Runway Beauty: Marc by Marc Jacobs

I'm always intrigued to see what makeup look the models will be sporting at a Marc Jacobs runway show because it's never expected, but also not costumey. The Marc by Marc Jacobs runway beauty look from Tuesday was decidedly low maintenance; polished without looking forced. Shiseido artistic director Dick Page created the look by blending a combo of white and gold highlighters under the eyes and on cheeks, and on top of that swept one of four different rosy hued blushes, depending on the model's skin tone. Eyes and lips were left bare, says Page, however if you have naturally light lashes and pale lips like me, a little something is in order. 

Try L'Oreal Bare Naturale mascara in black brown, using only two coats and to re-create the natural reddish brown hue I slicked on wet n wild Speed Gloss Energizing lip shine in Chaotic, a true red, and then blotted until just a slight stain was left and topped with a creamy, low shine balm. Also don't forget strong brows, which will offset the need for lots of eye makeup since brows give the face definition. I've been loving Revlon Brow Fantasy lately, a dual-ended stick with brow pencil on one end and tinted brow gel on the other.
