Fashion Makeup Winter 2011 – Michael Kors
If there is one thing other then the clothing we draw inspiration from when the Fashion weeks of the different corners of the world takes place, it is defiantly the fashion makeup looks of the runway. It´s important to interpret these fashion and beauty statements in the same way as we would with the clothing from the runway as it can often be a bit over the top. Everything isn´t meant to be directly transferred from the runway neither onto a body nor to a face, but it is the inspiration and the idea behind the look we must take with us to understand the hottest trends for each season.
The fashion shows that gained the most attention during fashion week back in February 2010 (showing design for fall/winter 2010/2011) was Givenchy, Michael Kors, Chloé, Roberto Cavalli and Diane von Furstenberg. During this series of 5 articles, we will show you the most important trades of the fashion makeup look in hand and teach you how to transfer any extreme fashion makeup look into a night on the town look.
Fashion Makeup look # 1: “Makeup is for everyone!”
Michael Kors called in the world renowned makeup up artist (or painter as many calls him) Dick Page. The look is undoubtedly a classic, but it has simple and easy tricks that will spice up an otherwise demure and innocent look. The clue is to keep everything as peachy-orange as possible according to your own skin tone (you don´t want to end up looking like a Christmas orange either). The skin must of course be flawless and luminous, and the lips should be effortlessly nude. Leave the brows a bit messy, but defined by color. The secret is in the eye makeup; the same peachy-orange used on the cheeks takes up most of the space of the eye lid to make any eye color pop, but at the outer edges both on the top and lower lid there is a metallic blue smoke effect which brings this delicate look into a sultry evening fashion makeup.
