For Dolce & Gabbana, makeup artist Pat McGrath re-created Scarlett Johansson’s look from one of the ads for the Dolce & Gabbana new makeup line.
Here is how to look like Scar Jo…
COMPLEXION
D&G Powder Foundation
LIPS
dark crimson lipstick called Ultra
CHEEKS
pretty pink blush in Roses
EYES
pale pink shimmery Stromboli eye shadow
Stromboli black gold-flecked eyeliner
On top of the penciled line, McGrath used black liquid liner and curled false lashes.
“Approachable Gothic” was look for the Nina Ricci show on March 5 2008. “It’s classic with a touch of kooky darkness,” said Peter Philip, creative director of Chanel.
Here is how to do this look…
EYES
Eye shadow in Ebony from Chanel’s Ombre Essentielle range in the inner corners of the eyes.
Lids were filled with a brownish-purple shade called Magic Night.
“A touch of clownlike sadness” came from a black kohl line added to the center of the models’ bottom lids, then smudged.
CHEEKS
A beigy-apricot color called Fresque.
LIPS
Philips “blended a clear lip gloss with glints of red, purple and bronze.” In The Makeup suggests a dab of Chanel Glossimer in Giggle to mimic the look.
“A woman who’s home is every where – nomad chic” is how James Kaliardos describes the makeup look at Diane Von Furstenberg spring 2009. Here is how to get the look, using MAC products.
EYES
Soba Eyeshadow – blended over lids, up past crease, out toward temples and along lower lashline.
Pearl Cream Colour Base – to highlight the inner corner of the eyes.
PRO Barelash – foundation toned product applied with a mascara wand combed through brows to diminish natural hair colour.
FACE
Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation – applied as a minimal base to the face.
PRO Sculpting Powder – blended under cheek bones and up toward temples to contour.
Pearl Cream Colour Base – touched on the high plane of the cheek bone for highlight.
LIPS
Lip Erase – applied in a sheer layer to pale down the lips.
Sculpt and Shape in Bone Beige – applied with a lip brush to line the mouth.
Charlotte Tilbury describes the look as “very done but in a neutral way.” We think its very “done last night and just woke up.” Anyhoooo…..If you like the slept-in-makeup look (we hear Kate Hudson loves her eye makeup best the morning after), here is how to get it :
EYES
Knight Divine, Brun, and Print Eye Shadows – buffed over lids up toward the brows and along the lower lashline in an oval shape.
Plushblack Plushlash Mascara – applied to top lashes only.
FACE
Matte Bronze Bronzing Powder – applied in a sheer wash to contour the cheekbones.
LIPS
Stripdown Lip Pencil –precisely lining the lips.
Half and Half Lipstick – brushed on to fill in the lips.

VERTERE, the first and only skincare line specifically created to simultaneously address aging, hyperpigmentation and adult acne with one regimen, debuted at the 2009 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show of designer, Nary Manivong.
Makeup Artists prepared models for the runway with applications of VERTERE Dramatic Transformation Cream.
VERTERE’s cornerstone product, Dramatic Transformation Cream, targets aging, hyperpigmentation and adult acne with more than 60 percent clinically active ingredients including organic lactic acid, arbutin, organic and inorganic peptides, vitamins and botanicals at clinically proven levels. Dramatic Transformation Cream also shields the skin from UVA/UVB damage and inhibits tyrosinase synthesis to help reduce the reoccurrence of hyperpigmentation.

The look at Lavin S/S 2009 was all about eyeliner – dramatic and exaggerated. Here is a step by step guide to how makeup artist Pat McGrath created the look.
COMPLEXION
Max Factor Erase Concealer
Max Factor ColorGenius Foundation with Minerals
Max Factor ColorGenius Mineral Pressed Powder
Kevin Aucoin The Scuplting Powder (use a fluffy brush to sweep sculpting powder at temples and under cheekbones)
EYES
NARS eyeliner pencil in iceberg (on the upper lash line)
CoverGirl Line Exact Liquid Liner Pen in Very Black (on top of the pencil to intensify)
Max Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper in Extreme Blackout on lashes
Cover Girl Brow and Eye Makers Pencil in Soft Blonde and Soft Brown on brows
LIPS
Cover Girl Continuous Color Lipstick in Pure Gloss (a sheer iridescent pale pink)
Pat McGrath Says: “The key to the look is the depth of the black which, when used fearlessly creates a black latex look for lids. Hard lines and strong shapes give a bold, graphic and altogether more modern look.”

Forget the berry tones of autumn & winter; spring & summer are all about futuristic purple tints on eyes and lips. Zac Posen showed violet lips, and Aquascutum showed glossy metallic iris eyes.
To create the look above Charlotte Tilbury, makeup artist for MAC used “pale violet pigment on the lips, followed by a white tint on the cupids bow and center of the lips to give a sexy, iridescent sheen” and then “maintained a feminine focus” by doing eyes with cool pink and lilac and no eyeliner or mascara.
In The Makeup Says: To take this look from runway to realway, keep futuristic purple eyes at the lashline only rather than all over the lid. Smudge Laura Mercier kohl eye pencil in purple sapphire around the upper and lower lashline, then use Lancôme’s Le Crayon Kohl in Blanc in the inner corners. Get “realway” violet lips by applying one coat of something like MAC lipstick in Up The Amp (a creamy Lavendar Violet), blot with a tissue to create a violet stain, and then soften it up with a clear lip balm or gloss.

PARIS: STILL BARE
Enhancing beauty rather than creating a makeup look continued in Paris. Think fuller brushed-up brows, curled lashes, luminous cheeks and tenderly bare lips. In Paris, its all about turning up the volume on the beauty that’s already there. Just don’t presume the products were so minimal: from primers to a plethora of skin-twin shades, this is nature worked to the max.
MILAN: BACK TO VAMP
Of course we had black eyes and diva-ishly intense shadows in Milan. Where would labels like DSquared2 and Just Cavalli be without a direct nod to womanliness in all her pumped-up glory? An imperfect touch is still key. Pressed in smudgy eyeliners with your finger “to dirty it up a bit.” Also, think “sexy, Kate Moss, rock’n’roll” extended liner. But don’t go strictly black. There were also intense deep golds.
LONDON: GROOMED
Gorgeously prepped skin, subtle highlights, drop-dead cheekbones and nuanced tones pulled together for a distinctly groomed moment in makeup. Think neutrally soft and sensual expensive girl. Channel the outdoorsy Ralph Lauren woman or Beverley Hills 90210 – fresh, young, rich and groomed.” And go ahead, reek of perfume; just make sure it smells expensive.
NEW YORK: A FINE MESS
Free yourself from precise eyeliner. A purposefully messy element to makeup was clearly preferred. Eye makeup didn’t go down the runway retro-perfected and neat. It was more smudged (aka modern). Artist Charlotte Tilbury said of MAC Smolder Eye Kohl (which was used at tons of shows) that “it’s meant to be a mess – it’s lived-in, effortlessly cool, smudged, rock n’ roll.” Sexed-up traces of black kohl, Botticelli-inspired smoky, blackened silver lids, or….maybe a dusky plum for daytime.
PARIS
Less was most definitely more backstage at Emanuel Ungaro Wednesday.
Sharon Dowsett, who was working with MAC Cosmetics, used a plethora of products to create a barely there makeup look.
“I don’t want [the models] to look tired. They should look like it’s the first day of their holidays,” said Dowsett.
FACE: Skin was prepped with MAC moisturizers followed by Fix+. To create a fresh base, Dowsett used a combination of Face and Body, Strobe Liquid and Strobe Cream.
CHEEKS: Blushcreme in Cherche was used on cheeks, followed by Emanuel Ungaro Cream Color Base in Crushed Bougainvillea, which was created for the fashion brand by MAC.
LIPS: A smidgen of Emanuel Ungaro See Thru Lip Color in Not So Shy was applied to the inner part of the lip, while Face and Body and Blushcreme in Cherche were used around the outer edges.
EYES: Eyelids were slicked with a blend of Gloss and Graphito Eye Paint, Eye Kohl in Smolder was dotted along lash lines and lashes were curled before being coated in Pro Lash mascara to create what Dowsett dubbed a “lamp-lit eye.”
PARIS
Makeup for these alien movie “Species” inspired looks were created by Peter Philips for MAC Cosmetics.
Philips prepped faces with skin-sculpting foundation and Prep + Prime loose powder. A hint of Powder Blush in Breath of Plum warmed up cheeks while Lipmix in Burgundy was used on pouts.
“It’s like they have veins or tree roots growing on their faces,” said hair stylist Paul Hanlon, who created the look by snaking tendrils of hair over models’ faces and holding them in place with hair nets. “The nets are used like a mask.”
At the back of the head, hair was pulled into rope-like shapes, reminiscent of wooden heels on some shoes worn on the runway.
PARIS
Backstage at Yves Saint Laurent Thursday, makeup was inspired by Fellini’s 1963 movie “8 1/2”.
“I didn’t take it as a reference. It’s more of a twist, and Yves Saint Laurent makeup with a twist,” said makeup artist Tom Pecheux.
Eyes stole the show, with eyeliner stretching outward and upward, topped with a row of false lashes.
Pecheux created a matte base using YSL Matt Touch Foundation and Perfect Touch, then topped it with Poudre Sur Measure.
Then he added a hint of blush and contoured slightly using hues from the Palette Collection compact.
Hairstylist Julien d’Ys, meanwhile, did dual-toned coifs for the show and added hair extensions. The back-combed updos were inspired by Simone Signoret and Jeanne Moreau, d’Ys said.
PARIS
John Galliano’s gals were a riot of color backstage at his show Saturday.
Makeup artist Pat McGrath created a kaleidoscope of looks inspired by the likes of William Hogarth, James Gillray and Queen Elizabeth’s guards.
McGrath used eyeliner in Nightclubbing, Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara, and lots of theatrical makeup.
“They’re really gorgeous and fun,” said McGrath, who was working with Max Factor.

Carolina Herrera
“The look is dramatic but with a softness to it. The inspiration for the collection was Botticelli and the contrast of black and white; the look pairs a strong eye and a soft lip.”—Diane Kendal, lead makeup artist
Eye: Diane created a warm smoky eye by first blending MAC Smolder Eye Kohl along lash lines and the crease of the lids, then sweeping a black-brown shadow across the lids and under the eyes.
Face: Taupe powder blush sculpted the cheekbones. Pink blush on the apples of cheeks and a gold highlight on the tops of cheekbones balanced the drama of the smoky eye.
Lip: Diane used a layer of nude cream-texture lipstick to cover the natural color of the lips, followed by a sheer white frost.
Pro Tip: “To create a warm smoky eye, blend an eye shadow in a brown hue over the lids.”
New York
Zac Posen
“The look is a mix of tribal and whimsical.” —Charlotte Tilbury, lead makeup artist
Eye: Charlotte gave eyes depth, blending a dark brown cream shadow into the crease of the eyelids, and lining the top lash line.
Face: A sheer application of matte bronzing powder under cheekbones and on the temples accentuated the bone structure.
Lip: A vivid pinkish-purple lip pencil used to fill in the lips created a base for layers of MAC Violetta and Cyber Lipsticks.
Pro Tip: “To create an opaque lip color, fill in your lips with liner before layering lipstick on top.”
New York
Donna Karan
“Its an all-American supermodel look based on Lauren Hutton in American Gigolo.” —Charlotte Tilbury, lead makeup artist
Eye: MAC Dark Brown Cream Colour Base added depth to the eyes and MAC Silver Cream Colour Base was blended over the lids. A brown liner was applied to top and bottom lash lines and slightly past the outer corners for look of “perfect imperfection.”
Face: Matte bronzer contoured the cheekbones to emphasize bone structure.
Lip: Charlotte painted a nude lipstick on lips, followed by a flesh-toned gloss.
Pro Tip: “Use MAC #30 individual lashes. You can place a few on the outer corners, or go all out and apply to the whole lash line.”
