I LOVE the fact the the standout feature on Thakoon’s models are their cheeks and brows! It’s a welcomed change, especially since lips seem to be taking the spotlight this season. Makeup artist’s used Douceur Blush by NARS (not yet released). The eyes were sparkly but in a natural “I just got 24 straight hours of sleep” sort of way.

Herve Leger’s models were givenĀ gorgeous chiseled, orange-red lips. The rest of the face was kept very natural, except for a touch of mascara and liner to subtly define the eyes. Even the eyebrows were bleached to ensure that the the lips remain center of attention.

This is not the first time we’ve seen the deep burgundy lips that walked the runway at the Luca Luca show. This seems to be a popular color this season! Nevertheless, it looks amazing. Aside from the lips, the models cheeks were given a lot of contour and a touch of highlight.

The makeup at the Rebecca Taylor show was pretty simple, but very chic. Black eyeshadow was painted on the eyelid and extended a tiny bit past the outer corner of the eye. In a unique twist, the liner is smudged on the inner corner of the eyes, and stops 1/3 of the way out. The lips were completely nude.

Day 1

Gwen Stefani presented her L.A.M.B Fall 2010 collection yesterday. Her models wore a jet black smokey eye extended out into an extreme cat eye shape. The lips were a mix of crimson and burgundy lip color from MAC, with an overdrawn cupid’s bow, reminiscent of the 1920′s.

I am loving the florescent orange-red lips on Richard Chai runway!! The rest of the face was kept impeccably clean. Many of the models had their brows bleached, making the entire eye area practically disappear. It was all about the lips.
Key Makeup: Gucci Westman for Revlon

The models walking in the Ports 1961 show wore a neutral/muted look on their whole face. The eyes were lightly accentuated with bronze shadow, and the lips were given a touch of peach lipstick. Even the eyebrows were softened and made blonde.

The Vena Cava show was full of sun-kissed skin and bright red lips. The foreheads and cheeks were heavily bronzed, while the rest of the eye was kept pretty bare. Several coats of Pro Lash Mascara by MAC were applied, and the lips were filled in with MAC’s Red Lipmix.
Key Makeup Artist: Lloyd for MAC Cosmetics

The models walking for Cushnie et de Ochs were given a really pretty and unique red, smokey eye. White eyeliner was applied to the lower waterline, while the lips were kept nude. The skin was made dewey by mixing MAC’s Strobe Cream into the foundation.
