How - Face

NYFW Peter Som

February 22, 2010

With more than a mere nod to the beauty we saw at Kate Sylvester, the girls at Peter Som looked pretty with a dark, almost black, lip.

Tom Pecheux described it as Uptown girl meets Woodstock - a shimmery golden eye to contradict the deep, dark, purple lip.

Here’s how he did it:

Eyes: Studio Sculpt Concealor applied over the eyelid as a base. Set Powder in Invisible powdered over the eye area to set the concealor. Pigment in With Legal swept over the concealed eyelid from lash to brown and in the inner corner of the eye. Iridescent Powder in Silver Dusk - lightly applied to the inner eye corner and under the brow bone. Studio Fix Lash applied to top and bottom lashes.

Face: Studio Sculpt SPF Foundation applied all over the face. Set powder in Invisible brushed over the skin to set the foundation for a matte finish. Iridescent powder in Silver Dusk - lightly brushed on cheekbones.

Lips: Lip Pencil in Currant, lined around the natural shape of the mouth, for perfect lip definition. Lipstick in Kittenish applied all over with MAC 242 brush. Mineralize eye shadow duo in Dark Magic lightly applied over lipstick with fingertips.

So what do you think? You going to rock a rich, ruby red lip this winter?
