The Edit: beauty looks from Spring Summer 2012 runways

It’s that time of the year again. The dust has settled from the Spring/Summer Ready To Wear Fashion Week runways, leaving me to greedily pore over all the backstage photos.

Here are my favourite looks-

 

Emilio Pucci Spring Summer 2012

 

 

 

 

 

I loved the smudgey copper gold and black smokey eye that Lisa Butler created for this Emilio Pucci show using MAC cosmetics. It’s equal parts gypsy wanderer, and rich girl on a luxury yacht.

 

Eyes

• Smolder Eye Kohl – applied through the upper lashline, waterline and lower lashline, with extra depth at the inner and outer corner of eyes.
• Blitz and Glitz Fluidline – smudged through Smolder Eye Kohl around lashes.
• Venetian Tarnish Metal X Cream Shadow – applied over the upper and lower eyelids with fingers, being sure to not over blend.
• Zoomblack Zoom Lash Mascara – applied through both upper and lower lashes to define.
• Hush Hush Tendertone Lip Balm (available Spring/Summer 2012) – dabbed over eyelids during line-up at first looks.

 

Derek Lam Spring/Summer 2011

 

 

keep reading after the jump!

 

 

To me this look perfectly distills the feel of summer. Minimalistic and clean; and so so glowy.

 

Eyes
• Pure Color EyeShadow Palette in Yellow shade (#5) used (launching January 2012)
• Pure Color Gelée Powder EyeShadow in Cyber Copper (launching November 2011)
• Pure Color Gelée Powder EyeShadow in Cyber Green (launching November 2011)

Tom Pecheux for Estee Lauder

 

 

Marni Spring Summer 2011

 

 

 

Another Tom Pecheux masterpiece. We’ve seen him use a lot of orange, reds, and pinks on the runway in the last few seasons and he certainly likes the graphic orange liner (the look he created for Derek Lam S/S 2011 was almost identical to this one).

One of these days I’m going to get my hands on a burnt orange liner and do this look.

 

Giles Spring Summer 2012

 

 

 

 

Lucia Peironi creates another one of her fabulous soft focus ‘wine stained’ lips using MAC Lip Pencils in Brick and Burgundy. I really like how she concentrates the colour in the center of the lip. The cheek colour is MAC Russian Red lipstick applied sheerly with fingers to the apples of the cheeks- another typical Lucia Peironi move.

So gorgeous.
