Ok, chicas. Here's the latest from the Fall 2009 Runways... Here are my favorite looks from the Fall 2009 Runways. It's time to try something slightly new, come on--makeup is also like your wardbrobe-don't you get bored of doing things always the same way?
The big trends in Makeup were:
-Gray- HUGE deal on clothing and makeup. It's definately the new black! Silvery/gray eyeshadow and eyeliner were the biggest makeup story for the season.
-Modern Somoky eye- On some shows we saw no eyeliner and again charcoal grays on the eyes for a smoky effect. Another trend? Makeup artists at Zac Pozen and Narciso Rodriguez actually used gloss in the middle of the eyelid when doing a smoky eye. How can you do that? add a dab of light shimmery shadow in the middle of the lid after you are done with the rest of the eyes.
-Modern Romantic look- Carolina Herrera really embraced it by using a "shimmery pigment on eyes and cheekbones" (remember shimmer and not heavy shine!) It just means that you can obtain it by using a highlighting type cheek and eye color with a bit of sparkle.
-Creamy lids with texture
-Lilac! at Jason Wu, we saw pinks and purples on the lips. Gucci Westman (makeup artist for the show) called it "think of Cate Blanchett in The Lord of the rings." ***Don't be scared if you have darker skin just stay away from "bubble gum" like pinks and fuschias.
Overall, this was a "pretty" season for makeup. The only exxagerated looks were the 80's in which we saw everything from Cindy Lauper like neon to a strong, sexy woman at Marc Jacobs. Also we saw (again) red lips but it seems that pinkish red was the fashionable tone.
To me Fall 2009 was a "happy" season that overall embraced femininity. It is one of the few times in which I feel a "real" woman can actually wear the makeup that was shown at the collections. Signs of the economy or maybe just plain realism?
