How To Get Catwalk Makeup
By admin • Mar 3rd, 2010London Fashion Week, which took place last month, was the place to be for inspiration on what are likely to be the biggest style trends for the coming seasons.
And one look which particularly stood out from the crowd was that of the three-dimensional makeup artistry which saw catwalk models benefiting from supreme facial contouring.
At Vivienne Westwood’s Red show, contouring on models’ cheekbones and eye sockets played with light and shadow and helped to play tricks on the eye.
Vogue’s Jessica Hogan explains colours used to create the look included greys, purples and browns, while eye sockets and the underside of the cheekbones were shaded in nude.
But how can women recreate this look using their own, and probably less extensive, makeup boxes?
Luckily, Beryl Barnard, education director at London School of Beauty & Makeup, is on hand to help.
She explains that ladies can purchase their own contouring set, but that using a highlighter as eyeshadow and eye makeup as a shader can achieve the same result.
"The application is light to accentuate and dark to recede; for example - highlight [the] brow bone down to cheekbone, [apply] blush on the apple of the cheek and dark to shade below [the] blush line," Ms Barnard advises.
This latest trend in makeup follows last year’s craze for pale skin, dark eyes and deep coloured lips as women went mad for the vamp style championed by the Twilight franchise.
