For this season’s Fashion Week in NYC, the tarte cosmetics artistry team partnered with beauty.com and celebrity makeup artist, Tina Turnbow to create celestial-inspired looks for Lela Rose’s Fall 2010 show on February 14th. Tina also collaborating with “tarte’s green team,” created an effortless look for eco-chic designer Susan Woo’s fall fashion show on February 13th at the Bryant Park Hotel. I wish I was there to witness them myself (maybe some year I’ll get off my ass and get the fashion week!). But for now all I get to do is read about the looks and share the ones I like with you. I especially love the eye look for Tina did for Lela Rose. The eyes are so smoldery and sexy. Here are detailed instructions on how you can create the looks yourself, using tarte products of course!:
Lela Rose Fall 2010: Inspiration: Nature’s celestial landscapes – think of the nighttime sky and imagine a full moon peaking behind the clouds.
Overall Look: The moonlit eyes are mysterious, while the complexion and lips have a cloudy, hazy feel.
eyes: Silvery, moonlit eyes-a silvery/black smoky eye without edges and just a touch of blue. The eye is almost 3D, rounded and mysterious. direction: Think of the eye as a rounded sphere or planet. The inner crease of the eye is darkened up to the brow with the shimmery deep blue gray (eyeshadow in lucy I’m home). The outer area is rounded, softly muted blackness. The center of the eye is the lightest, with darker edges (inner and outer corner of eye) ending in black (eye couture palette). Apply blue lagoon only in the center of the top and lower lids. Blend the blue into the gray and then into a bit of the black. There should be a bit of the blue and silver gray (eye couture palette) blended in the center of the lower lashline. Apply smolderEYES in the inner rim of the eyes. Top it off with a coat of lights, camera, lashes! mascara on the top and bottom lashes (no curling needed). Leave eyebrows-do not fill in. After finishing the eyes, clean underneath with the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer.
complexion: It should feel muted like a hazy, cloudy sky. The mineral powder will matte and tone skin. Use the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer after applying shadows to avoid fallout. Then apply smooth operator oil-free tinted moisturizer with SPF 20 (one shade lighter than model’s complexion). Use provocateur pressed mineral powder to matte the t-zone.
cheeks: Just a touch of healthy blush, like blissful natural cheek stain (warm peachy pink). Then powder over blissful with provocateur pressed mineral powder.
Susan Woo Fall 2010
Overall Look: Effortless beauty-A fresh, slightly-dewy complexion with kohl-rimmed eyes.
Complexion: It’s all about a healthy, dewy complexion. Spot treat problem areas and darkness with the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer. Then apply smooth operator oil-free tinted moisturizer with SPF 20 all over the face. Use rest assured brightening wand on top of cheek bones as a highlighter, over lids before shadow application, on the bridge of the nose, on the cupid’s bow and in the corner of eyes. Apply natural cheek stain in dollface in a U-shape from top of lids to outer and under eye area (acting as an illuminator).
Cheeks: Just a hint of flush. Dab natural cheek stain in true love on apples of cheek and natural cheek stain in dollface above that to highlight.
Eyes: They are Kohl-rimmed eyes which ads emphasis on the eyes without being too smoky. Using the eye couture day-to-night palette, apply the shimmery deep gray and top with the silver sheen. Then line inner rim and lash line with emphasEYES™ natural high definition inner rim eye pencil in black. Using emphasEYES™ waterproof clay shadow/liner, smudge the top line, creating darkness around the lash line. Curl lashes and coat top and bottom lashes with lights, camera, lashes! 4-in-1 natural mascara.
Brows: Using a comb, brush brows in an upward motion.
Lips: A healthy, natural, berry stain, such as LipSurgence™ natural lip stain in moody (available exclusively at Sephora).
