Fall 2009 Fashion Week: Backstage Beauty at Michael Kors

SHOW: Michael Kors
MAKEUP: Dick Paige for Shiseido
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Sooty gunmetal eyes set against classic Kors clothing



THE SCOOP: When makeup artist Dick Page and Michael Kors put their heads together to decide on a look, they went for something in stark contrast to season's past. And whereas the Kors model usually sports a clean, no-makeup makeup look like last season's, or maybe red lips at the most, this year they decided do something very different for Kors (but right in line with what we're seeing at many other shows) - drum roll, please...a smoky eye! Page went for a sooty, gunmetal grey on the upper lids, and rimmed around the bottom lash line in black liner for extra contrast. Lips looked natural in a flesh-tone pink, and cheeks remained bare. The insouciant eyes were in stark contrast to the tailored, ladylike looks Kors sent down the runway, perhaps pointing back to the economy - fashionistas may be able to keep up their outward appearances, but inside, they're just another tortured soul.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP:
Shiseido Makeup Hydro Powder Eyeshadow in H3 Shiseido Makeup Luminizing Satin Eye Color (new for Fall) in Lingerie (BE701), Slate (GY913) and Tar (BK915). Shiseido Makeup Perfect Mascara in Black (BK901) ( new for Fall), Shiseido Makeup Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil in Black (new for Fall), Shiseido Makeup Perfect Rouge in Almond Pink, Shiseido Makeup Advanced Hydro-Liquid Compact Foundation SPF 15 (new for Fall).
