eyes easily, and on the lips, the color could be pastel as well.

So this was the ICE-DREAM trend, explained very well by Oranuch Yoosukdee - Training Manager , M.A.C Thailand, we suggest you also read our previous interview where Oranuch explains the POP CLASSIC make-up trend.
