18 Sep NYFW Best Makeup Trends, Spring/Summer 2014: Dewy Skin, Coral/Pink Lips, Colorful Eyes
NYFW proved that fresh, dewy skin and bright pops of color on the lips and eyes are what to expect for the Spring/Summer 2014 season. We couldn’t get over some of the amazing looks found at shows such as Jill Stuart, Lela Rose, Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang and more!
A sheer wash of green eyeshadow graced the lids at Lela Rose, while sooty and glossy eyes made way at Jill Stuart. Read on to see what other makeup looks you’ll be sporting this coming Spring/Summer 2014!
Stila Cosmetics – Lela Rose
Who: Romy Soleimani of Stila Cosmetics as the Lead Makeup Artist at the Lela Rose SS 2014 show.
Look: A nod to mod, the designer was influence by mid-century design and architecture — particularly the soft curves of Arne Jacobson‘s iconic egg chair. Pop pink lips and electric eyeshadow help channel the era, resulting in modern looks with a fresh contemporary flair.
Products Used: Countless Color Pigments in Light Show and Eyeshadow in Cha Cha with Glamoureyes Mascara. Lips: Color Balm Lipstick in Betsey and Convertible Color in Fushcia.
Maybelline – Suno
Who: Alice Lane for Maybelline at the Suno SS14 show.
Look: Baby Lips Balm in Quenched was applied to eyelids (and lips) up to the brow bone for a glossy sheen with a swipe of Falsies Big Eyes Mascara. Nails were bright with Color Show Nail Lacquer in Orange Fix and Born With It (an opaque neutral pink on toes).
Inspired by African maximalism, with loose silhouettes and exotic prints. “There is a nod to grunge but it’s cleaner, polished and more wearable — for a sophisticated woman.” said Alice
Lane.
Products Used: Fit Me Foundation with lotion pushed into models face for a dewy glow. And Candy Coral Bouncy Blush on apples of cheeks.
Sephora PRO – Jill Stuart
Evelyn & Jill Stuart
Who: Sephora PRO, led by Aaron de Mey, created the makeup look for the Jill Stuart SS14 show.
We made model Lindsey Wixson smile!
Look: Cool, fresh skin punctuated with “imperfection” in the form of an intense, raw eye to
mirror the chic, modern feel of the season’s collection. Makeup a gal would do herself, but with
an elevated feel: touches of metallic and silver, for glowing skin.
Steps:
1. Strong eyes are best offset with flawless complexion. Use a creamy concealer like, Givenchy Mister Light Instant Light Corrector Pen and Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick, only where you need to hide redness and set it with powder, like Laura Mercier Invincible Loose Setting Powder — all while letting your natural cheek color shine through.
2. To add dimension, simply use a light application of glossing cream on cheekbones, nose bridge and chin with Josie Maran Argan Infinity Cream Intensive Creamy Oil.
3. Using a creamy black eye pencil, like Givenchy Magic Kajal Eye Pencil in Magic Black, sketch around the upper and lower lash line and smudge into crease.
4. Add a dot of silver shadow (Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No.7 Plush Shadow Palette in The Starlet 204; the silver shade) to inner corners of the eye (to add a touch of brightness.)
5. Finish with a glossy look by dabbing clear gloss on eyelids with Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Crystal, using fingertips or blend with the pencil to help smudge/create a gray effect. Finish up the look with generous coats of mascara, like Sephora Collection Outrageous Volume Mascara in Black.
6. Lips were left bare, just a dab of balm for a healthy touch.

Look: “The real statement of the makeup look is the satin textured orange lip. It contrasts the color and finish of the opalescent-textured eye, and also references the era of the artist Eugene von Bruenchenhein, which was a source of inspiration for Shane and Chris. We loved the idea of translating this into the beauty look as well.”
Products Used: Skin was perfected with the Radiant Cream Compact Foundation and
Stick Concealer. Eyes were awash with a sheer layer of shimmery moss green with a yellow iridescence using Iceland Duo Eyeshadow.
Make lips your focal point by using Red Square Velvet Matte Lip Pencil and Timanfaya Satin Lip Pencil (New for Spring 2014; for now try Heat Wave Lipstick with Triple X Lip Gloss).
NARS Cosmetics – Carmen Marc Valo
Who: Uzo for NARS Cosmetics created the look for the Carmen Marc Valvo SS14 runway show.
Look: “With its fresh spin on tribal motifs combined with luxe fabrics and intricate embellishments, the collection called for clean and polished makeup with a bit of playfulness. We added a hint of platinum shimmer and a strong, graphic black eyeliner.
Keeping the look modern and updated, a nude lip complemented the athletic playfulness in the collection.”
Products Used: A sheer glow was given to the skin with Sheer Glow Foundation and Loose Powder. Eyes wore a golden sheen by using the gold lamé side of the Kauai Duo Eyeshadow (New for Spring 2014; for now try Mousson Cream and Euphrate Eyeshadows), along with the delicate pale peach side of Key Largo Duo Eyeshadow and sheer white shimmer side of Pandora Duo Eyeshadow.

NARS Cosmetics – Tanya Taylor
Who: Uzo for NARS Cosmetics created the look for the Tanya Taylor SS14 runway show.

Laura Mercier – Pamella Roland
Who: Matin Maulawizada, Global Artistry Director of Laura Mercier created the makeup look for the Pamella Roland SS14 show.
Look: Pamella Roland’s collection was inspired by the glamour and decadence of the Cannes Film Festival in the early 1960s.
According to Matin, the French stars “were very different from the polished British and American ladies. They kept it sexy, a bit smudgy, like they just rolled out of bed and put lipstick on.” With a coral lip that paid homage to the colour palettes of ‘60s, and a modern peach and chocolate smudged eye, the look perfectly merged the past with the present.
Products Used: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen was applied to create a flawless canvas. Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Sunrise and Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Rosebud were dabbed onto cheeks, adding a natural, rosy flush to the skin.
Natural hues and bold lashes accentuated the eyes. Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Sunrise was applied all over the eyelid. Then, beginning at the lash line, Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Truffle was added and faded outward. Using the same shade, eyes were rimmed creating a “halo effect.” To complete the eyes, a coat of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara was used.
A classic, feminine lip was achieved using Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour in Mod. To add a final touch of glamour, apply Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Brigitte and then blot the lips.
