The makeup artist known for her work on the runways of Bill Blass, Carlos Miele and Vera Wang talks about what she loves about the new ARTISTRY™ makeup and the best ways to wear it.
WHAT'S NEW?
What I'm excited about is the new texture and finish these products offer. Think of fabrics and how designers are layering. The colour underneath comes through and impacts the top layer of colour. The makeup is really taking its direction from fabrics, sheerness and layering. That's a very new approach. There's a lightness and yet with a drama and richness to it.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY OF WORKING WITH INTENSE COLOUR?
This
is where a tool is really important. If you get a smaller brush with tightly packed bristles,
you will get a smaller, denser area of colour. But if you take a fluff eye shadow brush,
you can do a wash of colour which I love. You could build on it or not, depending on your
mood.
LASHES ARE KEY THIS SEASON ... WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET THE FULLEST LASHES?
With the eye open, place the mascara wand on the underside of the lashes, then move the brush in small side to side movements, coating all sides of the lashes. Continue in an up and out motion, dragging the wand to the tip of the lashes. The result, beautiful full lashes.
WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS IN YOUR KIT?
Mascara, lip gloss and moisturiser because you can make someone come alive just with that! |
