Paris Fashion Week: Christian Dior Spring 2012
The makeup at Christian Dior was surprisingly subtle (for a Christian Dior runway), but amazingly gorgeous nonetheless. The look consisted of a bright red lip and a softly defined, taupe eye. Love it.

Milan Fashion Week: Fendi Spring 2012
At Fendi, goldleaf was applied from the models lash line all the way past the eyebrow, covering it completely. Black, winged liner was drawn on to contrast the metallic silver and gold leaf.
While I wasn’t crazy about the look alone, I loved how it looked on the runway behind the model’s Fendi sunglasses.

Wayne
At Wayne, the face was kept very clean, and the focus of the look is obviously the white eyebrows.
The Blonds
Key makeup artist, Kabuki, describes his look as “sex kitten, futuristic, Raquel Welch and Ursula Andress in one: it’s sexy and sharp.” To get the look, he brought the eyeliner out and winged it upward, and then pulled it back in slightly through the crease. On the lower eyelid, a swipe of black liner was applied with space in between the lashes and the line. The skin was contoured and a mango gloss was applied to the lips.

The look at Ralph Lauren is so fresh and wearable. Makeup artists, applied white shadow to the model’s eyelids and coated the upper lash with mascara. To get the perfectly flushed cheeks, a mix of peach and rose blush was applied to the apples and blended upwards.
