MILAN FASHION WEEK part 2

LA PERLA

For LA PERLA show during Milan fashion week I had the pleasure to do the make up for the fabolous Bianca Balti.




Dotti, the lead make up artist created a beautiful semi natural look. The skin was gorgeous, looking expensive emphasised with the MADINA highlighter on the temples and the highest part of the cheekbones. The eyes were soft smoky: we used a cream metallic charcoal color , coffee pencil by MAC
on the rim of the eyes. Sculptured cheekbones and pale lips.

BLUMARINE

When I arrived to the Velodromo Vigorelli where the Blumarine show was going to take place, they were setting up the room.I was immediately attracted by the sight of a beautiful arch made of yellow roses that was framing the entrance of the catwalk. I knew then that it was going to be an amazing day.





The make up look that lead make up artist Charlotte Tilbury created was angelic, dewy, luscious.

The base was light coverage, dewy, healthy with a touch of cream blusher.

The eyes were defined with brown cream eyeshadow on the socket of the eyes and on the bottom eyelid, very soft. Shimmery pigment on the inner corner and a touch on the eyelid, to open up the eyes.

On the lips rose cream blush, tapped with fingers to give a stain effect, covered with a layer of clear gloss.

Shimmery pigment on the cheekbones and on the lips bow.

Result = bellissima

MILAN FASHION WEEK

20th September 2008 - Fashion week moves from London to Milan, and I move with it.
My italian fashion journey starts with BLUGIRL.




As we've seen for Ashley Isham and Jenny Pachkam there's a coming back of colours, especially pastels, on the make up trends for SS09.

We all know blusher can give a healthy fresh young look, that's why Charlotte really goes for it with the look for Blugirl.It's pink, it's round shaped and this time it's right on the apple of the cheeks. To complement the blusher a beautiful pink-rasberry-strawberry colour on the lips, applied without definition (no brush or pencil) for an effortless natural look, a la Lolita style.

Here a couple of the images from the backstage, the look that I recreated for Charlotte Tilbury.
