My least favorite part is the chaos and the frenzy. Yes, I’ve had the experience of working fashion week, and I really enjoyed it. Multidimensional, electric, otherworldly, explosive color. I was imagining an interplanetary catwalk of the future. Step 6: Use the same tones on your cheek-applying a fingertip-sized amount of the cool-toned pink where a cheek highlight would be-and diffuse that color with the peach/orange-toned color along the top of the cheek. Connect this color to the front of the brow with a middle finger–sized touch of a cool-toned pink to contrast. Step 5: Push a peach/orange-toned shadow or blush through the central/inner half of your eye socket and slightly onto the lid. Step 4: Press matching eye shadow over the lower liner shape. Extend the line from the outer corner out and slightly upward toward the tail of the brow, creating a squared tail shape. Step 3: Take a deep contrasting-colored eye pencil (in my case, a deep green) and draw a tapering along the lower lash line from the outer corner to about the center of the eye, wherever is most flattering. Step 2: Apply your choice of eye shadow color over the white pencil with a fine-tip brush. Diffuse the end of the line with a small cotton bud. Lift and continue the line of the lash line from the outside of the iris out to the corner of the eye socket, toward the tail of the brow. Step 1: Draw white eyeliner along the inner corner of the eye-from just under the tear duct, around, and up along the upper lash line to about halfway across the eye. But red carpet makeup is all about making the individual wearing it look however they feel they should look for the event. Editorial is not so different from that in ideology, just very different in execution. It is a wonderful collaboration between many artists. I love runway makeup because the whole show is about encapsulating a character, a protagonist, and describing them in vivid detail. What do you love about runway makeup, and what differentiates it from red carpet and editorial? The ultimate runway inspiration is one you can take right to the street, and NY designers always deliver on that. They dress the many and ever-progressing identities I see on the street and give us all ammunition to step up our casual. My favorite city for fashion week might be New York City because it is my home turf, and I find that the up-and-coming designers showing there are making forward-thinking clothes that people want to wear. What is your favorite fashion week city? Why? I have yet to be the key makeup artist at a fashion show, but I look forward to that next level of a challenge! It's great practice because you can have a learning moment at any point in the day and have the opportunity to apply within a few hours. Fashion month feels a lot like a tournament, wherein the artist backstage is the athlete doing their best and testing their skills and all the knowledge they have gained by working on many faces back-to-back and for days on end. Yes, I have a few years of experience working backstage at shows, and I have always loved them. What are three to five adjectives you’d use to describe the look?ĭo you have experience working backstage at fashion shows? If so, what is your favorite or least favorite part of creating runway looks? I have been reading a lot of sci-fi by Octavia Butler and thinking about Afrofuturism and how I could bring a bit of that future feeling to today, and I am generally yearning for flowers and greener weather, so this feels like a blend of those two spaces in my mind. The rules? None! The possibilities? Endless! Keep scrolling to check out the fantastical looks each of these visionaries dreamed up to fill your mood boards with all the spring makeup inspiration you could need. We may not have had the usual bevy of IRL beauty details from September’s spring shows, but we did one better by calling in three of our all-time favorite celebrity makeup artists-William Scott, Danessa Myricks, and Jenna Kristina-to create makeup looks for their fantasy runway show. Luckily, we're a resourceful bunch and devised the perfect work-around. Without the up-close and personal peeks we’re typically able to get via behind-the-scenes snippets from designers and the artists who help bring their shows to life, the ritual of deep-diving into backstage beauty details to identify trends for the coming season has all but ceased. Though it’s far from the most pivotal shift we’ve seen over the last 365 days or so, it goes without saying that the way we take in all the sartorial splendor and the enviable beauty looks at fashion shows now looks quite different. Welcome to spring, friends! My, how things have changed since this time last year.
