Lead makeup artist T. Cooper used Mirabella Beauty to create a striking look for the CuteCircuit runway show at Lincoln Center on Thursday, September 4th for Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week.
The runway show’s makeup look was inspired by the idea of a sun-kissed girl at the beach who quickly transitions for a fabulous party later that night. She leaves her makeup natural with a pop of color on the eyes – a beautiful ocean-inspired teal blue hue. Eyeshadow was applied wet as a thick liner. Models with deeper complexions were lined with Eye Colour in Haute, and those with fairer skin were lined with a mix of Aquamarine and Azure. Brows were kept natural and black mascara completed the eyes.
Models’ faces looked flawless with Mirabella’s signature Skin Tint Crème, providing good coverage and a dewy, natural looking finish. Baked Sand Mineral Bronzer was applied to warm up the skin and create a glow. Light blush was added with the Blissful or Glowing Blush Colour Duo palette, depending on the model's complexion. Makeup was completed with Glossy Ginger Colour Vinyl Lipstick, a nude shade with pale pink, shimmery Lustre Colour Luxe Lip Gloss on top.
The pretty, natural face with bold eyes perfectly complemented CuteCircuit’s relaxed, feminine looks with eye-catching embellishments and lighting technology.
