A/W 2010-2011: Runway Beauty [Erin Wasson x RCVA]
HAIR: Kevin Ryan
This time around, it was "beautiful," but a little "crazy." Willer complied with a pretty, taupe smoky eye, edged out with two graphic details -- one bold, black eye brow (which Willer called a "crazy brow," and a slash of black liner beneath the lip. "We're lining the lips with eye liner, but just at the bottom," she explained.
Now, don't rule out the lip look completely. Lining beneath the lower lip "actually makes the lip lip look fuller," says Willer. OK, we're sold.
In the hair corner, stylist Kevin Ryan welded the crimping iron, but there were no 80s zigzags in sight. Instead, he left the top layer of hair alone, haphazardly crimping only the inner layers of hair. "It gives a little flicker of light as she moves" explains Ryan. "And it also gives your hair more volume. Sold again!
GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Maybelline. Eye Studio Color Plush Eye Shadow in Taupe Temptress on the eyes, and Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner in Black on the brows and beneath the lips.
GET THE LOOK - HAIR: To make the crimps stick and give added volume, Ryan used By Byron Spirulina Hair Spray (which will be available via this link starting on Monday.)
A/W 2010-2011: Runway Beauty [Lacoste]
The focus was on the eyes backstage at Lacoste's fall 2010 runway show. James Kaliardos, head make-up artist for Lacoste says, "The Lacoste show was a color explosion. Color blocking in cool separates to mix and match, the perfect pieces in luxurious fabrics. We wanted to do French Vogue in the late '70s/early '80s. Photographs by Sarah Moon and Jean-Paul Goude were my inspirations. Black encircled eyes rounded like a flapper from the 1920s with a nude mouth and healthy skin with a little color on the cheek. No sparkle."

"The inspiration for the look for the Fall 2010 show was really about going back to the 1990's. Very raw, yet feminine and fragile" explained lead makeup artist for the Sephora PRO team, Jose Rivera. Keeping the skin clean and natural, Rivera started with MAKEUP FOR EVER HD Invisible Cover Foundation to give the skin a healthy glow and keep it pixel perfect. He then used Stila Convertible Color in Lillium pressed on with his thumb for a defined and sculpted cheek. For a sheer purpley-taupe wash, Rivera applied MAKEUP FOR EVER Eyeshadow in Metallic Taupe 127, for a timeless smoky eye effect. Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Mascara is key in achieving lush and full lashes. The lips are sheer and glossy "so it looks good on everyone" with MAKEUP FOR EVER Glossy Full Couleur in Coral and Peachy Pink. This look is accentuating a more subtle and natural smoky eye while keeping the skin flawless for a timeless look you can wear anywhere, anytime.

Nails just got a whisp of color, with a yet-to-be-named shade by Estée Lauder. "The eyes are so smoky, so we wanted a clean look on the nails," explained manicurist Jin Soon Choi. "So they are very sheer and natural."
GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Estée Lauder. The eye makeup, which was used on both eyes and lips, are new for Fall 2010. Brush the royal blue shade from lash lines to brow bones, then apply the navy blue shade, arching from the inner corner of the eye up to the outer corners of the brows, blending well so there are no divisions between the two shades. Line lids with Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in Midnight Blue, and top eyes off with Turbolash All Effects Motion Mascara in Black. Apply a light layer of Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Crystal Beige, with a dusting of copper shadow on top.

A/W 2010-2011: Runway Beauty [Hussein Chalayan]
The beautiful, glossy, taupe eyes that Gucci Westman created in Paris at Hussein Chalayan looked striking against Lakshmi's skintone. She used a selection of the new collection she worked on with Revlon, which is set to launch around September time. Westman gave the models’ lips a cool wash of tone color to balance the transparent smoky eyes she was creating. The lipstick she used is Mink, which is a shade of nude cocoa brown.

Gucci Westman, who did the makeup on behalf of Revlon, kept the models looking airy but strong. “I’m slightly lightening their skin with a lighter foundation and darkening the brows,” said Westman, who created matte cheeks and lips and strengthened brows with ColorStay Brow Enhancer. “There is a strength in the clothes, so we wanted the girls not to look so soft, but still ethereal.” Westman also used a violet lipstick she created especially for fashion week on cheeks for a delicate glow.
Lakshmi Menon in Fall 2009's Make-up Trends [Lacoste]
It was all about the eyelashes at the Lacoste show Saturday morning, where makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift used her namesake color cosmetics collection to create a "full" but not-too-glamorous look to the eyes.
After applying copious amounts of mascara, she then used a black kohl pencil to create a "circular eye."
"It's on the raw side," she said. "There's coverage, but it's not over the top."
Faces were "beautiful and glowing," she added, and on the inside the lips, she applied a stain to give depth to the mouth. "It has a Sixties feel. The clothes are a little ŒAnnie Hall,'" Swift continued, "so we wanted to do that but with a little more impact on the eye. This one we're really going for!"

"A little bit androgynous, a little bit masculine" is how makeup artist and Shiseido artistic director Dick Page described the look at Alexander Wang's show Saturday. "It's a bit sexy, but a bit tough as well," said Page, who achieved this by applying Makeup Stick Cream Foundation in a shade or two darker than the model's skin tone to contour the cheeks, before dusting the face with Translucent Loose Powder, for a "very matte finish."
Page skipped the mascara, but lined the eyes with Eyeliner Pencil in Deep Brown and applied Silky Eye Shadow in Granite Stone for a murky effect.
Lips were neutral and monochrome—painted with a blend of Eyeliner Pencil in Deep Brown and Perfect Rouge Lipstick in Spiced Cream.

“We’re doing a monochromatic, nomadic woman,” said M.A.C Cosmetics makeup artist James Kaliardos, who added that “Sudanese women” inspired the beauty look at Diane von Furstenberg Sunday afternoon.
“We’re shading the face with natural tones,” he said, “and there’s a round, light, smoky eye.” He applied a M.A.C Omega Eye Shadow hue to top and bottom eyelids to lend rounded definition to the eyes. On the cheeks, he went with a M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Pearl and brushed M.A.C Malt Eye Shadow onto the edges of the lips “to kind of finish off [the face].
Lakshmi Menon in Fall 2009's Make-up Trends [Tibi]
Inspired by the color-pop prints and peacock solids in Tibi's Fall 2009 line, Makky turned the makeup to a decade when optimism was king, and neon colors ruled. Yes, that would be the 80's. "The look is very Christy Turlington circa Vogue in the late 80's, said Makky. "When bright blue eye shadow was really in." To make the look very fresh and modern, and not too Barbie, he cut off the end of the eye color for a very graphic, square shape.
Makky used M.A.C's new turquoise shade for fall, blended with true blue M.A.C Eye Shadow in Electric Eel on the top lid and squared off at the ends, with a cobalt blue shade beneath the lower lash lines. For concentrated color, use M.A.C Paint Pot in Painterly underneath. "It's a cream shadow that dries in a minute and really pops every color you put on top," says Makky. Lips were downplayed in M.A.C Hello Kitty Tinted Lip Balm in Pink Fish. "I love these because the balm texture allows you to wear trendy shades like pale pink without going crazy."

For Badgley Mischka's models, makeup artist Tom Pecheux created "a cocktail look that's slightly less formal than what I would do for a red carpet. We did not want it to be too dramatic," says Pecheux, who used M.A.C products to achieve the look.
Pecheux kept the skin simple and fresh using matte foundation (M.A.C Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation) and pale pink blush (M.A.C Hello Kitty Beauty Powder Blush in Tippy). He created an ombre effect on the eyes using navy shimmer (M.A.C Eye Shadow in Deep Truth) and gray shadows (M.A.C Eye Shadow in Scene), accented with gold pencil (M.A.C Cosmetics Glitter Eye Liner in Her Glitz) along the lower lash lines. He muted the color of each model's lips using a nude pencil (M.A.C Lip Pencil in Oak) and a swipe of sheer lavender gloss (M.A.C Cremesheen Glass in Ever So Rich).
Lakshmi Menon in Fall 2009's Make-up Trends [Carolina Herrera]
The look for Carolina Herrera’s show on Monday was Beth Porter (ladylike) meets Shane McCutcheon (rough)…a look that had me head over heels in love. Makeup Artist Diane Kendal used makeup from M.A.C. Cosmetics at the show. With strict direction from Herrera herself, the designer wanted models to have a more luminous look. Kendal lined the models eyes with a nude shimmer pencil on the bottom inside of the eyelid. On the brow bone and cheeks, Kendal used a white pearlized pigment ( this technique allowed the light to pick up the shimmer when models walked down the runway). Foundation was applied very lightly, used more like a tinted moisturizer than a blemish coverup. To warm up the cheeks, Kendal used the M.A.C. Mineralize blush in peach and finished the look by using the popular Twig color M.A.C. lipstick and Dazzle Glass berry lip-gloss.
