What is seen on runways of Fashion Week often ends up trickling into other related facets, like art, music, decor and beauty.
Since we’re currently in full Fashion Week mode, having gone from New York to London and now to Milan, there is a lot of inspiration coming from the catwalks of Marc by Marc Jacobs, Chris Benz, Vivienne Westwood and Just Cavalli in terms of color for Spring ‘09.

London Fashion Week is currently going down across the pond, meaning more Spring ‘09 collections and more reason to watch what makeup trends are coming down the runway.
At Nathan Jenden, the MAC artists backstage kept it clean and simple. Models like Chanel Iman wore dewy finishes (with slicked-back hair) and were polished off with MAC Clear Gloss on eyelids and on cheeks, a very interesting makeup move considering this gloss is usually used to give lip colors ultra-sheen.

New York Fashion Week is now into Day Four and, thankfully, no longer under siege from Hurricane Hanna, who was pelting out raindrops of destruction on Dior and YSL heels at Bryant Park this past weekend.
While it rained cats and dogs outside, smoky gothic black cat eyes reigned big on a few major runways, namely Abaete, Yigal Azrouel and Diane von Furstenberg. Makeup artists, like Jeanine Lobell backstage at the Yigal presentation, kept the rest of the face minimal and zeroed aesethetic focus on the eyes.

A deathly pale pallor is not becoming on anyone, unless your name is Dita von Teese.
Blush is essential to bringing life, youth and vigor to the face, as long as you leave the round clown cheek blush dots to Village Voice scribe Lynn Yaeger. The difficulty in maintaing faux color all day is having to lug around both a powder palette and big brush to re-apply Nars’ Orgasm or MAC’s Stylus when the hump of mid-day hits.
