How Do You Do Your Makeup When You're Going to Fashion Week? Part-1


You'll admit it: Even though you'r a beauty editor, my makeup could not be more boring.


Each morning You spend exactly seven minutes applying tinted moisturizer, pink blush, black liner, and a few coats of mascara. The result is pretty enough, but it's exactly the same. Every. Single. Day.

Skip ahead to see how I'm doing my makeup and how to get the look.


So you've come up with a look that's fun, and you'r using products that are proven to stay put. What do you think -- will the pros be impressed?





Start with  cream, concealer, and powder

Start with cream, concealer, and powder
Before You reach for any other makeup,  always apply Some best cream. Makeup artists often refer to this step as "prepping the canvas," and they do it for good reason. I focus the color on my nose, chin, the center of my forehead, and the tops of  cheeks. This gets rid of redness and discoloration without making you feel like You'll wearing a full face of makeup.

Then, apply concealer under my eyes, around my nose, and anywhere I have a breakout. And to lock it all in place and keep it from creasing, use a large brush to dust loose powder all over.


The key products

During Fashion time, you need products with a good amount of coverage, as well as SPF and moisture since I'll be outside between shows. I love Natural Finish Cream, because it has SPF , leaves your skin feeling dewy, and covers  freckles better than a tinted moisturizer. Plus, the texture is so blendable, and it has added skin care ingredients. 



I've always had a little complex about having downturned eyes, but fortunately it's easy enough to "correct" with eyeliner. A stroke of black gel liner along my lashes with a subtle upward-sweeping cat-eye shape makes all the difference. Suddenly, You look more awake.

You'll layer the liner over basic beige eyeshadow. I'm not particularly adventurous with shadow colors, and  want your look to go with whatever outfit you decide to wear each day. Then, You'll finish it off with a few coats of volumizing mascara -- top lashes only.


The key products

You can't stress this enough: When you want your eye makeup to last, eye primer is a necessity. Make Up For Ever Eye Prime,  feels like almost nothing when you put it on, but somehow it manages to make makeup look perfect for three times longer than usual. You can layer a dark, smoky color

Bobbi Brown Longwear Gel Eyeliner,  is another must-have for Fashion .

How Do You Do Your Makeup When You're Going to Fashion Week? Part-2




Bold lipstick

You'r making dark berry lipstick the focal point of your look. It's wildly popular right now, and it's such a low-commitment trend -- if you hate it, you can always wipe it off and start over. To prep your lips,  exfoliate them with a warm, damp washcloth. This time of year, it's almost impossible not to have dry lips. Then,  apply the moisturizing lipstick and blot your lips with a tissue.



The final look

The result is pretty without looking too done, and I won't have to think about it constantly. I know these products can withstand everything from the subway, to the freezing cold, to cramped backstage situations -- all over the course of a sixteen-hour day.

For my hair, I'm sticking with my signature messy waves. The look only takes fifteen minutes to do (I rough dry my hair and wrap large sections around a curling iron), and it goes with everything -- my winter hat, most importantly
Now that you've seen my Fashion Week makeup, do you think I should completely change my hairstyle and snip some bangs?
