One of the few makeup trends that really caught our eye was the "sweaty" faces at Alexander Wang.

While we often get this look by, well, sweating like pigs, Shiseido makeup artist Dick Page made the models look sexy sweaty instead of gross sweaty.

"There's a lot of heat on the cheek and bridge of the nose," describes Dick Page, Shiseido's Makeup Artistic Director. "I want them to look overheated." You don't get more right on than that on a hot, humid NY day.



Since it is not about precision, the look is surprisingly easy to achieve. Page used different colors of cream blush across the middle of each models face in lieu of skin prep (foundations, concealers, etc). Next he added his new Pink Mesa lipstick with a dab of gloss in the middle of the lip. For eyes he added "murky weight" with smudged black cream liner. Just before the models hit the stage, Page covered their faces with a squirt of water. Simple right?

So next time you come out of the gym don't think "Ew! I'm so gross!" think "Ahh! I'm so Alexander Wang!"
