Fond memories of Jane Austen's first published work of romantic fiction, Sense and Sensibility forever remain etched in the minds of avid female readers of all ages. Set in southwest England in the late 1700's, who can forget the dancing images of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne as we followed their lives and loves to their humble cottage in the country where they experienced love, romance and heartbreak.
One can only imagine the timeless beauty of the sisters as we turn the pages of this classic book and dream of country fresh skin, the flushed skin of the great outdoors and the understated elegance that may very well have been the 'look' of that period. One of the trends hitting the runways this season is sensible, healthy looking and effortlessly groomed makeup. It is somewhat of a rural approach to city makeup with the inspiration taking on an equestrian, aristocratic 'country' angle; the impeccable application however, is definitely 'town'. It's about timeless classics done in a modern way that ultimately carries a sophistication that elevates the look way beyond a trend and instead becomes a modern classic.
