Backstage with MAC Cosmetics.

/

MAC makeup artists have been running around backstage at New York Fashion Week pretty feverishly. While they have been working hard, they have been nice enough to send me information on the makeup trends we will be seeing next Spring.

One of my favorite looks so far is that from the Luca Luca show, just on the runway yesterday.

mac_luca_1.jpgMAC artist Tom  Pecheu was going for the seventies supermodel look. His inspiration? A young Jerry Hall.

Tom used bright Parrot blue eyeshadow on the eyelids, then covered the creases with a shimmery dark grey to give what he called "true sophistication."

There was an obvious lack of cheek color, which I personally think needed just a quick swipe of a nude pink.

To finish the look, model mouths were dabbed with N3 Lipstick - a putty-ish pink nude. 

The effect? A grown up in the eyes - and a tender young girl in the mouth.

Beautiful, and very wearable!

EROTIC, YES. FEMININE, SURELY. SEXY, NO DOUBT… THIS IS THE BEAUTY, CRAFT AND SUBTLE UNFILTERED SIZZLE OF THE MODERN BOMBSHELL. HER SMOKE SIGNALS: INTENSE BLUE, GREY BROWN AND AUBERGINE SHADOWS WAFTED OVER LIDS, BOUND-TOP AND BOTTOM – BY THE VELVETY SMOKE RINGS OF NEW KOHL POWER EYE PENCIL. THE MATCH THAT IGNITES THIS LOOK: THREE NEW SENSUALLY SHINE-FILLED SHADES OF LIPGLASS. THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE. SHE’S COOL, AND DANGEROUS.
