BACKSTAGE AT: MARA HOFFMAN
MAKE UP FOR EVER ALLIANCE artist, Lottie (www.makeupforever-alliance.com), served as the key make up artist for the Mara Hoffman swim show on Saturday, July 17th. This season, Hoffman’s muse goes on a mystical journey through the jungle, visiting crystal caves, rivers, oceans; a tongue-in-cheek Amazonian tribeswoman in a bikini following her White Horse spirit guide. Lottie took her inspiration from the bold swimwear, creating a “spacey†tribal make up look with bright accents of fuchsia and turquoise that put the focus on the eyes.
Complexion & Cheeks: The skin was bronzed and dewy with highlights on the brow bone and high cheek. Aqua Cream #7 in Fuchsia was applied lightly to the cheeks and blended heavily so only a slight pink flush remained.
Eyes: To create this tribal chic make up look, Lottie applied MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Cream #4 in white to the entire lid, up to the brow bone, blending it out. The eyes were defined using MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes #0L in black on the bottom lash line only, and then MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Smoky Lash on both the top and bottom. Using a lip brush for added precision, Lottie drew small white dots at the top of the cheek bones starting from the outer corner of the eyes and over the blower bridge of the nose, following the natural shape of the eyes.
Lips: Lottie applied Lipstick #502, a matte nude lipstick, to keep the focus on the eyes.
