Hasta La Ideas

Fashion Week may be over, but that doesn’t mean the beautiful makeup looks should be forgotten! I love going backstage to get the scoop on the makeup looks because usually, the products used are already available in stores, so while we have to wait for the clothes to hit the rack, we can recreate the beauty looks right now! To capture the soft, feminine styles and clean lines of the Brian Reyes Fall 2009 collection, makeup artist Nicolas Degennes for Givenchy Le Makeup created a fresh look with clean, matte skin and dramatic, captivating eyes. This presentation was actually the first time Givenchy was the featured makeup line for runway show. According to Nicolas, who also created the line, “This collaboration with Brian was appealing to me because his clothes capture the sophistication, modernity, and luxurious feeling of Le Makeup.” The makeup look was soft and feminine, with just the right dose of intensity and the best part is that it’s pretty easy to re-create on your own!

Get the Look:
Face: Keep the skin clean and matte using using Subli’Mine Fluid Foundation, $40 for a natural complexion (Note: PhotoPerfexion Fluid Foundation was the actual foundation used and will be available in April).
Cheeks: Dust Prisme Again! Blush, $40, in Smiling Brown onto the cheeks for neutral skin that has a bit of life to it.
