Category Archives: Fashion WeekRunway To Real: Spring ‘09 Colorways
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.

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.

And I couldn’t stop staring at her perfectly rich red pucker, wondering how to achieve the same cranberry color without rubbing the tart fruit itself all over my lips.

During Fashion Week, it is their job to translate the mood of a collection on to the face, to turn the planes of models’ cheeks, the grooves of their eyelids and the curve of their lips into either a colorful, dramatic, monochrome, matte, shimmery or minimal canvas providing a point of reference for the clothing.

The alarm screeches in your air come morning and you rather stupidly decide to snooze for just a few more minutes, minutes that somehow turn into an hour, leaving zilch time to hop into the shower. Baseball caps and straw fedoras are a faux pas at the office, so what’s a girl to do with matted hair and greasy bangs?

The thing about this power woman is that she wasn’t androgynous; she was still sexy, feminine and vampy as ever, and this feeling was probably a result of the red lips models sported down the runway of Jack and Lazaro. I’m really noticing that for Spring ‘09 most designers and makeup artists are agreeing that the thing to do is highlight one part of the face, whether it be eyes or lips, while keeping everything else clean and minimal.

The energetic, wunderkind designer brought all types out, from model-designer best friend Erin Wasson to the Queen E (as in editrix) of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, who attended his presentation for the first time.

Leave a comment Cat Magic Woman
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.
