New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 Day 8
J Mendel
Key makeup artist, Bobbi Brown, created the look for the J Mendel runway show. Clean, flawless skin and lots of mascara, topped off with bright orange lips!
Isaac Mizrahi
I love the raspberry pinkish-red glossy lips at Issac Mizrahi earlier today. The color is gorgeous! Makeup artists gave the skin luminous and healthy finish while keeping the eyebrows natural. A touch of black liner was applied to the upper lashline, along with several coats of mascara.
Davidelfin
I love the look at Davidelfin! The focus was obviously placed on the eyes, as makeup artists applied black eyeshadow to the model’s eyelids. Heavy, black liner was applied to both upper and lower lashlines, and smudged out along the bottom. The skin was made matte and the lips were erased.
Calvin Klein
Fresh, chic and completely wearable describes the makeup at Calvin Klein Spring 2011 show today! The eyes were given definition by adding a thin line of black eyeliner on the upper lashline, along with tons of mascara. Soft pink blush was applied to the apples of the cheeks, and a pretty pink lip finished off the look.
L.A.M.B
The models walking in the L.A.M.B show probably wore more makeup than all of the other shows this season combined! Golden yellow eyeshadow was applied to the eyelid, and a coppery bronze was blended above it, through the crease and outward past the natural eye folds. Black eyeliner was applied to the lower lashline, and also extended out past the eye in a cat-eye type fashion. The cheeks were contoured with a peach blush and the lips were either painted a deep red, or glossy pink.
Oscar de la Renta
I am usually not the biggest fan of blue eyeshadow, but I love how classy it looked today at Oscar de la Renta! The deep, smokey blue applied and blended out along the upper eyelid is beautiful! Cheeks were given a hint of peach blush, and lips were kept very nude.

Nanette Lepore
Models walking in the Nanette Lepore runway were given shimmery bronze eyeshadow, that slightly extended out past the eye. The cheeks were contoured, brows were kept natural, and lips were coated with a raspberry, pinkish red gloss.
Key Makeup Artist: 
James Kaliardos for MAC
Anna Sui
The natural, boho theme of Anna Sui’s runway influenced the neutral peach and brown color palette used in the makeup look created by Pat McGrath. The cheeks were made to look flushed with a pretty peach blush, and the lips were kept natural looking, with a hint of peach balm. Brown shadow was blended onto the eyelid, and gold glitter was applied to the inner V of the eye.
Key Makeup Artist: Pat McGrath for Covergirl
Douglas Hannant
The look at Douglas Hannant revolved around the blue eyeshadow applied to the outer V of the model’s eyes. The color also made it’s way underneath the eye, and along the outer, lower lashline. White eyeshadow was applied to the inner corners of the eyes, and a soft coral lipstick was applied to the lips.
Gottex
A sexy, matte brown, slightly smokey eye was applied to the model’s walking in the Gottex runway yesteday. Eyelashes were defined with several coats of mascara, and a glossy, coral lip finished off the look.
Jeremy Scott
The look seen yesterday at the Jeremy Scott show was reminiscent of a cracked out, Marilyn Monroe. Black, liquid liner was applied in a think line, which extended out into a winged, cat-eye. The liner was also applied to the inner V of the eye. New eyebrows were drawn on to look thin, and sparse; and the models were all given a trademark, Marilyn mole. Last but not least, lips were made a perfectly crisp, orange-red.
Michael Kors
I love that the cheeks are the focal point of the makeup on Michael Kor’s Spring 2011 runway! A peachy pink blush was applied to the model’s cheeks, and nose, making them look like they’ve spent the past several hours in the sun. The eyes were slightly defined with a neutral brown, and lips were kept nude and natural.
Key Makeup Artist: Dick Page for Shiseido
Milly by Michelle Smith
Even more orange lips were spotted on the Milly by Michelle Smith’s runway! The bright orange,velvety lips, along with flushed, peach cheeks made up the majority of this look. Eyes were kept pretty clean, except for several coats of mascara for definition.
Key Makeup Artist: Romy Soleimani for MAC
NYFW Spring 2011 Day 6
Badgley Mischka
Models walking in the Badgley Mischka show were given silver metallic eyes, and MAC’s soon to be released, So Vain Kissable lipcolor, was used on the lips. This color has been quite popular this season, appearing in shows such as Peter Som, Ruffian and Editions by Georges Chakra! Makeup artists also applied this season’s popular, “C” shaped blush from the model’s temples and to their cheeks.
Key Makeup Artist: Tom Pecheux for MAC
Vera Wang
Clean and natural makeup was the choice for Vera Wang’s Spring 2011 show. The eyebrows were the focus of the look as they were filled in to look very full and straight. A pearly white shadow was applied to the upper eyelids for some sheen, and the lips were made a very nude beige.
Key Makeup Artist: Lucia Pieroni for Cle de Peau
Rosa Cha
Model’s walking in the Rosa Cha show were given a very colorful eye, while the rest of the face was simply evened out with foundation. Bright, sky blue eyeliner was applied to the inner V of the eye and orange eyeshadow was blended out to the hairline.
Rodarte
Rodarte’s makeup color palette did not stray from gold! White eyeliner was applied to the inner rim of the eye, while lips, eyelashes and eyeshadow were all coated in pure gold.
Rachel Roy
At the Rachel Roy presentation, models were given super thick, black eyeliner and tons of mascara. The skin was made very shimmery and glowy and the lips were kept nude.
Key Makeup Artist: Bobbi Brown
Herve Leger Max Azria
I love the glossy skin at the Herve Leger show! The skin was evened out, a touch of blush was applied, and that’s about it! Minimal, yet very chic.
Key Makeup Artist: Lisa Butler for Temptu
Dennis Basso
I love the brightly colored lids at Dennis Basso! Model’s were given either orange or blue liner, extended out into a cat-eye shape. Black liner was applied to the lower lashline along with several coats of mascara. The lips were made a glossy nude.
Toni Francesc
The look at Toni Francec was all about the eyes! Bright, canary yellow shadow was applied to the inner corner of the eye and onto the browbone. Silvery grey and black shadows were applied to the outer corners of the eye. Eyelashes were heavily coated with black mascara, while the cheeks and lips were made a healthy shade of peach.
Narciso Rodriguez
Similar to the look at Carolina Herrera, model’s walking the Narciso Rodriguez runway were given coral red eyeshadow on their eyelids as well along their lower lashline. A natural blush was lightly applied to the cheeks and lips were made a soft, pink nude.
Key Makeup Artist: Dick Page
Marc By Marc Jacobs
Orange is definitely the go-to color of the season! More orange lips were spotted at Marc by Marc Jacobs and these ones are bright! Black eyeliner was smudged to the upper lashline and the lids were given a glossy, wet finish to counteract the matte lip.
Key Makeup Artist: Dick Page for Shiseido

Alexandra starred in the movie Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and also has a movie coming out early next year alongside Owen Wilson and Christina Applegate. Check out some of the red (white!) carpet pics of the night!
