NYFW Spring 2012 – Day 3

By Behind The Scenes Makeup @BTSMakeup

Alexander Wang

At Alexander Wang, makeup artists lined the model’s eyes with black liner and smudged it out for a edgier, “raw” feel. Everything else was kept natural.

Helmut Lang

 

The makeup at Helmut Lang was soft but defined at the same time. The eyebrows were stenciled on using Temptu’s AIR pod brows.

Honor

At the Honor show, makeup artist’s created a flawless complexion and then focused on building up thick, clumpy lashes. NARS Larger than Life Volumizing and Lengthening mascara was used and to get the look at home (not sure why you’d want to ?) key makeup artist James Boehmer suggests, “when you think you’ve got enough mascara, add two more coats.”

Jill Stuart

Diane Kendal created such a pretty, wearable look for Jill Stuart. The model’s eyes were rimmed with black liner and the lips were stained with pink and orange.

Monique Lhuillier

 

At Monique Lhuillier, models were given royal blue winged liner (MAC’s Ultra Chromacake liner) that extended out past the eye and then back inward, tracing the crease.

Prabal Gurung

  

I love how this lip looks on the runway!! Charlotte Tilbury and his team created an “orchid” lip with five different colors, starting with black on the very inside, and radiating out to fuschia. The cheeks were contoured and the skin was dewey.

Ruffian

 

At Ruffian, models were given a super sharp, winged cat-eye and loads of lashes. The skin was perfected and matte, and peach blush was blended into the hollows of the cheeks. Gorgeous!
