At Alexander Wang, key makeup artist, Diane Kendal, stressed that the look was all about finding the balance between sexy and androgynous. She contoured the girl’s faces with MAC’s sculpting cream and filled in the brows giving them a more square-like shape.

I LOVE the skin at Carolina Herrera!! Perfection! A thin black line was drawn on the top lid, and mascara was skipped all together.

At Derek Lam, black mascara was applied to the top lashes and brown mascara was applied to the bottom lashes. Lower lashes were drawn underneath the eye, which I love!! Brown shadow was swept across the eyelid, while Estee Lauder’s Pure Color lipsticks in Crystal Pink and Vanilla Truffle were applied to the lips.

MAC’s Pro Longwear Eyeshadow in Lingering Softly was applied to the lids and gray liner was drawn tightly on the waterline. Lashes were coated with black mascara and the lips were filled in with a dusty rose lip pencil.

The models at J. Mendel looked fresh and effortless. Neutral shadow was swept across the lids and the brows were filled in. Highlighter applied to the cheekbones, nose and cupid’s bow gave the illusion of glowing skin. The lips were patted with the blush used on the model’s cheekbones.
