While the shows in Bryant Park have ended for the season, the circus of fashion continues in Milan this week. Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2010 Ready to Wear was dubbed “Heritage”, and showcased the designers’ Sicilian roots and signature sartorial tailoring laced with a dose of tango.
On the runway, each model donned a bold red lip created using Dolce&Gabbana The Make Up.
“This season our inspiration stemmed from the passionate Latin woman melded with our Sicilian upbringing,” said Domenico Dolce. Stefano Gabbana added, “The cultures are very similar and we wanted the beauty look to be reflective of this passion and sensuality.”
Backstage, makeup artist Pat McGrath prepped skin with the foundation, to create a flawlessly natural canvas. Next, McGrath sculpted cheeks using the blush, in Warm.
For the eyes, McGrath blended a taupe shadow from the eyeshadow quad in Elegance along the crease and lower lids. Using a damp brush, McGrath then applied the white shimmer shadow from the eyeshadow duo in Rose along the upper lips close to lashes. To complete the eye look, multiple coats of the mascara, in Black were brushed through top lashes.
For the lips, McGrath aimed to create, “a rich, velvet, red shade,” so she painted lips with a mix of the classic lipstick in Devil, Dahlia, and Ultra.
