How to get the fall flush- From beauty counter blog: Beauty Insider

While we typically associate blush with Spring—when an onslaught of rosy pigments tend to hit shelves to help the pale masses ease their way out of winter and into the summer sun—the great cheek accentuator is making an uncharacteristic splash for Fall. As one of the trends we’ve noticed backstage this season, blush has come in a whole range of shades and, perhaps more interestingly, placements, providing an updated take on an age-old staple.

Most recently, models sported “a gorgeous rosy cheek” at Versace, where Pat McGrath finger blended Olay’s Simply Ageless moisture-rich formula from the apples of models’ cheeks toward their temples, only a day after making it the star product backstage at Prada. There, in accordance with Mrs. Prada’s “innocent glamor” directive, McGrath placed the rosy pigment on cheeks, lids and lips for a uniform flush.

Before the fashion pack headed across the pond, rouge went rogue on countless occasions in New York, too. At Marc Jacobs, François Nars dabbed his Cream Blush in Lokoune low and haphazardly to resemble “a grandmother who’s a bit eccentric.” The placement wasn’t all that dissimilar to Tom Pecheux’s at Ralph Lauren where the face painter intentionally went low to “get rid of the sporty look. This keeps it from being too girly,” he said of the layers of MAC Cosmetics blush in Fleur Power, a bright pink, and Esée Lauder Silky Powder Blush in Radiant Peach, a warm apricot, that he blended just above the outer corners of the mouth before painting on a bright red pout.


Perhaps our favorite flush thus far came at the hands of Gucci Westman. “I wanted you to really feel it-like it’s authentic,” the Revlon global artistic director said at Oscar de la Renta where she swirled the brand’s ColorBurst Lipsticks in Fuchsia and Candy Pink in a “big apple” on models’ cheeks. The best part? Her inspiration: Westman could not get the image of Björk on the Jean Paul Gaultier runway circa Fall 1994 out of her head when the raven-haired Icelandic beauty rocked a similar look. Love.

“Sick Smirks” Backstage At Antonio Marras
February 26, 2011 3:14 pm

Antonio Marras’ fascination with proportions and recycled fabrics inspired the twisted forties makeup that made a lasting impression at his show yesterday. With the collection taking its cues from the designer’s mother in the late 1940’s, a giant mood board featuring Mama Marras in her prime was erected backstage, complete with collage cutouts of lips and eyes, which were taped on top of the images’ own features. It was a bizarre and slightly jarring sight, which wasn’t lost on makeup artist Lisa Butler, who chose to focus her energy on re-creating a similarly disproportionate, enlarged mouth. “I didn’t want to get stuck in the forties with the makeup so I immediately avoided plum shades. I took a classic shade and twisted it,” she said. She constructed a two-toned pout by painting a slick of MAC Lipstick in Runaway Red—a matte crimson due out for fall—on both top and bottom lips and adding a coat of its Lip Pencil in Genuine Orange on the bottom only. The tonal experiment also had an off-kilter shape. “It’s got a joker element,” Butler pointed out with pride. “We’ve tipped up the corners of the lips, which gives an impression of a sick smirk, almost like we’ve drawn on a smile—it’s just a bit weird!” And how. But in a season that has offered up more straightforward red lipstick applications than we have room to mention here, weird is where it’s at.

Made In The Shade(S), Backstage At Moschino
February 25, 2011 8:24 pm

Moschino’s Fall runway may have had all the quirky twists you’d expect to see from the Italian fashion house (Coco Rocha sported a chicken hat, after all) but behind the scenes there was a well thought-out tribute to retro glamour, with nods to “high society, Mr. [Irving] Penn, and fifties makeup,” famed face painter Tom Pecheux revealed backstage. This meant yet another graphic eye sighting in Milan, but this one had a clever twist. “We stole the shape of this dark eye from the sunglasses in the collection, so it looks like every girl is wearing them on the catwalk whether she is or not,” Pecheux said as he layered MAC Single Matte eye shadow in Carbon on top of a base of its Technakohl liner in Graphblack drawn to resemble an elongated ovoid shape. To correspond with the collection’s masculine attitude, which was helped along by the appearance of a few German-style military caps, Pecheux applied a blend of MAC powder blush in Pink Swoon and Well Dressed in what he described as a “boyish” way, so low underneath the cheek bones to avoid “a pretty look.” Lips were erased with concealer to finish the face and to keep the focus on the eyes.
Hairstylist Odile Gilbert rolled models’ tresses into tight and tall conical French twists to mirror the exaggerated and elongated lids. “It’s a super-classic French twist that’s tight on the sides,” Gilbert disclosed while coating strands with Elnett hairspray, backcombing for height and texture, and pinning to secure.

Sass & Bide and Shu Uemura at London Fashion week




Australian label Sass & Bide dazzled boldly at the opening night of the London Fashion week with tribal prints, splashes of bold colours and silk drapery.


But it wasn’t just the collection that created a buzz, the night’s beauty trend complimented the clothes but made a statement with its own bold yet minimalist look.


The free spirited look was created by Shu Uemura who were inspired by a carefree-girl with a “happy go lucky approach to life“.

International Creative Director, Kakuyasu Ucheiide said: “I wanted to create a fresh, natural but striking look which enhanced the collection and did not distract away from the clothes”.


The rocker girl look can be achieved by applying shimmer liquid liner under the lower lashes, heavy-duty mascara and defined brows. The stage performer instant glow gave an illuminated radiance to the skin. A matte lipstick and taupe cream blusher gave a subtle glow to the cheeks and lips. All products except for Taupe Cream Blush or the Shimmer Eyeliner are on counter in Australia right now, they will be coming soon.

An Ode To The Great Midwest, Backstage At Rodarte
February 16, 2011




Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy have a thing for blondes. Their California gold rush collection for Spring necessitated a gaggle of tawny-haired catwalkers, and so, too, did their Days of Heaven-derived Fall offering. “She’s a girl from the country,” hairstylist Odile Gilbert said of the matte-textured manes she was coating with Aveda Air Control hair spray and its Phomollient Styling Foam mousse, which she worked into strands with her hands to get piece-y definition. “The spirit is a field of wheat,” she continued of the mostly flaxen locks she was styling with side parts and “supernatural,” sweeping half-up-half-downs, secured with a thin, loose braid and the occasional gilded fan-shaped hair clip designed by the Mulleavys. “It’s a mess under control,” Gilbert concluded of her handiwork. Discussing the “pastoral beauty” look, makeup artist James Kaliardos said, “It’s the light at dawn and dusk”—those brief moments of the day that photographers often refer to as “the magic hour” for the sun’s lovely glow. Building an eye reminiscent of a “stormy sunset,” Kaliardos glided a pre-mixed blend of MAC Pro Cream Colour Base in Nude and Yellow Scream over models’ lids, adding its gray/lavender Eyeshadow in Crystal through the crease. Brows were diffused ever so slightly with a layer of MAC Eyeshadow in Soba, a nutty beige. To give girls an authentic, straight-off-the farm touch, Kaliardos coated their lashes with MAC Pro Longwear concealer in NC-45 to lighten. Complexions were left pretty bare, save for a dusting of MAC Blush in So Sweet So Easy, a bright pink, that Kaliardos dragged on the top of cheekbones and across the nose ridge before carving out a minimal contour with its Sculpt and Shape powder in Bone Beige. Finishing touches came in the form of a rosy-brown lip painted with MAC Lipstick in Photo and nails lacquered with Deborah Lippmann’s No More Drama. But not every girl got the metallic copper polish. Lindsey Wixson and Karlie Kloss, both born Midwesterners, were treated to ten fingers of Lippmann’s Jessica Rabbit, a red-sequins varnish that she hand-mixed for the show to match the stunning red gowns the two models wore on the runway. So, was it an accurate homage to America’s bread basket? “It’s like glam Kansas,” Wixson offered. “It’s not a thoroughfare for fashion, but it’s home to me.”

Graphic Dominatrix Meets Eccentric Grandma, Backstage At Marc Jacobs
February 15, 2011



Chinstraps. The odd accoutrement appeared for the first time this season backstage at Victoria Beckham and we paid it no mind as a potential recurring fashion-meets-beauty theme for Fall. But there it was again at Marc Jacobs, anchoring small berets set atop sleek ponytails. “Dominatrix ponytails,” Redken creative consultant Guido Palau clarified of the graphic up-dos that were prepped with Redken’s Blown Away 09 Blow Dry Gel, dried, and flat-ironed, before being secured with a hair-wrapped elastic and and a spritz of its forthcoming Shine Flash 02 Glistening Mist. “The chinstraps bring in a forties illustration effect,” Palau said—that almost cartoonish quality in which not one hair is out of place. “It’s the perversion of convention,” he continued of the classic, girl-next-door style that had been given a “severe” makeover for Jacobs’ barrage of rubber and fake fur. With hair removed from models’ faces, makeup maestro François Nars was given free-reign to pronouncedly paint them. “It’s like a grandmother whose a bit eccentric that puts on too much blush and her eyeliner wrong,” Nars quipped of his “droopy” liner job, drawn downward on the top lash line with his new for Fall Larger Than Life Longwear Eyeliner in Via Venetto, a dark black. Models were also given a heavy flush low on the cheeks courtesy of Nars’ Cream Blush in Lokoune, which he finger-blended to resemble the rouge in “old 18th century paintings.” Lids were dusted with the red shade from his forthcoming Eyeshadow Duo in Grand Palais for depth and lashes were treated to multiple slashings of Nars’ Larger Than Life Volumizing mascara to complete a look that he described as “a little decadent and a little bit off.” It was a spot-on beauty mix for a collection that had lace and latex in equal measure.

At Donna Karan, Grace Kelly Plays Beauty Muse (Again)
February 15, 2011



Where had we seen this before, we thought to ourselves when we happened upon Wella global creative director Eugene Souleiman’s voluminous donut-shaped chignons at Donna Karan? “I’ve seen this shape before,” Souleiman concurred, “but I’ve never seen it with this texture,” a matte finish he’d created by prepping strands with a mix of Wella’s Ocean Spritz and its Wet Perfect Setting blow-dry lotion. “It gives a severity while having a subtlety to it,” Soulemain continued of the high ponytails he curled with a two-inch barrel iron before rolling sections toward the base of the updo and pinning them in place. “Grace Kelly with a modern twist,” Charlotte Tilbury offered of the backstage beauty muse of the day. And then it clicked: The hair was a near identical match to the Princess of Monaco-inspired look at Oscar de la Renta’s Spring show. Tilbury’s makeup job, on the other hand, was decidedly different. While Kelly’s icy blonde screen star persona was modernized with green eye shadow last season, Tilbury did her updating with a “marshmallow Pepto pink” pout, courtesy of three different MAC lipsticks in Flesh Pot, See Sheer, and Up the Amp—a color that was reinforced on nails with two coats of Deborah Lippmann’s creamy Valentine’s Day-appropriate Shape of My Heart. Skin was treated to a “Hollywood glow” from a mix of MAC’s Face and Body Foundation and its Strobe Cream, which Tilbury added for a luminous finish before building in shimmering contours with its Cream Colour Base in Hush. As for the eyes, they were coated with a wash of MAC’s Cream Colour Base in Mid-Tone Sepia, a tarnished beige color, and topped off with a slick of MAC Pro Gloss Texture for added glisten. A touch of chocolaty brown mascara applied to the roots of lashes and brows that were taken down ever so slightly with concealer completed Karan’s new age debutantes.

Carolina On The Mind: A Herrera Beauty How-To
February 15, 2011




“Classic Carolina” is how Herrera’s glam squad described its inspiration at the designer’s Fall show. For makeup artist Diane Kendal, that meant timeless beauty. All the quintessential elements were there: defined eyes courtesy of a precise etching of black cream eyeliner drawn close to the lash line and slightly flicked out; a romantic pink cheek blended into models’ skin with MAC’s forthcoming Blush in Angel; and lips painted a sweet shade of sheer rosy-brown with a slick of its Lipstick in Prince Noir. Full brows and a wash of clear gloss on lids added that extra bit of runway glamour. Hair was similarly demure, thanks to coiffing star Orlando Pita, who prepped strands with MoroccanOil’s Styling Cream before applying heat and creating a soft side part. For his next rick, Pita gathered tresses into a low ponytail, which he tucked into itself and then pinned to secure. “It’s boyish in front,” he said of the style, which was deliberately pulled off models’ necks to showcase an abundance of collars in the collection. “I want it to look neat,” Pita added. Herrera seems to be slowly edging into slightly edgier territory, though. For only the second time in her career, the designer requested dark nails—two thin coats of CND’s Dark Ruby, to be precise. But the point was to help bring an even more “luxurious, expensive” feel to the clothes, not to go goth. Don’t get it twisted.

Karlie Kloss Talks Lacquer Love
February 15, 2011




Karlie Kloss is probably best known for those brow-tastic Marc Jacobs campaigns and her impressive stature. At 5′ 11″, the Midwesterner towers over many of her cohorts, kicking her long legs out in front of her body for one of the most mind-boggling walks in the biz. Believe it or not, Kloss is also one hell of a good hand model. “I love nail polish,” Kloss revealed to us backstage at Donna Karan yesterday, where we snapped her in Deborah Lippmann’s Shape of My Heart, an opaque pastel pink lacquer, only a few short hours after she was spotted showcasing CND’s Dark Ruby at Carolina Herrera. “I love a bright red,” she said of her color of choice—”like an obnoxiously bright red. It’s like red lipstick; no matter what you’re wearing it makes you feel like Jerry Hall!” Kloss’ crimson wishes came true this morning at Rodarte’s prairie girls-inspired show, where Lippmann made a repeat appearance toting Jessica Rabbit, a scarlet sequins varnish that only Kloss and Kansas-born Lindsey Wixson were treated to. When we asked Kloss about her thoughts on nails’ newfound importance on the runway, she gushed. “It’s genius. It makes so much more of a statement than plain polish.” Her favorite ten-piece statement so far? CND’s deep bordeaux manis with extended gold smile lines at Jason Wu. “I saved them!”

Eyes Like African Sunsets, Backstage At Thakoon
February 14, 2011




There was so much going on backstage at Thakoon, it’s hard to know where to begin. That’s what happens when you combine influences as far-flung as Marie Antoinette and the Masai. But we appreciated the overstimulation in a season that has, thus far, featured fairly tame hair and makeup. “It’s like knitting,” coiffing star Odile Gilbert said as she wove sections of the models’ hair over “wool materials” that had been taken directly from the collection. Prepping tresses with Kérastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique, Gilbert dried hair, slathering it with Kérastase Chroma Riche Fluide for shine before beginning a mixed-medium layering process that resulted in a basketweave beehive of chunky knits. A halo of Kérastase Double Force Controle Ultime Hairspray kept everything in place, as models made their way over to fashion’s favorite colorist, Laurie Foley, who was busy bleaching brows. “I’m here to make them go away,” she said of models’ disappearing arches. “I’m not necessarily a proponent,” she opined of the lightening process, “but it’s a show thing, and a showoff thing. It lets them show off.” The them in question being Gilbert and makeup artist Diane Kendal. And show off Kendal did, with a bright palette of orange, pink, and red eye shadows. “I thought about African sunsets,” Kendal explained, coating lids in NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl, a sheer red, to hold a mélange of NARS Eyeshadows in place, including Taj Mahal (a bright tangerine), Desire (a hot fuchsia), and Exhibit A (an electric cerise). Kendal laid off lashes and lips to keep the focus on the eye. “It’s fun,” she said of the finished look. And how.

Bare-Bones Glitz Backstage At DVF
February 14, 2011




Diane von Furstenberg named her Fall collection American Legends, which made makeup artist James Kaliardos think of glamorous fashion icons like Diana Vreeland and Gloria Vanderbilt. “It’s the kind of woman who always looks super put-together,” Kaliardos explained, but by eschewing foundation backstage, he was out to bring an accessible simplicity to the equation. “It’s like, Speed the plow. We’ve got to get the look on and get to the Met ball.” And what’s the easiest way to get “bare-bones” beauty that still packs some requisite glitz? Slap on a red lip and a subtle smoky eye, of course. Using MAC Cosmetics Keep Your Cool eye shadow—a metallic black pigment—Kaliardos dusted just the outer corners of models’ lids, adding a slightly elongated flick before curling lashes and coating them with mascara. He then turned his attention to brows, which were amply filled in, followed by lips that he lined in MAC’s Lip Pencil in Cherry and topped off with its forthcoming Lipstick in Runaway Red. Et voilà, super-iconic makeup made easy with an effortless, Orlando Pita-styled ponytail thrown in for good measure. Before models headed out onto the runway, Kaliardos had words with us about Fall’s ongoing bleached vs. full brows debate. “Kevyn [Aucoin] bleached everyone’s brows—and it’s a great look. But I think women look more intelligent and powerful with a brow. And that’s my thing. Brows make you look like a predator.” Grrrr.

MAKE UP NOT WAR- ELLIS FAAS & War Child - www.warchild.org.

MAKE UP NOT WAR
and help us to help War Child
Ever since the first ELLIS FAAS products were released, people have been telling us ‘It is such a shame to throw away your beautiful pens once they’re empty.’ Therefore, we have come up with a programme ‘Make Up Not War’ that gives a second life to our pens, unburdens the environment, and last but certainly not least, because it gives us a chance to raise money for a terribly good cause: War Child - www.warchild.org.
We
MAKE UP NOT WAR
and help us to help War Child
We have set up a system to get back as many used pens as possible. Visual artists (locally and internationally well-known sculptors, fashion designers, photographers, industrial designers…) will then be asked to create a unique work of art using the pens. These works will be exhibited and then auctioned off. The proceeds will go directly to War Child. So please help us to help War Child, by returning your used pens. Details can be found on ELLISFAAS.com.
WAR CHILD
In the vision of War Child sound psychosocial conditions for children and youth are prerequisite to being able to create a peaceful society. When children grow up in a safe, stable environment where their rights are not violated, the chances are that they will grow into well-balanced grown-ups. As such they will be able to avoid or resolve conflict situations in the future. Therefore the aid of War Child is aimed at improving the psychosocial wellbeing of children, to bring together groups of children separated by war and to draw attention to problems, needs and rights of children in war-affected areas.
War Child’s goal is the empowerment of children in and from war-affected areas, by means of:
- Psychosocial programmes using creative arts and sports to strengthen the psychological and social development and wellbeing of children;
- Creative arts and sports programmes aimed at uniting children driven apart by war, in order to contribute to a peaceful society;
- Creating public awareness of and generating support for the plight of children in war zones.
For further information, please contact: Thijs Faas - thijs@ELLISFAAS.com

I found this absolute gem of a book (which I believe is now out of print) and I wanted to share and possibly brag about it a little with all you make up & fashion connoisseurs. He was the inspiration behind so many of today's world renowned make up artists. His first book was published in 1977, titled Designing Your Face and then followed by Styling Your Face in 1981. Then Vogue Fashion Editor Polly Allen Mellen called him "the most talented make-up artist in the world". In her foreword to this book she describes working with Bandy a constant learning experience as she observed him perform his craft with passion, quality and perfection. He never veered from wanting to transform a face into the most beautiful face ever, concentrating on, studying and experimenting with the stages of change a face undergoes.

The book is divided into fifteen chapters, each chapter is devoted to one facial design, eleven for women and the rest for men. The chapters include The Natural Face, The Glamorous Face (above) The Fantasy Face, The Great American Face, The Evening Face and The Exotic Face.
Here's a slight variation to the way most of us (if not all) apply foundaton: he suggests applying to a cleansed and moisturized face 3 drops of liquid foundation plus two drops of distilled water. Mix in the palm of your hand and massage into the skin with your fingertips, blending downward onto the neck.
Here's a bit of shading advice: With the fingertip place a dot of grey-brown shading cream underneath the bottom edge of the cheekbone directly below the highest frontal point of that cheekbone- usually directly downward from the outside corner of the eye. Touch and press the grey-brown dot backwards underneath the cheekbone to the ear. Make sure there are no lines of demarcation or edges visible when the blending is complete.
And voila' you now have Marlene Dietrich style cheekbones!!

Laura Mercier- Silk Road Spring 2011 Look

I love the Laura Mercier make up brand- I've used it on so many shoots and it never fails to perform and impress. I think their 'how to' step by step make up application techniques are a great way of trying these looks at home.

Intensify your look by adding black violet kohl eye pencil along the top & bottom lids.
apply liquid eyeliner in gold thread along the lashline
Follow with full blown volume lash building mascara in black

Persian rose cheek colour on the apples of the cheeks
Use potpourri lip pencil then apply pink jewel stickgloss on top

Have fun!

Love At First Light- Big Magazine- Images by Warren du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones




I loved the creative freedom and free rein I was given on this story, it worked so well with the bold & beautiful styling and the amazing headpieces that hair stylist Dejan Cekanovic created for the shoot.
I used Stephane Marais foundation on the skin (pity its no longer available) the texture was light & creamy, it looked fantastic under natural light and to the naked eye but also performed incredibly well under the camera lights. 

  


'Chiaroscuro'- Caravaggio for Riders Moda Magazine

This image was also part of the 'Caravaggio' story I worked on with Mike Diver for Riders Moda Magazine. I absolutely love this portrait, it is beautiful and timeless.
I applied layers of Mac face & body foundation on the models' faces in order to deepen their skin tone but still retain an element of the skin's natural transparency & sheen.
