Recreating Catwalk look, GROUND ZERO, Paris Fashion Week S/S 2014





For my recreation I choose the contemporary Geisha look from the Paris Fashion Week S/S 2014.
Generally it is a quite simple look but still I had some difficulties because of the choice of products.

I used:
  • Kryolan super colour in 070, 509, 071
  • Illamasqua translucent powder
  • Kryolan eye shadow palette in black pepper
  • Illamasqua cream blusher in Libido
->apply base using Kryolan super colour palette in 070 (you could also mix a bit of the Illamasqua skin base into it)
->blend well
->as seen in the picture you make the face look oval shaped-> don't go with the base to close to hairline 
->using Illamasqua translucent powder and powder well
->now while doing this look during the lesson I applied the black eyeliner first but I think it's better to apply the yellow first->makes it much easier!
->after applying the yellow (used yellow super colour (509)) powder it with the saffron from the Kryolan eye shadow palette so it won't be sticky anymore
->also I forgot to bring in an eyeliner that's why I used black (071) super colour  to create ther winged eyeliner which is not recommendable , then every time my model opened her eyes, even though I powdered the black, she got those nasty black stripes in her creases, and she opened her eyes a lot
->and because I had to keeping cleaning up the mess the white turned slightly grey, which was very annoying
->because my model has already very dark eyebrows I didn't had to do much, just applied a bit of black pepper from the Kryolan eye shadow palette
->lastly I used the Illamasqua creme blush in Libido for the lips, I used that one because it is a very nice bright red

 here in the first two pics you can see that the eyeliner is more pointy and sharp. Fanella suggested to smudge it out a bit with a baby bud because mine (as you can see in picture number 3) was quite thick at the end





-> I will definitely recreate this design again on myself/or someone else using different products
->main change will mainly be switching from black super color to proper eyeliner
->the red creme blush is already shiny but you could add a bit of clear lip gloss

So I redid the look on my sister while I was home during Easter. Apart from changing the above mentioned points also left out the white on the eyes when applying the base, because it's just getting dirty after applying the yellow and black anyway.When doing the eyes I stared with the yellow stripes using yellow eyeliner and the above the eyeliner yellow supercolor and eyeshadow. Then I did the winged eyeliner with the L'oréal Super liner Blockbuster. After finishing the details of the eyes I applied the rest of the white.







I didn't really like how the eyeliner turned out because I wanted the eyeliner to be more pointy at the end but it didn't really worked out when I tried to thin out the end.
