Wednesday, February 16th, 2011. Fall 2011 NYC Fashion Week. Show: Michael Kors Fall 2011. Makeup by Dick Page, Shiseido Artistic Director. All products from Shiseido Makeup collection.

NSPIRATION/THEME/UNIQUE TIP:

The inspiration for the makeup look was the Fall 2011 Michael Kors Collection, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the designer. The overall makeup look featured easy, pretty makeup that emphasized a strong, well-defined brow.

FACE

Description:

“Clean and natural”

Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation was used to cover any redness and blemishes as needed to even out the models’ complexions

Dick then applied Shiseido Translucent Loose Powder from the mid-cheek to lower jawline only

To have the eye area remain luminous, Dick applied a range of the Shiseido Bronzer from the hollow of the cheek area and diffused toward the jawline (the bronzer shade was dependent on the model’s skin tone)

No concealer was used under the eyes, especially directly under lower lash line

EYES

Description:

“Simple with an emphasis on strong, well-defined brows”

Dick applied Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Sable (BR709) along the upper and lower lash line and blended well to diffuse the color

A trace of Shiseido Accentuating Cream Eyeliner in Brown (#2) was applied by Dick along the upper lash line to give the eye a bit of weight. The liner was blended well into the Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Sable (BR709)

Using a fluff brush, Dick blended color into the eye area to create a halo of color around the eye

A Shiseido Eyelash Curler was used to slightly curl eyelashes

Dick applied Shiseido Perfect Mascara Defining Volume in Black (BK901) to upper lashes only

Since there was an emphasis on a strong eyebrow, Dick used Shiseido Natural Eyebrow Pencil to fill in models’ brows, following their natural shape to give weight to the brow. For models with lighter hair, Dick filled in the brows with the darkest shade in the Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in Voyage (BR209)

For models with medium hair color, Dick applied the darkest shade from Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Strata (BR307) to eyebrows to add definition to the brows

The black shade from Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Fire (OR302) was used to fill in brows for models with dark hair

LIPS

Description:

“Muted, soft lip”

Dick applied a light wash of Shiseido Perfect Rouge in Dune (BE310) to the lip

He then blotted lips with a base sponge containing a bit of Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation to mute the color
