The makeup look at Narciso Rodriguez was created by Shiseido's Artistic Director Dick Page who kept the models skin clean with hardly any foundation on their faces (Shiseido's S1 Accentuating Color Stick was used on the cheekbones for that slight dewy-feel). Similar to the natural-looking look he created at Marc by Marc Jacobs, Page used nothing more than a touch of lip balm on the lips, keeping the focus on the models eyes. As you can see from the pictures above it's really the rimmed eyes that stand-out. To create the look Page mixed Shiseido's Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil in black with Aquaphor and then applied it, using a brush, to the upper and lower lash lines. What do you think about the look Dick Page created?

Bowl cuts, pale lips and mascara only on half of the models lashes -- oh my! This season Phillip Lim was so taken by Tao Okamoto's signature mushroom-like bob and her "plain face" that he called her his beauty inspiration. Lim had all the models in his show wearing a Okamoto-esque wig (Okamoto was Lim's opening model and the only one without a wig), and muted-mod makeup. NARS's lead makeup artist, Ayako, created the look which involved false lashes placed on the outer half of the bottom lash line. Then matte charcoal shadow was used with a wet eyeliner brush to draw lashes beneath and shimmering pink and gold shadows covered the lids. As for the lips, they were muted with NARS concealer and sheer matte foundation was used on the skin. To give a touch of shimmer to the matte skin, NARS Single Eyeshadow in Bombshell was brushed from the apple of the cheeks up to the temples for shimmer without pigmentation. How do you feel about this Okamoto-inspired look?

I was bummed to miss Bobbi over Fashion Week, I was arriving in NYC as she was taking off for a family vacation in Colorado. When I asked her how she could be gone over Fashion Week she replied "It's President's Day-- holiday family time!". This is why she is my hero! Check out Bobbi in action at the Rachel Roy show last week.

The focus at Zac Posen when it came to the makeup was definitely on the eyes and brows. MAC makeup artist Lucia Pieroni said that he wanted to create a "Tim Burton-esque girl -- very beautiful, but a bit creepy and doll-like." To create that look Pieroni blended Blackbery and Print Eyeshadows into the model's eye creases. Then Print and Carbon Eyeshadows were layered and blended along the lower lash lines then up and around the outer corners of the eyes. Smolder Eye Kohl was drawn along the inner rim of the lower lash line and, lastly, Shell Cream Colour Base and Clear Gloss were blended together and layered over the shadows to ad shine and depth. More about the look after the jump!
