Top 5 Favorite Looks From Miami Swim 2011
Make up Forever was the official makeup sponsor of Miami Fashion Week Swim 2011 this year! Key makeup artists, Lottie and James Vincent worked a total of 13 shows and produced amazing looks for the runway. Check out my favorite looks from the week!
1. Tyler Rose
The Tyler Rose runway was all about rosy cheeks and pink lips! Check out Makeup Forever’s HD Microfinish Blush #6 and #204 lipstick to replicate the look!
Key Makeup: Lottie
2. Mara Hoffman
LOVE this tribal inspired look at Mara Hoffman!! While the white dots may not be the most practical for chillin’ at the beach, the rest of the look is totally wearable. MUFE’s #502 lipstick was used on the lips, while #7 Aqua Cream was lightly applied to the cheeks!
Key Makeup: Lottie
3. Luli Fama
Luli Fama’s look was all about the dramatic purple, coral and gold smokey eye. MUFE’s Star Powder in #954 (purple) as well as Star Powder #953 (orange) were applied to the eyes, and a hint of Aqua Cream #11 was dabbed on the inner eye to make them pop!

4. True Religion
Super dramatic lashes and peachy nude lips at the True Religion show.
Key Makeup: James Vincent
5. Aqua Di Laura
The models walking in the Aqua Di Lara show were bronzed, glowy and gorgeous! MAKE UP FOREVER’S Aqua Cream #14 was applied to the outer corner of the eyes, #17 eyeshadow was blended into the crease and #930 Star Powder was dusted over the entire lid to create a bronzed shimmery lok. The lips were topped off with Facinating Lipgloss #16!

What Was Your Favorite Look?
Bald and Bearded at Berlin’s Fashion Week
Ok.. LOL..Seriously?.. WTF?.. Why??
Last season, Patrick Mohr literally sent homeless people on the runway (along with his models) to show off his A/W 2010 collection Here. Yesterday, at his Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion show in Berlin, Mohr shocked audiences once again by making his models wear bald caps and wispy beards..
She looks happy.
Not distracting from the clothes at all..

Christian Dior Couture 2010: The Makeup and Hair
John Galliano debuted his Fall 2010 Couture collection for Christian Dior yesterday. The whimsical, colorful display of walking art was accentuated by the jawdropping makeup and hair (as usual)! Key makeup artist, Pat McGrath, gave models blocks of bright colors on the eyes and a deep purple lip, while Key hairstylist, Orlando Pita, created avant-garde, gravity defying updos. Gorgeous!

Austrailia Fashion Week – Makeup & Hair Recap
Rosemount Australian Fashion week has ended today but the hair and makeup spotted on the runways over the past few days have been insane! Makeup and Hair artists working the shows were definitely allowed to stretch their creative legs and produce some pretty wild creations! Take a look at the most interesting and avant garde designs of the week!
The Makeup
Anna Boy
Fake freckles were scattered all over the noses and cheeks of the models walking in the Anna Boy runway. They were also given colorful eyeshadows in various colors to emit a springy and young vibe.
Camilla
The Camilla show was very whimsical and fantasy-licious. Models wore all different colors of eye makeup in very dramatic designs.
Aurelio Costarella
A very simple, clean face with splatters of gold and silver along the temples. I love just a touch of drama in a tasteful fashion!
Kirrily Johnston
Spring/Summer 2010′s tribal inspiration (details here) were all over Kirrily Johnston’s runway. Each model wore a different design in a different color.
Bianca Spender
Eyebrows are definitely back (trend alert: full brows here)! Bianca Spender took the full eyebrow trend one step further by having her models wear actual feathers on their eyebrows!
Alice McCall
Somewhat similar to Aurelio+Costarella’s makeup look, Alice McCall’s models also wore a very clean face with colorful accents on the temples.
Ellery
Holy glitter! OMG, I would HATE to be one of the makeup artists working the Ellery show! That kinda glitter never goes away! It’s giving me anxiety just looking at the picture, lol! Black jewels were glued to the hands and the faces were covered in multi-colored glitter..
NEXT….
Romance Was Born
This show was very interesting! None of the makeup or hair corresponded to each other and every model was given a different, avant garde look. Some of the looks were really amazing, while others… well, not so much 
I love the all-black look (above).

Textured Eyeshadow at Chanel
Paris Fashion Week A/W 2010
Chanel
While New York Fashion Week seems like a distant memory, designers in Paris are finally showing their A/W 2010 collections!
Today, the Chanel show was an amazing spectacle. Last season, models strutted through bales of hay; this season Karl Lagerfeld took it one (or 10!) steps further by hauling in a real iceberg from Sweden to sit in the middle of his runway!
Just as mesmerizing (to me, at least), was the textured eyeshadow Chanel’s makeup artists applied to the model’s eyes. I love the brush stroke effect! Obviously, this look is not one you would wear to the office, but I love an artistic twist to a standard, black smokey eye. Keeps things interesting 
Love it? Hate it?

Spotted: Colored Eyebrows at Balenciaga!
Paris Fashion Week A/W 2010:
Green, Blue, Orange, and Pink Eyebrows!!
It’s Fashion Week in Paris as we speak and I love, love, love what I saw on the Balenciaga runway today!! While not practical at all for everyday wear, the colored eyebrows rockin’ the runway were lovely nonetheless!
Pat McGrath was the key artist for the show. She kept the entire the face super clean, with just a touch of baby pink blush on the cheeks and a hint of pink on the lips. It was the perfect canvas for such unique brows!
The subtlety is perfect. The brows are dramatic but not over the top.
I love a pink eyebrow any day of the week!

New York Fashion Week Makeup A/W 2010 Day 6 + 7
New York Fashion Week Fall 2010
Day 6 and 7
The models walking in Max Azria’s show were given a soft orange lip. Makeup artists dabbed the color onto the center of the lips and lightly blended outward. If you look closely, the out edges of the lips barely have any color on them. The upper eyelid looks to be defined with a thin black liner, and a touch of mascara.
Key Makeup Artist: Charlotte Willer for Maybelline
.
Kardashians for Bebe models were given a sultry smokey eye yesterday on the runway. The inner corners of the eyes were highlighted with shimmer and the eyeshadow was pulled out past the eye into a cat shape. Looks like a makeup look that Kim would definitely wear!
Key Makeup Artist: Nathalie Bechard for Sephora PRO
.
At first glance, I thought the makeup at Nanette Lepore’s show simple and very glamorous. Looking a little closer at the lips, I realized that they are actually two toned, making the whole look extra unique with such a simple twist!! The top lip was painted fuchsia, while the bottom lip was made a brick red.
Key Makeup Artist: Makky for MAC
.
Bleached eyebrows are officially a thing of the past! So many shows have been focusing on a fuller brow this season, including Narciso Rodriguez. Makeup artists filled in the brows making them look extra dark, even on lighter haired models. The rest of the face was left very bare with just a hint of nude lipstick on the lips.
Key Makeup Artist: Dick Page for Shiseido
.
I love the makeup created for the Michael Kors show!! Very bronzy and warm, despite the fact that it was his Fall showing :) The cheeks were deeply accentuated with a golden blush and the cheekbones are highlighted to perfection. A taupe shade of eyeshadow was blended into the eyes and the lips were given a coat of peachy bronze lipstick.
Key Makeup Artist: Dick Page for Sheiseido
.
There is never dull look for makeup at a Jeremy Scott show! This season, models were given extremely exaggerated double liner. The liner started about an inch from the lash lines, and was brought up into the winged, cat eye shape. The cheeks were heavily contoured and the lips were painted a rusty nude.
Key Makeup Artist: Val Garland for MAC
New York Fashion Week Makeup A/W 2010 Day 5
New York Fashion Week Fall 2010
Day 5
The cat eyes seen at the Jill Stuart runway show were gorgeous! The eyes are rimmed top to bottom, and winged out into perfect points. The cheeks are swept with a peach blush, and the lips are a peachy/nude.
Key Makeup Artist: Charlotte Tilbury
.
I feel like we’ve seen this look about 1,000 times this season! It’s ok though because I still love it. The bright red lip pops against a clean face at Monique Lhuillier. The models appear to be wearing just a wash of gold eyeshadow on their eyelids.
Key Makeup Artist: Val Garland for MAC
.
SUPER smokey eyes at the Diane Von Furstenberg show! The eyeshadow was jet black with hints of a steel blue layered in. Since the eyes are so powerful, the rest of the face was kept nude and the lips were erased with MAC’s Pro Lip Erase.
Key Makeup Artist: James Kaliardos for MAC
.
The model’s walking in the Donna Karen show were given glossy red lips. The cupid’s bow was brought into a sharp point, much like last year’s trend (here). A wash of grey eyeshadow was brought up into the browbone and topped off with a balm to make the eyelids glossy.
Key Makeup Artist: Charlotte Tilbury
.
I love to unique twist to Zac Posen’s smokey eyes! Eyeliner was applied in horizontal lines, starting at the crease and ending below the lower eyelid.
Key Makeup Artist: Stephane Marias for MAC
New York Fashion Week Makeup A/W 2010- Day 4
New York Fashion Week Fall 2010
Day 4
I LOVE the fact the the standout feature on Thakoon’s models are their cheeks and brows! It’s a welcomed change, especially since lips seem to be taking the spotlight this season. Makeup artist’s used Douceur Blush by NARS (not yet released). The eyes were sparkly but in a natural “I just got 24 straight hours of sleep” sort of way.
Key Makeup Artist: Diane Kendall for NARS
.
Herve Leger’s models were given gorgeous chiseled, orange-red lips. The rest of the face was kept very natural, except for a touch of mascara and liner to subtly define the eyes. Even the eyebrows were bleached to ensure that the the lips remain center of attention.
Key Makeup Artist: Lisa Butler for MAC
.
This is not the first time we’ve seen the deep burgundy lips that walked the runway at the Luca Luca show. This seems to be a popular color this season! Nevertheless, it looks amazing. Aside from the lips, the models cheeks were given a lot of contour and a touch of highlight.
Key Makeup Artist: James Kaliardos for MAC
.
The makeup at the Rebecca Taylor show was pretty simple, but very chic. Black eyeshadow was painted on the eyelid and extended a tiny bit past the outer corner of the eye. In a unique twist, the liner is smudged on the inner corner of the eyes, and stops 1/3 of the way out. The lips were completely nude.
Key Makeup Artist: Rie Omoto for MAC

New York Fashion Week Fall 2010
Day 3
Love this makeup!! The models walking in the Prabal Gurung show were given chiseled, fire engine red lips. Eyes and cheeks were kept nude to let the lips be the focal point. The cheekbones were contoured and the eyebrows were shaped, but not overpowering.
.
Sepia colored cat eyes were seen on the Adam runway yesterday. The eye is strong but but still very soft as the shadow wings out, up toward the eyebrows! The top and bottom lids are swept with the same colored eyeshadow. The cheeks are given a bit of color with a peachy brown blush.
Key Makeup Artist: Romy Soleimani for MAC
.
The reddish sepia/rust colored shadow seen at the Alexander Wang show has been a popular color this season! Makeup artists rimmed the entire eye with the shadow and topped it off with a balm or a gloss to make it look wet. It looks as if they may have skipped foundation and lipstick entirely!
Key Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal for MAC
.
Twinkle By Wenlan’s models were sporting a very clean but modern smokey eye. Upper and lower lashes were rimmed with a black eyeliner and the eyeshadow was was a glossy black. The model’s temples and the hollows of their cheeks were bronzed and the lips were erased with MAC’s Pro Lip Erase.
Key Makeup Artist: Gianpaolo Ceciliato for MAC
.
The look for Georges Chakra’s show was very similar to Prabal Gurug’s. The whole face is very bare, including the minimized eyebrows. The brows are not fully bleached, but it looks like they are covered with concealer. The deep crimson lips are the center of attention for this look, and rightly so!
