Taped faces at Dior's Couture show? Yes!

Paris, Jan 24 2011.  Celebrating the 1940's John Galliano for Dior Haute Couture showed a well-received collection yesterday in Paris and the images of the hair and makeup are just has over the top as Couture is supposed to be.
The influence was clearly a Hollywood Siren and they even used an old Hollywood trick.  Facelift tape!  Yes- it's used to lift eyes or even a sagging neck but here it's used to really create those cat eyes that were so of that period.  It was used to make the eyebrows go way up and to slant the eyes dramatically.
This was the first show of the Haute Couture season- let's hope that the rest will be just as cool!!

Spring 2011 NY Fashion week makeup Days 1, 2

Spring 2011 seems to be all about color and we've been seeing it not only on the clothes but also on the beautiful fruity shades of makeup that have been coloring the runways in NY so far.

Here are some great examples:

Check out the color at Z by Zac Pozen by Charlotte Willer from Maybelline NY.  It was all over the place with models wearing green and bright blue eyeshadow, yellow fake eyelashes and then OPI did crazy nails to match:

At Chritian Siriano it was all about a sun kissed cheek.  Love that look and it looked so gorgeous  as the girls walked down the runway:

And then there were the orange glossy lips at Cynthia Rowley worn with a cool strip of bottom fake lashes:

And at Richie Rich squares of bright color (and wigs to match) stained the model's eyes for a 90's club kid type of look:
