"If you want to bring this look that I did for the Haute Couture show to the street, it is very easy. It's a beautiful lip color, lip shade, and a nude eye," said Peter Philips, the brand's global creative director of makeup. "Everybody can wear it, it doesn't necessarily have to be a red red, you can do a more intense pink or a darker shade of beige."
He also hints at a "super luxurious" product he's working on with Karl to come out at the end of the year, hmm....
Christian Dior Haute Couture kicked off Couture Fashion Week in Paris today with horticulture-inspired gowns and technicolor blooms. The crazy color wasn't relegated to the fabrics however. Blue, green and purple or orange or blue and yellow were applied on eyes in geometric shapes.
This light and ethereal makeup look may have been for the Fall 2010 Narciso Rodriquez runway, but I think it makes a fresh spring look as well. Shiseido Artistic Director Dick page used the brand's products to create this look marked by bold, dark eyebrows. It's also a fairly simple look to recreate, read on!
London Fashion Week played host to many stunning styles and cutting edge creations, but one hairdresser particularly stood out. Michael Barnes was the genius behind the stunning creations pictured above which blended his artistry with colour with his love of structured design.
Three of his avant garde pieces graced the catwalk at Pierre Garroudi's LFW show. I love the fierce red colour and the hairpieces remind me of waterfalls and blood at the same time. The flowing pieces must surely have placed major pressure on the models, as these gravity defying pieces must have been quite a weight to bear!
They models in this years Vivienne Westwood show has a distinctly Helena Bonham Carter feel to them, with their huge backcombed hair and blank staring eyes. Perhaps it's just the fact that Helena often ends up playing roles which see her as a starkly dressed anti hero, and this theme was echoed in the models makeup and style.
Jacob Kimmie showcased his latest collection 'Pilgrim' at London fashion week this year, but whilst the fashion crowd may have gasped in wonder over his use of sheer silk and Aztec styled dresses, we couldn't help but adore the decorative gold masks and smokey eyes that adorned the models.
The show was inspired by the idea of religious rituals in modern day society and their Aztec ancestry, and the show had a dark yet playful spirit. The final model held a baby in her arms, which fused together the notions of sprituality and rebirth, and all models sported kohl rimmed eyes. Black liner was used in excess to compel attention to the eyes,with the rest of the face being left neutral with pale skin and nude lips.
Fashion East is a show which celebrates up and coming designers, giving them support and the opportunity to showcase their collections. This year they're hosting their second show at the Somerset House Vaults, and we've gone backstage to view the beauty looks that are being created.
The Fashion East show I viewed features three hot young designers; Michael Van der Ham, Nasir Mazhar and Heikki Salonen and each designer has created a very different look for the models.
