My favorite Makeup Artist Pat McGrath did it again…she really glammed up the makeup for Versace Ready-To -Wear Fall 2009 fashion show. McGrath mimicked Donatella Versace’s everyday smoky look when she did the makeup on the models. Personally this is my favorite style of makeup; I love it on my clients, on photo shoots and myself. This smoky intense black eye can work well on everybody if done correctly.

McGrath put together shiny black and dark blue powders on the socket and underneath the eye. She accentuated the crease of the eyes with a shimmery pink powder blending it right under the brow bone. To give it that wow factor she applied black false eyelashes. She used black eyeliner very heavily and she also filled in the models brows for definition. On the cheeks she re-used that same shimmery pink powder and a second pale matte pink blush. A liquid pearlized highlighter right above the check bone to help bring focus to eyes. McGrath finished this sexy glamor look with a nude gloss.

I think this may be the look I will wear tonight…with exception of taking the black shadow all the way out to the socket.

Makeup Artist Pat McGrath recreated the Scarlett Johansson look for the new D&G makeup ads for the

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 09 show.

McGrath called this look ‘modern Hollywood glamor’. Of course, she used Dolce & Gabbana makeup; powder foundation, a lipstick called Ultra (a great red), and a soft pink blush called Roses. From the Stromboli luxury line she used the light pink shimmery eye shadow, and the black gold eyeliner. She also used a black liquid liner and false lashes.

The above is my own version of this look that I did for a photo shoot…with bold red lips, light foundation, a pale pink blush, with a cream black liner, and I also filled in the model brow with a taupe brow filler.

At John Galliano’s fashion show the look Galliano was going for to me was…well you decide.

On of my favorite makeup artists, Pat McGrath teamed up with hairstylist Julien d’Ys creating a kaleidoscope of looks with inspiration taken from sources around the period of the 17th century including William Hogarth, James Gillray and Queen Elizabeth’s security guards.

McGrath used eyeliner in Night clubbing and Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara.

d’Ys, added voluminous wigs in cotton-candy colors and sprayed others into multicolored spikes, which were plastered with Galliano-print paper.

This trend has been around for ages, but it seems to be recurring. With the fall season well underway, this gives you a whole two seasons to contemplate and allow the Spring/Summer 2009 trend of the baby face to ingrain itself in your brain. I know, I know…you feel naked without your caked on mascara, eyeshadow, foundation and eyeliner. The truth is, and always has been, that the youthful, natural look is what’s in.

Issa’s Spring 2009 models showed the exact youthful aesthetic that Spring 2009 will bring. World renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath told Vogue that ”bronzed cheeks, beautiful pinky highlights and nice healthy skin” were key for Issa’s look. He also added that a smudged, youthful smokey eye and light, glossed lips are big!

Thanks Vogue and STYLE!

Hitting the newsstands is September is Glamour magazine. Normally Glamour is always hitting the right notes; a fun read to divulge into the world of beauty, fashion, news, and tips (not before Fashionindie of course), but we can’t say we agree with one of their articles in the making. Glamour is set to release an article, in their September issue, featuring “Seven People Who Could Change Your Style”. The list is less than impressive. The seven “fashionistas” include Pat McGrath, Victoria Beckham, Christian Louboutin, Alber Elbaz, Takashi Murakami, Serge Normant, and Agyness Deyn. Though many of these men and women have made significant names for themselves, I think it’s a little overboard to say that these seven people would change anyones style. Don’t get me wrong, their individual and unique and they let their clothes speak for themselves, but to say they start the trend? It’s ridiculous!

Thanks to fashionista for the pic!
