Gucci’s A/W 2011 collection debuted today in Milan and the makeup was gor-geous. Pat McGrath and her team gave the models thick lashes and glossy, burgundy lips with a red center. I’ve been staring at these lips all day!! They have depth.

Spring 2011 Trend: C-Shaped Blush
One of my favorite makeup trends to emerge on the Spring 2011 runways is the “temple to cheek” blush, spotted everywhere from Madrid to Milan. In most cases, makeup artists applied color in a “C” shape from the model’s temples to the apples of their cheeks, and blended well for a seamless transition. Love it!!
At the Moschino show in Milan, models wore orange blush that not only was applied in the C shape, but was also blended onto the eyelids for a monochrome look.
I love the rosy pink blush at Christian Siriano’s show in New York. This is probably my favorite variation of the trend.
Richard Nicoll’s show during Londons Fashion Week featured models wearing an ochre colored blush applied just above the temples, and around onto the cheeks.
Edition by Georges Chakra showed a much more subdued and wearable version of the trend.
Hot pink was the color of choice on Lydia Delgado’s runway in Madrid.
What Do You Think of the C Shaped Blush Trend?
Austrailia Fashion Week – Makeup & Hair Recap
Rosemount Australian Fashion week has ended today but the hair and makeup spotted on the runways over the past few days have been insane! Makeup and Hair artists working the shows were definitely allowed to stretch their creative legs and produce some pretty wild creations! Take a look at the most interesting and avant garde designs of the week!
The Makeup
Anna Boy
Fake freckles were scattered all over the noses and cheeks of the models walking in the Anna Boy runway. They were also given colorful eyeshadows in various colors to emit a springy and young vibe.
Camilla
The Camilla show was very whimsical and fantasy-licious. Models wore all different colors of eye makeup in very dramatic designs.
Aurelio Costarella
A very simple, clean face with splatters of gold and silver along the temples. I love just a touch of drama in a tasteful fashion!
Kirrily Johnston
Spring/Summer 2010′s tribal inspiration (details here) were all over Kirrily Johnston’s runway. Each model wore a different design in a different color.
Bianca Spender
Eyebrows are definitely back (trend alert: full brows here)! Bianca Spender took the full eyebrow trend one step further by having her models wear actual feathers on their eyebrows!
Alice McCall
Somewhat similar to Aurelio+Costarella’s makeup look, Alice McCall’s models also wore a very clean face with colorful accents on the temples.
Ellery
Holy glitter! OMG, I would HATE to be one of the makeup artists working the Ellery show! That kinda glitter never goes away! It’s giving me anxiety just looking at the picture, lol! Black jewels were glued to the hands and the faces were covered in multi-colored glitter..
NEXT….
Romance Was Born
This show was very interesting! None of the makeup or hair corresponded to each other and every model was given a different, avant garde look. Some of the looks were really amazing, while others… well, not so much 
I love the all-black look (above).

New York Fashion Week Makeup A/W 2010 Day 6 + 7
New York Fashion Week Fall 2010
Day 6 and 7
The models walking in Max Azria’s show were given a soft orange lip. Makeup artists dabbed the color onto the center of the lips and lightly blended outward. If you look closely, the out edges of the lips barely have any color on them. The upper eyelid looks to be defined with a thin black liner, and a touch of mascara.
Key Makeup Artist: Charlotte Willer for Maybelline

Kardashians for Bebe models were given a sultry smokey eye yesterday on the runway. The inner corners of the eyes were highlighted with shimmer and the eyeshadow was pulled out past the eye into a cat shape. Looks like a makeup look that Kim would definitely wear!
Key Makeup Artist: Nathalie Bechard for Sephora PRO

At first glance, I thought the makeup at Nanette Lepore’s show simple and very glamorous. Looking a little closer at the lips, I realized that they are actually two toned, making the whole look extra unique with such a simple twist!! The top lip was painted fuchsia, while the bottom lip was made a brick red.
Key Makeup Artist: Makky for MAC

Bleached eyebrows are officially a thing of the past! So many shows have been focusing on a fuller brow this season, including Narciso Rodriguez. Makeup artists filled in the brows making them look extra dark, even on lighter haired models. The rest of the face was left very bare with just a hint of nude lipstick on the lips.
Key Makeup Artist: Dick Page for Shiseido

I love the makeup created for the Michael Kors show!! Very bronzy and warm, despite the fact that it was his Fall showing :) The cheeks were deeply accentuated with a golden blush and the cheekbones are highlighted to perfection. A taupe shade of eyeshadow was blended into the eyes and the lips were given a coat of peachy bronze lipstick.
Key Makeup Artist: Dick Page for Sheiseido

There is never dull look for makeup at a Jeremy Scott show! This season, models were given extremely exaggerated double liner. The liner started about an inch from the lash lines, and was brought up into the winged, cat eye shape. The cheeks were heavily contoured and the lips were painted a rusty nude.
