Make-Up Artist magazine's beauty editor, Melissa MacGillivray, got a backstage view of
the make-up trends emerging from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's NY Fall
2011 shows. "Come fall, we'll be seeing a lot of creamy skin and minimal
foundation, cream blush applied with the fingers for a glowing flush
and stained lips in shades ranging from the palest violet to the deepest
wine," MacGillivray said. "Cool color schemes dominated: think smoky
gray eye shadows paired with lips washed in mulberry. Missing from the
usual set of beauty staples? Eye and lip liner."
See highlights from the shows below. All artists were working with M.A.C. unless otherwise noted.

 Time/Date: 7:15 p.m. Feb. 13 Place: Don Hill's Show: Bess Key Key Make-up Artist: Vincent Oquendo/Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Details: Club-kid culture inspired uniquely colorful looks for each model. Body
paint, high-shine gloss and glitter added even more texture and light.
 Time/Date: Noon Feb. 14 Place: Milk Studios Show: Ohno Titel Key Make-up Artist: Lisa Butler Details: Graphic lines and sharp edges are punctuated with "little, weird bright flits of color."

pattern. (Here, the artist dips a cotton thread in liquid silver pigment
to create an X-shaped pattern on the model's face.)

Time/Date: 2:30 p.m. Feb. 14 Place: Metropolitan Pavillion Show: Yeohlee Key Make-up Artist: Itsuki Details: A creamy gray shadow and a warm, orange lip play off the idea of light reflecting off sculpture
 Time/Date: 4:30 p.m. Feb. 14 Place: Chado Ralph Rucci Showroom Show: Chado Ralph Rucci Key Make-up Artist: Tom Pecheaux Details: Rucci's signature smoky black eye gets a modern twist with matte skin, nude lips, and no brow.

interest than straight black for this Faye Dunaway/Bonnie & Clyde
inspired look.

| U.K. team collaborates for a different 'Alice in Wonderland' - Tuesday August 04, 2009 |
| On a cold and cloudy Oxford afternoon, U.K. make-up artist Sarah Terry collaborated with photographer Rebecca Parkes, hairstylist Sean Butt and designer Bibian Blue to create this dark vision of Alice in Wonderland.
The Victorian and Edwardian eras inspired Terry to contrast creams and
gold hues with vibrant reds and smoky blacks. Appliqués, feathers, nail
art and Butts’ elaborate hair design gave the looks texture. This
particular Alice (Samantha Wilkinson) and White Rabbit (Blossom Blois)
look innocent, but there’s a hint of mischief here, too. Let’s follow
them down the path, shall we? |
