Designer: Nanette Lapore | Artist: Polly Osmond
The clothes: lots of color (some bright, some deep), lots of prints (leopard included), texture (sequins as a start) and uneven hemlines. There was a lot going on in the Nanette Lapore collection... and the makeup is complementary without being too crazy.
I like the use of a Brassy Fluidline on the eye. It's a great way to modify the traditional smoky eye and still keep things surprising, especially when topped with a gorgeous Pigment like Rose Gold! Appropriately, skin is kept dewy but not overly made-up with Face & Body Foundation, and I love the bright rosy cheek! I would never have thought to put Brassy Fluidline on top of lipstick, but I like the idea and the way it turned out. Is this something you'd try?
Designer: Doo.Ri | Artist: Tom Pecheux
The clothing in the Doo.Ri collection was quite augmented. Lots of beading, fancy stockings, bits of fur (boo!), necklaces. The makeup, courtesy of Tom Pecheux, was a counterpoint to the embellishments in the collection, though it did have it's bit of shimmer.
Eyes were sparkly, but black and minimal, with a lovely edgy shape. Skin was Studio Sculpt Foundation topped with Prep + Prime Powder (! NEW PRODUCT ALERT ! ), so the skin was fairly natural but on the matte side. Lips were fun, with Black Lipmix put on softly, so it greyed-out. This look reminds me of a black-and-white comic book, doesn't it!?
PS: While I would be a trainwreck of snags in those stockings, I love them!
PPS: Ange, what looks like wings inthe last image are for you.
Designer: Proenza Schouler | Artist: Diane Kendal
I love Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez! I don't love this collection, though. (Sorry!) Half of it is outerwear which I found clunky, making me think of the term "urban lumberjack". The dresses were pretty, except I don't care for the more textured dresses (see 1st pic).
The makeup is interesting... probably the only way to go with all of the different things going on with the clothes. Eyes are brown and smoky, while skin is sheered-out Studio Sculpt Foundation. LIps were rendered a non-issue with Lip Erase in Dim - not completely gone but nearly so.
Lots of pictures, since lots was going on:
