All About Eyes: Runway Edition- Oscar de la Renta

(photo from Makeup For Life)

This is my take on a gorgeous, green look that was seen in Oscar de la Renta's Spring/Summer 2011 Runway show, which I pretty much fell in love with. Check it out:






Products Used:
Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette - Original (teal)
Sephora Color Play 5-in-1 Palette - light blue-green & white-green
MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack
Clinique High Impact Mascara - Black


With an eye shading brush (I used Sigma's E55), I packed on the light blue-green shade on the lid, ending about halfway across the lid and just at the brow bone. With the same brush, I applied a teal shade along the outer half of the eyelid, creating a subtler flick than the one found on the model. Then with a pencil brush, I used the light blue-green shade again and applied to the the inner third of the lower lash line. With the same brush, I applied the teal shade along the rest of the lower lash line, blending it into the shadow at the outer corner. Next, I applied the white-green shade along the edge of the socket and the brow bone to soften the edges a bit. I used a large, fluffy eyeshadow brush for this.

I wanted the eyebrows to be quite natural, so I simply brushed through the hairs with an EcoTools brow groomer. Then with an EcoTools angled eyeliner brush, I applied Blacktrack Fluidline to the upper lash line, upper water line and lower water line. I created thicker line than one you would find on any of the models because I find my smaller eyes need a bit more definition. Lastly, I curled my lashes and applied 2-3 coats of Cliniqe's High Impact mascara.








Hope you like it :)

Collection Spotlight: Oscar de la Renta - Resort 2011




(photos from: style.com)

One word: classy.

The woman who wears these gorgeous pieces is the woman who watches polo matches, takes tea at the Plaza Hotel and lives on Park Avenue. People start bursting into spontaneous covers of "Uptown Girl" when she passes by (with the wind in her hair, of course). The creators of Gossip Girl will probably create a character based on her, too...

Anyway... My absolute favourite? The first photo in the last set. The lace makes it extremely ladylike and yet the see through top gives it an edge without looking trashy.

All in all, an absolutely lovely collection by Mr. Oscar de la Renta.






Happy Sunday :)
