SHOW: Jason Wu
MAKEUP: Gucci Westman for Revlon
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Fairy-like softness
THE SCOOP: Makeup artist Gucci Westman described the look she created for the show as "ethereal." Think Cate Blanchett in
Lord of the Rings. "There is a lot of strength in the clothes," she said. "So I thought that the woman should be softer and her edge come out in her eyebrows."
Westman made the skin slightly lighter using a pressed powder and then wiped off the area around the cheeks to make them "striking." She created a special lilac color to give cheeks that flushed look. To bring out the boldness in the brows, she used a tinted wax and highlighter. Eyelids were topped with nude shadows, and black liner and mascara framed the eyes. To finish, lips were stained pink and purple (depending on the model's complexion) and topped with a clear gloss.
