Backstage at Oscar De La Renta autumn/winter 2015
Neither overdone nor barefaced, the beauty look that appeals most this winter is one that combines refinement with a fresh-faced modernity. Lightly stained lips in warm berry tones, precise eye liner and glowing flushed skin seem like the sophisticated elements we need in our beauty arsenal as our sartorial thoughts turn to luxurious velvets, deep-hued lace and shades of red from cerise to burgundy. Save the glam rock smudges and experimental trends for the blank canvas of the new year and hold onto the uptown, debutante chic that defined the autumn/winter collections.
Donna Karan perfected the polished look for autumn/winter 2015
The key to achieving this look is all in the details: skin that is ‘done’ but not caked, eyes that are defined but not exaggerated and sleek, blowdried hair. International makeup artist Marisol Steward tells us how to recreate the look seen on runways from Donna Karan to Thakoon to Chloé.
Why is this the beauty look of the moment?
This beauty look nods to the style of Lauren Bacall: it’s perfect for the party season. It looks strong and incredibly graceful, complementing any glamourous outfit.
What’s the starting point for achieving this polished party look?
The key is to prepare the skin for the makeup application. Apply an eye cream under the eye, a moisturiser primer all over the skin and a lip balm on the lips.
Which key products would you recommend for the look?
Bobbi Brown’s serum foundation for a healthy beautiful skin look, the Nuxe Rêve de Miel lip balm to add a glossy effect to the eyes after applying eye shadow, and a rosebud lipstick by Charlotte Tilbury in Night Crimson – use a touch of it to add a flush to the apples of the cheeks.
How can we extend the look?
If you would like to extend the look try going slightly bold with the eyeliner, apply mascara to the lashes and define the eyebrows by giving a thick arched shape.
