The good people over at M·A·C were kind enough to share their facecharts from the Fall 2010 shows during Milan Fashion Week. Today’s facecharts include: DSquared2, Blumarine, and Alberta Ferretti, whose shows took place on Friday, February 26th.

DSquared2

M·A·C artist, Gordon Espinet channeled the Helmut Newton woman circa 1982 for the models at DSquared2. Said the artist, “She’s tough and strong but beautifully feminine.” Espinet applied M·A·C Face and Body Foundation (set with Blot Powder) to create a matte, transparent finish on the skin. Powder Blush in Taupe was used on the cheekbones as a contour. Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline was applied to the inner rim and outer lash lines to create a dark focal point on the face. Eye Shadow in Carbon was placed over the top of the liner with a #266 brush and swept upward, creating an elongated shape. Espinet then blended Eye Shadow in Russian Blue into the eye socket and over the Feline/Carbon line (for a soft, shadowy shape). Eye Shadow in Contrast and Reflects Duo Pigment in Purple was brushed onto eyelids using a #239 brush. To highlight the brow bone, Espinet applied Eye Shadow in Crystal Avalanche, while Opulash Mascara in Bad Black was added to lashes. Lip Pencil in Cherry was applied all over the lip, with Lipstick in Good To Go layered on top.

Blumarine

M·A·C artist, Charlotte Tilbury pulled together a sexy, smokey  look for the models at Blumarine. Said the artist, “It’s that late 50’s, early 60’s girl looking sexy in her leopard skin coat. She’s a bit minxy, a bit foxy, with a Brigitte Bardot lip and feline eye that’s smoked out.” Tilbury applied M·A·C Studio Sculpt Foundation along with Mineralize Skinfinish and Invisible Set Powder to the center of the face. Bronzing Powder in Matte Bronze was used to contour the cheek. Tilbury then applied Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline (thinly and close to top lashes and waterline of eye with a thicker line along the bottom lash line). M·A·C Fluidline in Dipdown and Blacktrack (pre-mixed) were applied over the Feline liner  using a #209 brush. Eye Shadows in Typographic and Corduroy were blended and “dragged out” using a #219 brush. Opulash Mascara in Bad Black was then applied to the bottom lashes only, while #30 lashes were placed on the outer corners of the lash lines. Brow Set in Clear and Impeccable Brow Pencil in Dirty Blonde was used to set and define brows. For lips, Tilbury applied Lip Pencil in Oak for definition. Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Till Tomorrow was blended into the lips, while Lip Pencil in Burgundy was used around the lip to give an overdrawn effect.

Alberta Ferretti

M·A·C artist, Lucia Pieroni created a naked look for models at Alberta Ferretti. Said the artist,” It’s a monochromatic palette of beige and nude and grey, inspired by nakedness and nature. The girls are ethereal , but not too fairy-like-they’ve got an edge. A 1950’s/Jennifer Connelly inspired brow takes the focus. Pieroni applied M·A·C Strobe Cream to prep the skin for a raw, nude, and creamy look. Select Moisturecover Concealer was used only where needed. Invisble Set Powder was then applied to the center of the face, while Pigment in Vanilla was dusted on to highlight the cheekbone with a #244 brush. Sculpting Powder in Bone Beige was used on the apple of the cheek to add warmth to the skin tone. Pieroni used Eye Shadow in Copperplate along the outer corners of upper lids and from the middle of the lash line outwards on the bottom. Eye Shadows in Copperplate and Typographic were brushed up through the top line of the brow to elongate and exaggerate. Lashes were curled and left bare. For lips, the artist applied a combination of Lipsticks in Siss and Myth, which was blended and patted onto lips with a finger.

The good people over at M·A·C were kind enough to share their facecharts from the Fall 2010 shows during London Fashion Week. Today’s facecharts include: Todd Lynn, Meadham Kirchhoff, and Vivienne Westwood Red Label, whose shows took place on Sunday, February 21st.

Todd Lynn

M·A·C artist, Terry Barber created a barely there look for Todd Lynn’s Fall 2010 collection. Said the artist,” It’s nude and perfect, but in a very REAL way. I’m really referencing the way that women want to look now. It’s about makeup imitating skincare.” M·A·C Studio Sculpt Foundation was applied to the face for a flawless finish. Cream Colour Base in Pearl was blended onto cheekbones with the fingers, while Cream Colour Base in Luna was added on top of the cheekbone for an intensified highlight. *Cream Colour Base in Fawntastic was used (as a highlight) in place of Pearl for deeper skin tones. For eyes, Barber used M·A·C Eye Kohl in Fascinating in the waterline of the eyelids. Full Coverage Foundation in White was smoothed over the eyelids for a milky effect, while Brow Set in Clear was brushed up through the brows. Lashes were kept bare. Barber then used Lip Erase in Dim to mute out the natural color of the lip.

Meadham Kirchhoff

The look at Meadham Kirchhoff’s Fall 2010 show consisted of “Junkie gypsies and Rahjasthani young brides, with an artistic feel.”  Said M·A·C artist, Florrie White, “They’re strong, passionate girls. I’m reflecting the coloring and layering in the collection with multiple textures and shades for a real artisan feel.”  White applied Eye Shadow in Tete-A-Tint all over the lid and underneath the eye (imprecisely for a messy look).  Eye Shadow in Palace Pedigreed (available Fall 2010) was then washed over the brown bone and lower lash line.  Eye Kohl in Smolder was used to create a thick, messy line beneath the lower lashes. Pro Gloss Texture was then painted under the lower  lashes (as a base).  Glitters in 3D Gold, Copper, and Reflects Very Pink were then randomly blended beneath the eyes.  Lip Pencil in Redd was dotted on the inner corners of the eyes and topped with Gloss Texture and a small cut out of red, reflective paper. Lashes were left bare while Brow Set in Clear was brushed  upwards through brows. White kept lips minimal using Blushcreme in Laid Back (patted on to the lips for a stain).

Vivienne Westwood Red Label

According to M·A·C artist, Gordon Espinet, “Vivienne’s brief was slightly boyish makeup that embraced the idea of of shadows from light, so I looked to the photography of Penn and Avedon and how they would shape and shade a face with light.” Espinet  applied M·A·C Strobe Liquid mixed Face and Body Foundation in White (as well as either C1 or C2) to give skin a translucent pallor. Powder Blush in Taupe was brushed on as a base for the contour. Eye Shadow in Quarry was applied to cool down the color, while Copperplate deepened the shadows (all applied to cheekbones, temples, ears, and jaw with a #116 brush). Espinet then applied Powder Blush in Taupe and Eye Shadows in Quarry and Copperplate from the lash line to the brow with a soft #224 brush (and swept beneath the eye and down the sides of the nose with a #219 brush). Lashes were kept bare. Lip Erase in Pale was applied to the lips followed by Lip Pencil in Stone (to top lip and beneath bottom lip only). Eye Shadow in Copperplate was then layered over the lip pencil for a matte grey brown tone.

Had enough of the 80s flashbacks? Put away your leggings, neon and oversize tees – the next revival is here and it’s all about the 1970s. Think disco at Studio 54, David Bowie and Glam Rock, Charlie’s Angels feathered hair and Led Zeppelin and their groupies. The 1970s were known for glamorous makeup and MAC has all the products you need to get the look here. I’m so excited for this look! I just got a new disco dress and now I know where to get the makeup to match. Now, I just need some disco dancing shoes!
