MAC Trend S/S '10: American Nomad

It seems like every summer needs one of the trends to be about sunkissed skin and bronze shades. With "discrete" and "effortless" being some of the key elements in this summer's bronzed look, this trend is very different from the other two trends I've written about; Dye-A-Tribe and Pale 'n' Dandy.

What I like about American Nomad, is that even though it focuses on tanned skin, it's more about that "surfer girl" feel than a girl who has been lying in the tanning bed all winter. Not that natural is always better (hey, I rarely go for natural makeup!), but when it comes to tanned skin, I much prefer to keep too dark foundations and too much bronzing powder out of the way!


When I first heard about this trend, it was in a video about MAC trends, and there was an interview with an artist working on a fashion show, who said:

"We do almost nothing on the models, but we do MAC nothing, which is a lot!"

It really bugs me that I don't remember who said it, but I haven't been able to find the video and I only wrote down the quote and not who said it.

Since the MAC Dye-A-Tribe trend is all about color and blending, I'm having so much fun with it that I needed to do another video on it ;)

If you haven't seen the first video, I posted it here.

MAC Trend S/S '10: Dye-A-Tribe

Unlike the MAC Pale 'N' Dandy trend, Dye-A-Tribe is very much about color!
Color in an unexpected, but still very well done, way.
The trend focuses a lot on blending, and because of that, all the fun colors are still quite easy to pull off!

MAC Trend S/S '10: Pale 'n' Dandy

According to MAC, one of the big makeup trends this season is not about color at all - it's about texture!

Makeup trends for Spring/Summer 2010

Twice a year, MAC describes and names the four or five biggest trends seen in makeup on the runways.
I'm going to be doing a series of posts about the current trends - the ones for Spring and Summer 2010!

Now, I personally don't see the trends as something you need to follow or anything like that. I see it as another source of inspiration and I always like to recreate the trends to be inspired and to discover new products and techniques.
But do I care if my FOTD fits into one of the trends? Not at all! :)

Do you care about the makeup trends at all?
