Fall 2009 Fashion Week - Barbie
SHOW: Barbie
MAKEUP: Sarah Lucero for Stila
HAIR: Orlando Pita for T3
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Barbie! Fun, fresh, and feminine.
THE SCOOP:
The 50 models that took to the runway as part of the Barbie show depicted the iconic doll in the past, present, and future. Ranging from the fantastical to the easily wearable, each gorgeous look captured Barbie's glamorous femininity, but that was about all they had in common! As makeup artist Sarah Lucero explained "Barbie of the past was taken from the original 1959 Barbie doll. She has a really plastic thick lash, so when you blink it isn't even separated, with big sculpted eyeliner. The lip is red glossy lacquer finished off with Stila's Strawberry Lip Glaze. Barbie of the present's really glowy skin and pink colors can can come straight off the runway, it's fun, fresh and very wearable. Barbie of the future is bright and colorful, it's a masquerade look. It's exaggerated but to take it down you can literally use eyeliner pencils and shadows in the same pinks, teals and purples." As for the hair: "We did Barbie by the decades," said stylist Orlando Pita. "Barbie isn't really a little girl, she's a woman. We wanted to make her fun and elegant and not go to much into the draggy thing."

To get the essence of future Barbie try Glitter Eyeliner in Purple Silver, and the Starlet Pastel Palette.
