• Runway to Real-Way: Inspired Fall Looks

  Most of us could not wear the full clothing ensembles and hair and makeup styles sported on the high-fashion runways in our everyday lives. I am going to take three details from different runway shows (all of the Fall 2008 Couture season) and make them more approachable to wear.

  Look 1: Armani Prive: Matte Berry Lips

  

  Try L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in 750 Plum Brulee. To make the texture more appear like a stain, pat the lipstick with a tissue to give a matte finish. Pair with minimal makeup, such as tinted moisturizer, a swirl of a light pink blush, and a flicker of mascara.

  Look 2: Chanel: Gray and Black Smokey Eyes

   

  The eyes at Chanel were rimmed with dark shades, borderline panda, of gray and black. You want to use either a slate gray or dark black eye shadow on the eyelids and around the eyes. (See my tutorial on smokey black eyes as well.) Use a light peach blush and a gentle lip balm to complete the look.

  Look 3: Christian Dior: Sky Blue Eyes

  

  This look has sky blue eye shadow from lid all the way to under the brows, but you don't need to go this extreme. You can simply use the pale blue shadow on the lid or take an eyeliner in the same color for beneath the eyes. Accompany with a peach lip gloss and blush.

  Love, Mary
