“The inspiration for the makeup look at Cynthia Rowley was a sexy, trendy girl going out for the night,” said Maybelline New York Global Makeup Artist Charlotte Willer. “We created a dramatic smokey eye. Eyeliner was our secret weapon!”
The sultry makeup was the perfect accent to the dark, decadent pieces in Cynthia Rowley’s Fall 2011 Collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. To see how makeup artist Charlotte Willer achieved this look, as well as see more photographs,
- Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation was used to create a flawless backdrop for this sultry evening look. Charlotte applied the foundation with her hands, as you would a moisturizer, for a “second skin” effect that looks natural.
- Maybelline Line Express Eyeliner in Brownish-Black was used to line the entire eye. Charlotte applied this eyeliner first, starting at the upper lash line, and continued around the entire eye, including the inner rims.
- Maybelline ExpertWear Eyeshadow Quad in Chai Latte was used to create the sultry, smokey eye. Charlotte applied the dark brown shade over the entire lid. She used the lighter brown shade to blend out the edges and soften the look. Then, she applied the shimmery white shade into the inner corners of the eyes. And last, but certainly not least, she tied the entire eye look together by applying the gold to the lower lash line to bring a hint of light to this look.
- Maybelline Volum’ Express the Falsies Mascara was applied using a side-to-side motion to create a “spiky lash” effect that is truly volumizing.
- Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Beige Bombshell was dabbed onto the models lips with Charlotte’s fingertip. This pretty nude shade is part of Maybelline’s brand new fall 2011 colors. Charlotte finished off the look by applying a second layer, straight from the tube, onto the center of the lips only.
The overall effect is a sultry, night-out-on-the-town look that is gorgeous and not overdone.
