Autumn/Winter 2012
Chanel Fall 2012
At the Chanel show, makeup artists gave models the cleanest, freshest skin imaginable, with a hint of contour on the hollows of their cheeks. The nude skin allowed eyes to focus immediately on the focal point of the look, the jeweled eyebrows. These handmade brows were created with crystals and minerals, and retail at 400 euro a pair!

Dolce and Gabbana Fall 2012
The Jil Sander show has been my favorite makeup look this season, until now. I’m obsessed with this makeup!! To create the look, Pat McGrath swept neutral and gold eyeshadows from Dolce and Gabbana’s Desert and Gold eyeshadow quads on the model’s eyelids. The cheeks were given a pink flush, and D&G Classic Cream lipsticks in Petal and Mandorala were applied to the lips. Perfection!!

Marni Fall 2012
Tom Pecheux describes the makeup he created for Marni as “spooky.” He made the monochromatic look using MAC’s Pro Longwear Eyeshadow in Mauveness on the model’s eyes, and cheekbones. White was applied to the inner corner of the eye and the lips were left nude.

Jil Sander Fall 2012
I’m obsessed with the rose lip color seen at Jil Sander. To get the look, makeup artists used Chanel’s Lip Pencil in #32 Pivoine and then filled in lips with Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick in L’Élégante.

Versace Fall 2012
Jet black, rock & roll eyes were the focus of the look at Versace. The model’s eyebrows were bleached but cream colors were brushed through the hairs to give a hint of color.

Prada Fall 2012
The look at Prada consisted of an extremely heavy eye. Makeup artists used orange and black greasepaint to create the bold lid. The bottom was lined with black and purple pencil, while the inner waterline was lined with white.

Fendi Fall 2012
I really loved the makeup at Fendi. Karl Lagerfeld wanted the makeup to allude to the white details of his collection so Peter Phillips drew white brushstrokes going out from the model’s eyes. Mascara was applied to the lashes, and the rest of the face was kept very clean.

Gucci Fall 2012
The makeup at Gucci’s Fall 2012 show in Milan was gorgeous, per usual. Pat McGrath called it “ethereal, but dark and strong.” Models were given pale skin, bleached brows and a deep blackened red lip.
