On the Runway
The powerful maiden
This style was created by the makeup artist, Tom Pecheux at a collection launch of Derek Lam. The uncared look of the brows was highlighted in this powerful maiden look. The makeup artist made generous use of light colors for the purpose. He coated the layer immediately beneath the brows with pale, light brown highlighters. The skin over the eyeballs was painted with shimmery, black eye shadow. The eyebrows were not defined with any color. Rather, they were kept natural and careless by combing them gently. Thus, they eyes looked intense and the eyebrows prominent. Further, the touch of bronzer on the cheeks and sheer lip-gloss completed the look.
The heavy brows
More than clothing and other makeup, brows reigned Altuzara. The looks that dominated the show stressed more on the predominance of thick brows on a barely painted face. Angled brush was used in order to apply a wet, black colored powder over the brows, which were combed prior to this. This was done to give a rough definition to the brows. Concealor was applied to hide the blemishes and the flaws of the face, otherwise which the face did not bear any other makeup. The lips were kept nude with a hint of glossy lipstick.
Theatrical brows
The theatrical brows were a creation of the makeup artist, Francois Nars. The eyebrows were defined clearly with a touch of black color. The emphasis of the artist was on creating a frame around the eyebrows, so that they were prominent and visible. So, the rest of the face was kept natural, without any hint of makeup.
