MANISH ARORA F/W
“A girl coming from the future into the manish world with a very chic look, looking a little 50′s,” says Makeup Artist Carole Lasnier, “As sexy as possible.”
The Breakdown
Eyes Carole applied MAC Eye Shadow in Gesso and Vanilla all over the eyelids, and applied MAC Iridescent Loose Powder in a half moon shape over the eyes and down onto the cheekbones to highlight. MAC Eye Brows in Stud were used to sculpt and create the dramatic, elongated shape of the brows. Carole generously coated the lashes with MAC Opulash Mascara in Bad, Bad, Black. She combined MAC Lash 3 and MAC Lash 36 to create a dramatic feline shape through the upper lash line. Pre-made velvet stencils in red were applied onto eyelids with duo adhesive. MAC Liquid Liner in Boot Black perfected the upper lash line.
Face
Carole applied MAC Face and Body Foundation with a MAC 190 Brush, and blended MAC Studio Finish Concealer all over the skin and eyes with a MAC 252 Brush. She applied MAC Pro Invisible Set Powder over the entier face to achieve a super matte finish, and used MAC Acrylic Paint in Pro Black to create a beauty mark.
Lips
Carole blended MAC Lipmix in Pro Crimson and MAC Lipstick in Diva and applied with a lip brush, followed with a burgundy MAC Lip Pencil. She applied MAC Clear Lip Glass at the final moment for a high-gloss effect.
BALMAIN F/W
“It is a Balmain girl, a Balmain makeup,” says Makeup Artist Tom Pecheux, “Nothing to be seen, everything to be done. Complete transparency. Creamy contour and highlights.”
The Breakdown
Eyes
Pecheux smudged and blended MAC Pro Sculpting Cream (available autumn/winter 2011) with fingers softly over the eyelid and under the eye. He curled lashes and opened the eyes with MAC Zoomlash Mascara in Lofty Brown for imperceptibly defined lashes. The overall look should imitate the natural contours and shadow of eyes without makeup.
Face
Pecheux massaged MAC Studio Moisture Cream into the skin to pamper and hydrate, and then blended MAC Face and Body Foundation over the skin with a bit of concealer where necessary for a natural finish. He applied MAC Cream Color Base in Seaside (available Autumn/Winter 2011) with a finger to highlight. For contour, Pecheux blended MAC Cream Color Base in Pro Root onto the hollows of the cheeks.
Lips
Pecheux applied MAC Lipglass in Illicit (available Autumn/Winter 2011) with fingers for a wet, humid effect on lips.
