Not all runway looks are equally wearable. But two makeup looks plucked straight from New York Fashion Week will add a little edge to your usual reoutine: a beautiful red ombré lip from Monique Lhuillier, and a Sophia Loren-meets-Barbie-inspired black and white cat eye from Kate Spade. Ahead are the tutorials that so you, too, can wear these runway looks.
Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows us how it's done.
First, this gorgeous ombré lip from Monique Lhuillier. It says, "I just ate a popsicle and I look damn good."
Here's how to get Monique Lhuillier's popsicle pout:
1. Coat your mouth. "Prep your lips with a balm, like Peter Thomas Roth Lips to Die For Pink Bombshell Lip Balm, and then blot once using a tissue to remove any excess," says Cosenza.
2. Brush on your base. "Sweep a gel-based, cherry lipcolor over your mouth, like Maybelline Color Whisper in Cherry on Top, with a fluffy makeup brush," says Cosenza. "Using a hydrating, sheer lipstick and fluffy brush combo gives you that diffused appearance where your look isn't too harsh, yet some color is still imparted onto your lips."
3. Press on your color. "Pat a deeper, more-pigmented red lipcolor onto the center of your lips using a flat eyeshadow brush," she adds. "To concentrate the color onto the middle of your pout, it helps to pucker up during the application, and then only apply the intense shade to the center of your lips only." For intense color, model Natalie Zfat used OCC Lip Tar in NSFW.
4. Blend. "Using the the fluffy brush you used in step two, lightly blend where the lighter and darker shades meet to get that gradated look," Cosenza says.
5. Add concealer. "To accentuate the diffused effect around the edges of your lips, dab a little bit of liquid concealer — Natalie used YSL Touch Eclat Radiant Touch Pen — at the corners of your mouth," she notes. "This enhances the ombré effect — essentially, you want your lips to look as though you've been sucking on a red popsicle.”
6. Pucker up! Because, girl, you're ready for a selfie.
Next up, the mod, dual-liner look from Kate Spade. Don't worry, it's easier than it looks.
Here's how to get Kate Spade's sexy, mod eye:
1. Prep your skin. Apply your face makeup first, and then reach for a black gel eye liner and a white kohl eye pencil to get started.
2. Draw on dashes. "After you've applied your foundation, using an eye liner brush, run a cream or gel eye liner, like Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Black Liner, in dashes along your upper lash line," explains Cosenza. "Make sure to tilt the tiny lines upward as you reach the outer corner of your eye. This gives you the guidelines to be able to draw on a subtle cat eye easily and perfectly."
3. Connect the dots for one fluid line. Enough said.
4. Swipe on mascara. Coat your upper lashes in L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes in Blackest Black, to accentuate your eyes.
5. Line your lower lid. "Using a white kohl eye pencil (our lovely model Jessica Liu used NYX Cosmetics Slim Eye Pencil in White), trace a V-shape at the inner corner of your eye, continuing the line beneath your waterline along your lower lashline," explains Cosenza. "Be sure to extend the color so it meets and runs parallel to the black liner at the outer corner."
6. Flaunt this flirty look out on the town. Cosenza recommends pairing it with a light rose-pink blush and a similar wash of pink color on the lips. Photo Credit: Elizabeth Griffin/Imaxtree/Kate Spade
