The easy yet stylish beauty look at Micheal Kors SS2016

It is very New Yorker: glowing skin, a touch of bronzer and some gloss on lips and lids. The beauty look created by Dick Page for Micheal Kors Spring Summer 2016 was, indeed, super simple, but it had a twist of glamour, something that is essential when the initial M and K are involved.

Back to the streets, back to the feelings and style of when Alexander Wang started. This was the briefing for the SS2016 beauty look, something that Diane Kendal for NARS Cosmetics, Guido Palau and manicurist Michelle Saunders translated in a row vibe: “the girls are meant to kind of look as they are, with a little bit of grooming but nothing ‘done’” as the makeup-pro said.

All that glitter, all that gold at Creatures of the Wind SS2016

What else could have started off NYFW if not a major beauty look courtesy of Aaron de Mey? Think about an explosion of gold glitter and black eyeliner. Think it bold and bolder.

Some models simply wore black liner, thers had black liner and gold glitter up to their brows, while others had a double liner in black and gold.

The lightness of Dior’s Cruise 2016 makeup look

Naturalness, simplicity and freshness. To contrast Dior’s lustworthy Cruise 2016 collection and to support the lightness of the location (Palais Bulles, Théoule-sur-Mer), Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Make-up, created a fresh and very natural look, something flattering and flawless that could easily highlight the luminousness of a perfect complexion and the cool and harmonious allure that permeated the show.

La naturalezza, prima di tutto. Poi semplicità e freschezza. A fare da coro all’elaborazione architettonica collezione Cruise 2016 della Maison Christian Dior e alla leggerezza della location (Palais Bulles, Théoule-sur-Mer), Peter Philips, Direttore Creativo del Makeup, ha voluto creare un trucco semplice, un qualcosa di ineccepibile seppur adulatorio, che mettesse in risalto la luminosità  di un incarnato perfetto e la perfezione di un’allure cool e armoniosa, lusingando così la bellezza intrinseca di ogni modella.

Chanel does brunch beauty

If there is a show everyone is alway waiting for is Chanel’s. Every season Karl Lagerfeld takes a different scenario to the next level and, after the high-end supermarket, the fashion demonstration and the origami garden this time he erected a full, functioning restaurant - Brasserie Gabrielle was the name, of course - at the Grand Palais. Complete with fruit bowls, café-au-lait (it couldn’t be more French then this) and unexpected bartenders the restaurant worked as a catwalk where models sported two different beauty looks: a boys-meet-girls one and a Parisian ladies at lunch for the other.

Se c’è una sfilata che il fashion system aspetta sempre con impazienza è quella di Chanel. Ogni stagione Karl Lagerfeld trasforma la passerella in un vero e proprio set e, dopo il supermarket di lusso, la protesta fashion e il giardino di origami, questa stagione ha costruito un ristorante vero e proprio - chiamato, ovviamente, Brasserie Chanel - all’interno del Grand Palais. Con tanto di coppe di frutta, café-au-lait (più francese di così…) e inaspettati camerieri, il ristorante ha visto le modelle sfilare e sedersi al bar o ai tavolini a chiacchierare, il tutto mentre sfoggiavano due diversi beauty look: uno dal carattere androgino boys-meet-girls e un in stile ladies Parigine al brunch

How to achieve the prettiest paired-down makeup seen at Nina Ricci Fall 2015

Backstage at Nina Ricci, makeup artist Aaron de Mey created the prettiest, paired-down makeup looks of all the fashion month. Models were meant to look very defined, very sensual and perfect at the same time but not super made-up, so De Mey opted for a less-is-more approach achieved with a lot of layers to look really natural.

Nel backstage di Nina Ricci ha preso forma il make-up look au naturel più ricercato di tutto il mese della moda. Aaron de Mey, a capo del makeup, ha puntato tutto su un trucco definito, sensuale e perfetto ma al tempo stesso non troppo costruito e ha optato per un approccio less-is-more fatto di più strati invisibili.

The offbeat beauty look at Dior Fall 2015

Dramatic side ponytails with a future feeling, aggressive color-blocked eyes painted with the most basic foam applicator and moody mismatched manicures were the foundation of the offbeat beauty look at Dior’s Fall 2015 Fashion Show.

Code laterali dal feel futuristico, sguardi aggressivi dipinti in blocchi di colore con il più semplice degli applicatori in gommapiuma e manicure spaiate hanno gettato le basi dello stravagante beauty look voluto da Raf Simons e Peter Philips per il prossimo inverno di Christian Dior.

Let’s break makeup rules at Dries Van Noten Fall 2015

For Fall 2015 Dries Van Noten wanted something over the top and to play off the opulence of the collection hair was kept easy, with a deep side part and smooth waves, while in the makeup department they had fun in keeping everything pared down and… breaking the rules. Continue reading to know what happened backstage.

Over the top, con queste parole può essere riassunta la sfilata AI 2015 di Dries Van Noten che è stata ben bilanciata da un look easy fatto di riga bassa e chiome morbide nell’hairstyle e da un makeup sottotono che ha voluto prendersi gioco con le regole del trucco. Continuate a leggere per scoprire cosa è successo nel backstage.

"Stars in their eyes" at Anthony Vaccarello Fall 2015

Like every season, we can't wait to see what the makeup at Anthony Vaccarello will be like. Always playing a lot with the idea of beauty accessories this time Tom Pecheux and the model's most beloved designer went back on the eyes (like they did for Fall 2014)  and created face tattoos that echoed the stars cutouts and silhouettes seen all over in the collection.

Come ogni stagione, l'attesa per il beauty look di Anthony Vaccarello era alle stelle e proprio con grafismi celesti lui e il guru del makeup Tom Pecheux ci hanno ripagato: porzioni di stelle stilizzate sotto forma di temporary-tattoos hanno, infatti, adornato l'angolo esterno destro degli occhi delle modelle richiamando le silhouette e i ritagli a cinque punte della collezione.

The covetable, yet unexpected, look at Fendi Fall 2015

Covetable, yet unexpected were the watchwords backstage at Fendi 2015. After neoprene eyeliners and fur faux-hawks, this season both Peter Philips and Sam Mcknight went back to use more classic materials to counterbalance the very controlled collection and create a deconstructed look made of an imprecise eye with super clog lashes and undone hair embellished by rushed leather headbands. 

Inaspettato. Questa la miglior parola per descrivere il beauty look per il prossimo inverno di Fendi, pensato e creato con l’idea di bilanciare una collezione molto controllata, quasi matematica. Focus su occhi imprecisi e impregnati di mascara, dunque, e su acconciature disordinate adornate da fasce di pelle arricciate.

The New Elegance at Prada Fall 2015

New Elegance. With these two words Miuccia Prada briefed the beauty look for her Fall 2015 collection. And it took no time to Path mcGrath and Guido Palau to traduce it in action creating a pared down but still visible makeup and a puffed-up side ponytail embellished with the most precious barrettes that will bring you straight back to the Eighties.

New Elegance. Due parole per descrivere il beauty look voluto da Miuccia Prada per il suo show Autunno Inverno 2015, un concetto che Pat McGrath e Guido Palau hanno colto al volo e che hanno tradotto in un trucco soft ma comunque visibile e in un updo dal vibe Anni Ottanta impreziosito da barrette che già ci fanno sognare.
