Ballerina beauty

Great article

In another life I am sure I was a ballerina I love everything about the ballet. Ballet is my favourite artform. Degas is my favourite artist he captured ballerinas so well.

i agree, you can definately tell a dancer when you see one! i do think though that the whole 'ballerina beauty' idea is more about non-dancers perseptions of a ballerina, rather than what ballerinas actually do. i am a full time dancer myself and when we are not performing in tutus and full clown-like stage makeup, we are lounging around (often stretching!) in baggy pants and tops with absolutely no makeup what so ever on.

I think ballerinas are so elegant. I always wanted to be one. I just loved dancing

Must be honest and say ballet is not a favourite of mine. Do not get me wrong, I think the ladies look elegant and I know a lot of hard work takes place. Everything from their make-up to dress is too clinical and fragile. SandraXxX

ballerina's are so graceful

Love the sleek ballerina style bun.

I cant do a good bun

Ballerinas represent class and grace, and is something I really wish I had of done as a child but I will be off to see black swan.

The movie looks ok. Iv heard mixed reviews so might wait for DVD. I love the ballerina look! I really regret not doing ballet when I was younger. They have such poise and are so flexy! I will def get my daughter to do it. So cute in their little tutus haha

I lurrve 'ballerina beauty', been doing it for ages -always makes me feel elegant and positively french :)

I don't know a lot about the film Black Swan but it sounds interesting from what i'm reading in the comments here. I like ballerina beauty, anything classic and chic is a look I like.

ballerina has a really preppy, graceful look. I wuld love to watch black swan, maybe i'd wait for the dvd though, since i heard it has mixed reviews. Some ppl love it, while others loathed it

They always look elegant & graceful which I cannot do at my age.

It's such a great look when you want to feel polished and girly! Simple and elegant and no doubt about to become very popular due to this movie.... on the other hand, there will be the Burlesque look too LOL

Ballerina's are the ultimate symbol of femininity. The prettiest of the pretty... and yes, I am dying to see Black Swan!

I am so not graceful enough to pull of the balerina look

Black Swan looks like an interesting movie judging by the trailer

You have to admire ballerinas, the dedication they go through is extreme to say the least. However if the look is going to be ballerina like I hope young girls in particular take this as just a make up look and not an all over body type. Not to many of us are built like dancers, and neither should we attain to be. As they say everything in moderation

I love the elegance of a ballerina look but I don't like it as a day to day look. Especially I think this look is great on skinny people but not on someone who's a bit more round, like me for example.. It's just not flattering. You have to have a nice bone structure and long neck and all that to really pull it off.. Would love to watch the movie!

Black Swan is a great psychological thriller - a clever mix of perfection and obsession. It's also visually stunning so check out the choreography, costumes and makeup. The film score is fantastic too.

I love the ballerina look - I've seen the Paris Opera Ballet and the dancers are so beautiful and graceful. I have a lot of respect for dancers for their commitment, endurance of pain and disciplined diets.

I haven't seen black swan yet! it looks a bit confusing, hahaha. Love the ballerina look though (:

I think your predictions of a 'ballerina look' might come true Carli! We'll just have to wait! I haven't seen the Black Swan yet! Heard it's a movie that a bit challenging- not a normal psychological thriller genre. Oooh I really cant wait to see it!!

I love the ballerina look. Can't wait to watch the Black Swan, the today show gave it 4.5 stars!
