Lancôme National Make-up Artist Tarek Abbas created skin that “enhanced natural beauty” for Monika Chiang’s debut NY Fashion Week presentation. The show was inspired by Elettra Wiedemann, the model, philanthropist, and face of Lancôme.

Tarek wanted the models’ skin to be flawless with a healthy glow. He contoured the cheeks using the new Blush Subtil Palette and swept bronzer around the hairline and chin. He mixed two neutral shades of Color Design Eyeshadow to create a subtle wash of color around the eyes and defined the eyes with dark brown eyeliner, which was carefully smudged and blended. Then he applied one coat of Définicils Mascara in Brown created natural-looking lashes. Tarek applied Rouge In Love in Lasting Kiss with his finger and pressed the color onto the lips to pump up the model’s natural lip color.
