Day 2
Look 1
Designer: Next Generation
Welcome to the dark side with New Generations latest collection. With a gothic look to match their beautiful dark stain clothing, make up by illamasqua to create this look.
We had a light base of foundation to give the clear clean skin look, very light contour just to highlight the cheek bones. On the eyes we used a sliver shimmer to the inner corner of the eyes, taking this to the base of the eyelid, up to the brow bone and gradually taking a darker shade in the eye crease for a bit of contouring, we also took the sliver shimmer under the eye and one light coat of mascara only of the top lashes.
For the lips we took a deep purple to finish off the gothic look.
Look 2
Designer: Jeans Couture
With Jeans Couture funky edgy style we took peach and bronze tones to the eyes. On the lids we used a peachy bronze across the whole lid, we used a darker tone to bring the colour up to the brows. One coat of mascara on the top lashes. We kept the bottom lash line mascara free with a light sweep of peach pigment. For the lips we had a beautiful plum colour to compliment the bright eyes. For the cheekbones we took a shade of rouge to match the lip colour. The base was a matte clean finish.
Look 3
Designer: Laquan Smith
With deep shades of red, black latex and sexy thigh high boots for this collection, we went for the oh so seductive look.
We had to get the make up done before the gorgeous models got their hair done so we had no time to lose. The look was very similar to Jeans Couture. We change the eyes slightly making the colours more pinks rather than bronze, we blended the shade more and didn’t take it as high as the brow bone, using the same technique to sweep slight pink pigment along the bottom lash line. With the lips we chose a slightly less blue undertone for a lighter shade. We contoured the cheeks more and high
Look 4
Designer: Laura Macini
Laura Macini create a beautiful Egyptian look for her beautiful evening gowns.
We bronzed the base up a bit for this look, contouring and highlighting the cheekbones and forehead. We kept the eyelid clean from colour using vaseline to create a beau tile sheen, used liquid liner on both the top and bottom lash line to elongate the eyes. For the lips we took a light blush shade to finish off the look.
Look 5
Designer: Ilse Jara
A complete eye change for this look compared to Laura Macini. Eyeliner came off and the gold was packed on. We kept the base very light and clean with just a very slight bronze for a cheekbone contour but the main focus was the eyes. We smashed heavy gold pigment from the top lashliene to the brows, smudging some vaseline on the lids as well for extra sheen. Lips we took pinky nude colour and kept lips matte. The hair stylist finished the look off by sweeping the hair back off the models face, this look is amazing on the catwalk as all the lights really shows the gold on the models eyes.
We hope you enjoyed backstage at Arab Fashion Week with the Lipstick Makeup Institute for day 2.
