One of my highlights of the week was having backstage access to the Michael Kors show to film Dick Page, the Artistic Director for Shiseido, to hear about the look for the show and the new products launching for spring 2010.
The inspiration for this makeup look really came from Michael's collection, using colors seen in the clothes in the eye makeup and just amping it up a bit.
The look was about clean, matte, natural skin with all the interest in the eyes. Dick said, "I'm not really about base, but with so much color on eyes you need to have more foundation to even out the skin and then set with a loose, translucent powder."
To keep it modern, he used the new face highlighters launching in spring to illuminate the area under the eyes and above the cheekbones. They really polish the skin.
Love this backstage tip about eyebrows: apply pencil in a downward motion, then brush it back up. This gives you the most natural-looking brows. Lips were done in a soft, almost-nothing shade to keep the focus on the strong eyes.
oh wow. LOVE this makeup. so saving this for my spring inspiration files!
