New Fashion Week Fall 2009 recap by MAC Cosmetics: Fashion Designer: Top Pecheux. MAC Lead Makeup Artist: Catherine Malandrino.

“A modern interpretation of the optical efects of Man Ray.” Tom Pecheux.

Eyes: Vex and Scene eye shadows – blended over eyelids, up past the crease of the lids and along the lower lashline to create a gray wash on the eyes. Print eye shadow – gently applied over gray shadow to ad a blue tint. Blacktrack Fluidline – lining the top lashline and slightly extended past the outer corner of the eyes. Another thin black line was created by folowing the arch of the brow bone above the crease of the lid, and another folowing the lower lashline under the eyes.

NARS Cosmetics was backstage creating the makeup look for Phillip Lim’s Autumn/Winter 2009 show.

SHOW: Phillip Lim. LEAD ARTIST: Ayako, International Makeup Director, NARS Cosmetics. TREND: Wispy lashes, translucent matte skin.

Inspiration: The Fall 2009 collection took inspiration from the mythical spirit of rock and roll, while the hair and makeup was created to emulate Tao Okamoto’s look, a Japanese model in Phillip Lim’s Fall 2009 collection. Fused together, Phillip wanted the makeup look to mirror Tao’s mod style with a touch of rock n’ roll. With this in mind, Ayako created a look centered around “poetic mod-rock.”

Look: False lashes were placed on the outer half of the bottom lash line and was the central focus of the look. For an exaggerated effect, matte charcoal shadow was used with a wet eyeliner brush to draw lashes beneath, as if to create a shadow effect. “This is the poetic part of the look,” said Ayako. As a complement to the wispy lashes, shimmering pink and gold shadows covered the lids, while the lips were muted with concealer. Skin was made flawless with the newly formulated sheer matte foundation (NEW for Fall 2009) to counteract the sleepy look of the lengthy bottom lashes. Atop the matte skin, a gentle sweep of shimmer was added to cheekbones to catch the light.

Below is a step-by-step to recreate the look:

New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 report: The Stila Pro Artistry Team, lead by legendary makeup artist, Charlotte Tilbury, brought the looks to life at the Barbie Fashion Show on Saturday, February 14th.

Stila created three distinct makeup styles inspired by Barbie’s reinventions over the last 50 years as an icon.

Guests at the Chris Benz show Monday night got a sneak peek at Lancome’s Fall 2009 color collection, Declaring Indigo. It was the perfect place for the debut, as Chris unveiled a palette even livelier than that giant box of crayons you lusted after as a child. Dresses, jackets, pants, skirts and more in shades of tangerine, royal blue, lime green, electric yellow and fire engine red were the ideal foil for Daniel Martin’s gorgeous makeup. Not to mention Lancome’s three limited-edition fall nail polishes-Indigo Paris (bright blue), Golden Audacity (opaque gold) and Rouge Liberty (the perfect red). This lively Le Vernis trio is destined to be a fall must-have.
