Trend Alert: Sci-chedelic Makeup

Makeup Artist Pat McGrath Reveals Exclusive Images of Dior Spring 2013 Runway Makeup

this is a headline that I pay attention too! The images she released, were of course as fabulous as one would expect and, I am happy to announce, extremely bright! 

Pat McGrath's design. Swoon!

Along with Pat's design, my day was made even happier upon the discovery of these images from MAC. 

I was slightly disappointed when reading the fashion report I was reading said that these looks aren't an everyday look! I was appalled! SoI live in Melbourne, and while not everyone walks the streets with makeup so flamboyant, I and my fellow creatives, often find myself strolling through the city with many colours and all manner of adhesive sparkly objects stuck to my face. 

Be an individual and embrace it!

I am loving this Sci-chedelic look! Basically, if it looks a little futuristic or alien, you've got it! So it allows so much freedom of creativity! You can use what ever colours you live, whatever objects, do your eyebrows however you wish... Be creative!

So get out there! grab your coloured palettes and be as creative as you dare!

David Jones 2013 Autumn/Winter Launch Makeup Break Down

So today marks the launch of David Jones' Autumn/Winter line in Sydney. Now While, I'm no fashion aficionado, and I'll reserve my judgement on the garments until later, what I do know is makeup. 

First let me say, that I love these face charts! They are beautiful, very detailed, comprehensive and the artist should be delighted with end result. 

And while I do love Napoleon Perdis's work, and I envy my fellow makeup artists and their amazing work at fashion week and event such as this, I find that the looks produced, however suitable for the fashion line they were produced for, I found them a little plain. But that's just because I love color.

Look at the women in the picture above, all gorgeous, with flawless makeup, the contouring and shades of eyes shadow are beautiful... But I would've loved to see some more vibrant lip color at the very least, maybe a Berry Lip stain etc.

I look at Miranda Kerr's Gorgeous face, and I think, well, it doesn't need makeup anyway, because well, she's flawless. 

Then again, when I look at this terrible print, I think, hmm perhaps some bright and beautiful makeup would distract from the print. 

Napoleon, I just think, that perhaps next time, you should amp in up a bit! Eldiese your models! If you need any tips, come and see me. 

So that's my two cents. 

Until next time.
