WOW! Today the designers upped the ante! Never have I known a Tuesday to be so exciting! And there to be so many different definitions of Spring!
The girls at Vera Wang were given an unstructured, somewhat messy hair-do with dominant brows to compliment the beautifully romantic clothes. The makeup look was so clean and pretty with only a touch of mascara and some darker brows drawn on. As the brows are quite full and smooth (ie not angular nor rounded) it gives the face a really womanly feel. It’s so easy to do, just get a brow pencil in a shade darker than your hair or a powder in a shade darker and use an angle brush (MAC #236) to apply the colour and play! It really is quite amazing what different brow shapes do for your face!
Marc Jacobs is at it again! Yesterday he showed his signature line and today it’s his younger, less expensive line, Marc by Marc Jacobs. I love it! It’s so much fun and a great take on Spring.
The makeup is so perfectly youthful. A quick dusting of pink on the cheeks (a great one for this look would be Desire by Nars – so very pink pink pink!) and raspberry lips in a cute and quirky shape. Get the shape by drawing on and colouring in lips with a pencil (focus on creating a dramatic cupids bow), adding lipstick and using concealer to hide the parts of your lips that arent now raspberry!
And Rodarte. *ahhhh* I always sigh a thousand sighs over their collections. The Mulleavy sisters’ collections are always so fantastical and otherworldly. It excites me so much! I just read on Style.com that they studied Art History too… I guess there’s still hope for me to become an amazing designer too! haha!
I love how their shows are always so visually stimulating and detailed. From the black grit on the runway and the dry ice, to the netting over the messy hair and the body armour (art), it all really brings the clothing to life.
The makeup is not the most transferable to reality, but who cares! Just observe and enjoy!
