From Runway To Reality Eyes

December 23, 2008

Who doesn’t love the fantasy and glamor of make up from the Runway. It is playful and bold- and it hast to be for it to really be noticed. Creativity is allowed to push the line as, after all- it is a show.

But that doesn’t mean all is lost or that it cannot be translated into reality. It should inspire us and give us new ideas for colors and lines.

One fashion show look can translate into five looks for the real life girl. Maybe its the use of blush, the placement of color on the lips contrasted against the eyes, maybe it is just the eyes alone.

There is always something that can be taken and used in your own beauty. Sometimes, even more subtle than we may realize.

After being dolled up for the Orangia fashion show, and quite literally “dolled” up- the dresses she designs are like goddess dolls, absolutely gorgeous yet comfortable and perfect for parties. Anyway- I adored the make up, it was so fun and doll like. I wanted to use it but in an actual wearable way.

I was just thinking about it recently and broke it down to its most simple element- the eyes. What makes this look so fabulous is the simplicity of the strong lines on the eyes (with bold lashes of course) and the well placed bright pink blush.

Well, why not just do a simple line, and keep the rest of the face clean? Mascara of course to lengthen and enhance the eye lashes, but really keep it simple.

And so I did; I kept the lips glossed but otherwise nude. Just some subtle shadow on the eye lids, but really emphasized the line of the eye with some eye liner.

I kept the line long and slightly upwards on the ends to keep it feminine and pretty. Using my Guerlain Mascara, I completed the look from the line outward and with a bit of color to make it pop even more.

It is subtle, but clean, elegant, and pretty. And of course, completely wearable in reality.

Honestly, I think it looks fine like this, but you could even add a hint of a bright pink blush on the cheeks to make the look more doll-like and still pull it off just fine.

It only takes a moment to do and I love the results.
