#NYFW Get The Look: Silver Glittery Eyes (As Seen At The Chris Benz Fall 2012 Show)
I must admit that I did giggle a little while looking at these beauty looks from the Chris Benz Fall 2012 runway show! The makeup inspiration for the collection was 1980′s Dolly Parton meets Liza Minnelli in Cabaret. How can you not love this? What’s more deliciously fab than this over-the-top glam diva meets a divalicious southern belle!? I just live for the mash up of big-personality glam the designer challenged, but then again this is Chris Benz, so why am I surprised?
The quirky look was created by Lead Makeup Artist for Lancôme, Daniel Martin, who said I was all about “sequins, sparkles and holiday glam,” with the goal to “create fresh, clean skin with shimmering eyes and soft tangerine lips.”
Mission accomplished.
Here’s how to recreate this look for yourself:
- First, Daniel blocked out the eyebrows so they wouldn’t compete with the eyeshadow. He did this by applying Elmer’s glue to the brows and topping it with a mix of concealer and powder.
- Daniel used Color Design Eyeshadow in All That Glitters and mixed it with the silver shade in our Color Design 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette in Violet Magnetique and blended over the entire lid up to the brow.
- Two coats of Hypnôse Drama Mascara gave the eye dimension.
- Daniel used the contour color from the Blush Subtil Palette in Nectar Lace just below the cheekbone and blended the highlighter color from above the cheekbone to the hairline.
- To create the milky tangerine pout, he applied Rouge In Love in Sweet Embrace and topped it with the peachy blush from the Blush Subtil palette.
- Juicy Tubes in Pure was added for a glossy finish. The complete look is “pretty but disheveled,” says Martin.
For the nails, manicurist Ana-Maria used three different polishes from the Vernis in Love collection: Gris Angora, a grayish-purple shade, Noir Caviar, a dark-gray-almost-black shade and Chocolat Mordore, a deep brown shade. The two gray shades were topped with a matte finish and the chocolate shade was finished with a glossy topcoat.
