Alice Vol. 4 No. 1

The Blonds
The Who knew being bad could look so
good? The Blonds sent a Disney Villains-inspired
collection down the runway that captivated the
audience with pops of color intertwined with
the classic villain black. Dark eyes and bold lips
added to the high fashion looks that Cruella de Vil
would want for her wardrobe.
Want to go for a bold lip? Step out of your
comfort zone and go for a black lipstick. Use the
black pencil eyeliner from your makeup bag as a
lip liner to line your lips and keep your lipstick
from feathering.
If you’re not ready to commit to a black
lipstick, go for a deep red color. It will still give you
a darkened lip in a classic color that anyone can
pull off. And don’t be afraid to add an elevated
smoky eye to complement your bold lip.
Use a combination of traditional smoky eye
shades and jewel tones, such as emerald, royal
blue, and garnet, to incorporate color into your
eye makeup. For example, use emerald as a
transition shade in the crease instead of a black
or gray. Blend out the shades to have a seamless
gradient from one color to the next, You’ll get a
smokey eye with hints of color peeking through
that’ll put a spell on anyone.
Jeremy Scott
Move over foiled eyes, and say hello to foiled
lips! Statement lips had a comeback moment
during Jeremy Scott’s eclectic pop show. The
90s inspired looks were a tribute to Scott himself,
known for his marriage of colors, grunge and
flamboyance in his collections.
The foiled lip kept the look young and trendy
while the rest of the face was plain. It’s a fun
futuristic look that brings the attention straight
to your lips.
Exfoliate your lips before using liquid lipstick.
This is especially important for a foiled lip since
the look is texturized. Apply a matte, metallic for
a lustrous finish, or top it off with gloss to add
dimension to the lip.
Marc Jacobs
The Marc Jacobs show featured a
monochromatic look with heavily-lashed
blue, pink, and yellow pastel eyes taking
center stage. To make it pop even more, the
models’ hair was colored to match the shade
on their lids.
The overall effect only served to enhance
the color palette of the clothes, allowing the
models to become the human embodiment
of spring’s choice colors. While you don’t
have to match your hair to the color of your
shadow (though it is a cool effect), it’s easy
to pull off a monochromatic eye look. Pack a
matte pastel eyeshadow all over the lid, then
blend out the crease with a fluffy brush to
diffuse any harsh lines. For a bolder look, top
it off with black eyeliner and lashes.
Anna Sui
Once again we saw bright colors
surrounding the models eyes, but this time
it was taken up a notch. Makeup artist Pat
McGrath used diffused sunset tones to
create a yellow to pink gradient from midforehead
to the cheeks that’s reminiscent of
a tropical vacation. The sunset tones added
to the sense of wanderlust that encapsulated
Sui’s whimsical looks.
It isn’t a look for the faint of heart, but
that does not mean you can’t incorporate
the same color palette into an eyeshadow
look. Use yellow, pink, and coral shades
that compliment your skin tone, adding one
color at a time on the eyelid, then blending
in between each color to achieve a gradient.
The look is meant to be playful, so
play around with the placement of colors.
You can keep it just to your eyelid, or keep
adding color and blending it out toward your
temples to create the intensity of the runway
look. Add mascara to the lashes to keep
your eyes defined so not overshadowed by
the color.
