Style Update from 2007 Look in Madrid

That Jennifer Anniston look is out, out, out.

The operative style is somewhere between a 1960s Andy Warhol and the bobbed look of Posh Spice Victoria Beckham.

Posh hair also translates to fewer blond highlights - just full heads of rich, uniform color.

Makeup, meanwhile, is moving in the same dramatic direction as hair with the resurrection of the 1940s sophistication of Audrey Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, according to representatives of international brands such as Make Up For Ever.

That means bright red, well-defined lips are back, along with eyeliner and dark, matte eye shadows (but not at the same time, lest the 1980s rear its garish head).

And anyone who feels nostalgia for their mother's makeup table will be happy to known that a new generation of false eyelashes has joined the mix, but they are applied as extensions in half-hour salon sessions, and they are supposed to last two months on the lid.
