Bellaboo was lucky enough to be invited to the highly anticipated MAC cosmetics launch for Autumn/Winter 2008 seasonal trends. Recently making up the faces gracing the catwalks at Rosemount Sydney Fashion Week, world renowned makeup artist Gordon Espinet gave a presentation on the do or dies of makeup glam this season.

Attending 22 fashion shows each year and working alongside the big names including Chloe, Oscar Del a Renta and locals Collette Dinnigan and Jayson Brunsdon, Espinet influences high profile looks according to the trends he sees floating about on the merry -go-round of international catwalks, celebrity style and magazine covers.
Gordon Espinet's tip's for this Autumn/Winter;
1. MAC's Mineralize Skin Finish Foundation, $56
2. Pigment $39
3. MAC's Prep and Prime Skin $44 |
Honed
Better known as the fresh face look. Espinet urges you to stay basic with foundation this season, creating a clear appearance with minimal tones. He says; "At the end of the day it is about looking beautiful, not necessarily always looking trendy".
Giving yourself the honed look will allow you to stay natural and neutral throughout the course of the day!
- To get this honed look, opt for mineralized loose foundation such as MAC's
Mineralize Skin Finish Foundation, $56. Work it onto the
skin with a soft and subtle brush, below the eye-line area.
- For transparent contoured cheeks without the heavy matt appearance of blush,
Espinet urges the product Pigment $39, in deep subtle
tones to create your clear incandescent look.
Tip: Use a base liquid Primer before
foundation like MAC's Prep and Prime Skin $44, to create
a guard between the makeup and your skin. It will give your foundation
a fresh, glowing appeal that won't clog your pours. |
